Hi All
I am running a windows server 2019 VM on my TrueNAS Scale machine (Specs at the bottom of the page). I recently upgraded from TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.0.0 to TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.3.3; since the update, I have noticed the speed of my VM has dropped significantly despite there being no greater activity or resource usage inside or out of the VM
Task manager within the VM shows it's barely even using 10% of the resources I have allocated (4 Cores, 8 Threads, 16GB RAM). I have searched the net and looked for anything that may be causing the issue, but I cannot find anything of use, and all tests I can think of running don't show much concern. Its just extremely sluggish (Roughly 6 - 10 seconds per action inside the VM and between 10 - 40 min to boot it )
The VM is set up using AHCI mode for the NIC and drives I have attached as per TrueNAS documentation. (https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scaletutorials/virtualization/creatingmanagingvmsscale/)
The VM is stored and runs on 6TB 7.2K SAS Drives, and I considered installing a single SSD and running the VM only from it but swapping the drive does not explain why it was working fine till the TrueNAS Scale OS update was installed.
Hardware Specs
Chassis: Dell PowerEdge R720XD
CPU: 1 x Intel Xeon E5-2650 V2
RAM: 64GB (4x16GB) PC3-14900R 2Rx4 ECC
Hard Drives: 12 x 6TB 7.2K Dell SAS Drives in Raid Z3
NIC: Dell Broadcom 5720 Quad port
Power Supply: 2 x 750W HS 80+
