Hi,
just trying to install Win 2003 Server Small Business Edition on a
X4600M2 with snv_b98, ZFS root mirror of 2 SAS HDD on a ZFS vol on
a 2nd ZFS mirror with 2 SAS HDDs and 16 GB RAM (4 x Dual-Core AMD
Opteron(tm) Processor 8222).
However, it is unbelievable slow - 5 hours now and still on the iso
image of disk 2/6! To get to know, how long that crap "normally"
takes,
I installed it on a MacbookPro with Core2Duo 2.4 GHz using VirtualBox -
there the whole setup took ~ 2.5 hour "only".
My setup:
/etc/system:
set zfs:zfs_arc_max = 0x40000000
/kernel/drv/e1000g.conf:
...
tx_hcksum_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;
lso_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;
+ zfs create -V 16G pool1/win2003sbs.dsk
+ virt-install --name=win2003sbs \
--ram=3584 --vcpus=2 \
--hvm --accelerate --vnc \
--bridge=e1000g0 --mac=0:16:3e:5e:fc:fc \
--file=/dev/zvol/dsk/pool1/win2003sbs.dsk \
--os-type=windows --os-variant=win2k3 \
--location=/export/scratch/elkner/isos/w2003sb1.iso
+ virsh list

Total: 59 processes, 218 lwps, load averages: 0.95, 0.95, 0.94
Any hints, what might be wrong?

Is it possible that the disk I/O was running very slow? What is the output of ''iostat -x 2'' in dom0?
