We just took our physical live server and did a p2v to move it to virtual. We already had moved our Roundtable server and had no issues. The one thing I forgot to test was the backups. We do have Replication but we run backups for troubleshooting and development.
We went live and everything was working well - performance was better and our application was smoother. Then we realized our offsite copy was failing. The backup times went from around 40 minutes to 3.5 hours. I expected some slowness but this one server is extraordinarily different.
We have another p2v server and it doubled to 80 minutes... All other VM's take around 80 minutes per online backup.
Just this one machine takes 3+ hours. We even copied that server and made all kinds of changes, trying to fix it and even the copy exhibits the same issues.
We have taken the AV off from it... all unnecessary software... Thick provisioned... changed the network adapter... given it more resources... given it less resources... Nothing has corrected the issue and Progress Support has not been helpful.
Before I copy one of our Replicated servers and prep it to replace the p2v'd server - does anyone have any related experience with this?
Thanks
