<div>Hi, I have two XenServers each with Dual Xeon E5320 @ 1.86Ghz, and 24 GB RAM, 2, 2.0 Terabyte (Green drive) Westernal Digital HD. I am using the XenServer 6.0 with latest version of DRBD. Both XenServers has dedicated gigabit NIC (Intel) connected with Cat 6 patch cable (direct connection), no switch used. i have enable jumbo frames (MTU 9000). Without DRBD perforamnce are great, but I use DRBD, I am loosing more than 50% of the performance. 1 MB sequential read is about 118 MB/s without DRBD, with DRBD it is about 27 MB/s. I get very poor disk read/write. I have enabled the tweak recommended by Linbit DRBD manual, still nothing seems to work. I have also, played around with changing syncer rate, nothing helps. I am using XenServer performance vm for testing the performance. Here is my DRBD config, how can I speed things up. Please help !!!</div>
