Environment :
DELL PowerEdge T330 server machine
The server has a PERC S130 Controller, two 1TB SATA disks, two 100/1000 network cards, Lifecycle installation.
In PERC the raid is by software, the ESXi Free was installed as NOT raid without disk 0 using a network card 0 IP 192.168.0.201
Problem :
On disk 1 a STORAGE 500GB was created, a VM created on it, Windows Server 2003 SP1 32 bits occupying 50GB C disk and two other F and G disks in two 200GB partitions and VMware Tools with the drivers.
On disk F and G there are XBASE databases that demand a lot of disk access and the network of that VM server is very slow.
If the same database were on a physical machine then such a problem does not occur.
VMTools installs Intel drivers on the VM card instead of the actual board's Broadcom drivers. I do not know if it is possible to put the card 1 directly as a VM card or have the physical drivers recognized, it seems to be something related to this.
Some guidance please
