The adding of additional volume replication tasks for the Auto Failover is not a design flaw but a feature we are currently adding to the Auto Failover feature and engineers are working to have this available in future releases but no ETA as of yet.
On the web interface being slow was this from the very begining? Also what version are you runing for the DSS V6?
Yes, the web interface has been slow since the beginning. Especially with actions on the volumes (list,create,modify,delete,etc).
But it has become unusable at this time: more than 2 minutes to list the LV on the VG, same time for every action.
It's weird to note that creating a LV with web interface takes 2 minutes but doing so with API takes 10 seconds.
As we're evaluating DSS, it's DSS V6 trial version.
For it to be slow from the beginning then something else is happening and we would need to look at the logs to see if there is some hardware issue. Send them to pre-sales@open-e.com
I sent the logs from both SANs. Primary with 50 volumes and painfully slow and secondary with 5 nodes (not all were added because the primary was unusable).
Firefox and Chrome (both latest with cleared cache) takes around 2 minutes to simply display the 50 volumes in the only volume group.
Any action on those volumes (add,edit,remove) taks the same time.
Internet Explorer is faster with around 1 minute to do the same actions. This is still very slow.
Still, API command volume_status takes around 4 seconds to display the same data.
Other API commands like volume_replication and create_iscsilv are also a lot faster (a couple of seconds instead of a couple of minutes).
