Poor performance
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:20 pm
We installed the system about a month ago and the installation looked fine and also the provisioning of the images and machines. However, after we started building labs we noticed that the machines got really slow to the point that we could not work with them anymore. It happens with Windows server, workstation, Cisco devices and others.
After we restart the server, everything works ok for some minutes and then start getting slow again.
Can you please, advise on what other information you may require to help us and what can we do to sort out this issue?
