VSMT/ADS working very slow after upgrade to SP1

Hi,

after upgrading Virtual Server to the most recent version (1.1.603.0 EE R2
SP1), VSMT/ADS is not working properly anymore.
I'm seeing messages like "Valid bmcp message received" staying there for
more than 10 min., and after that it takes an hour to get 5% done; before,
in one hour almost everything was done. I reinstalled VSMT and ADS from
ADS_VSMT_1.1.exe, rebooted my server (as requested) and started up again.
Nothing changed, deploying still is very very slow. ADS and VSMT are on
the same server, and there's no load at all - it's just idling around.
It would be great if anyone has a solution for this.

TIA,
J.

Hello,

Did you add the SCSI driver to the ADS Deployment Agent?

No, but I didn't change anything to ADS that was working well *before* the

Tried that, too - copied all drivers from VM Additions to
DeploymentAgent directory and Pre-/Postsystem, no change at all;
everything's still slow.

Hello,

Currently there are no known problems about performance between VS and ADS.

Do you have a CPU with virtualization assist?
If yes, did you enable this?
Do you add a SCSI controller to the VM?
Did you add just the SCSI driver to the Deployment Agent?

Yes and yes. But that didn't make problems before.

No, I'm following the scripts generated by VSMT for capturing and
deploying a virtual machine and always added a SCSI controller at a
later stage.

I added everything I found in the Virtual Additions directory on a
virtual machine host; what I don't understand is that it worked before
and now, after upgrading VS, it's become that slow *only* in the
deployment process. Why would an upgrade to VS affect ADS?

Hello,

The upgrade to SP1 shouldn't effect ADS. Sometime I saw problems with VSMT
itself.
You have a SCSI Shutdriver VFD and you should use this driver to add to the
DA.

This driver (msvmscsi) was already part of DA - I just tried to convert a
test server and everything is as fast as before. Not sure what's the
problem as nothing was changed between these tries.
