Thank you, I think redirection is my problem. &nbsp;I have permissions set properly on the config of the SAN. &nbsp;I'm going to follow this technote to change redirection in my cluster.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Cluster with 4 nodes running Hyper-V. &nbsp;Each host is a Dell R710 dual quad-core 2.4 xeon CPUs with 32 GB, hard disk is a Dell EqualLogic PS6000<br />
<br />
Each node runs about 5-6 VMs, mostly Server 2003 R2 and each VM perform at approximately the same level that they did as physical boxes using dual 2.4Ghz CPUs and 2-4Gb of RAM.<br />
<br />
When I create a Server 2008 R2 VM, I'm experiencing severe lag both through RDP and console access to the guest. &nbsp;I've tried tweaking the Processor type and count and giving the VM 4GB of RAM, but it doesn't make a difference. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Performance Monitor doesn't show high usage of CPU, Memory or Disk that would give a reason for this behavior. &nbsp;Are their recommended settings for running 2008 R2 in Hyper-V?<br />
<br />
Any help is appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Server 2008 R2 VM settings - Hyper-V Environment

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
