Windows 2008 server on Vmware ESXI 4.1 Host copying of files slow
We have a windows 2008 Server running on a ESXi 4.1 Host within Vcenter.
The windows guest does run exchange 2007 server and has 1 xVCPU and 8 GB ram.
For some reason copying a 1 GB file from one folder to another on the same disk takes 5-10 minutes???
Server even becomes slow , but I cannot see any hit on CPU or Memory.
Any ideas?
Copying the file off to another server on the network only takes a few seconds!!

Are you looking at task manager or VMWAre? What type of drives are you running on the backend

VM has two disks
one VMDK on Equallogic SAN (OS)
one raw mapping to equallogic SAN (Exchange DataStore)
Tried copying a file on C:\Data\1Gb.file to C:\TestCopy\
Had a look at taskmanager while the copy occured but nothing that stood out
SAN runs quite a few SAS 15k Disks in raid 5 (As recommended by Dell and equallogic)
