Hi,
I have four node S2D cluster with 2019 OS. This is lab environment with SSD+HDD disks and 10Gbps network. Cluster is working fine, I have great performances but there is one issue that bothers me.
Every time I patch nodes, and I restart one of the nodes I have to wait for Storage Jobs to finish (so that data is synced). I know that I have to wait this out and I monitor this with get-storagejob command. When jobs finish, I continue updating other server nodes. What bothers me is time I have to wait for these jobs to finish. They can take more than 60-80min.
Is there any way to speed this process up? I see that network and disks are not utilized fully when storage jobs are being done. I found online that this is intentionally throttled by Microsoft not to mess with VM performances. However, since this is Lab environment, I would love to speed this process up if possible, because in this way, patching takes to much time...
BR,
Soko
