WVD + FSLogix (Azure Files) with 8 x D8S-v3 for 340 users - Major performance issues
Hello, We have this week gone live with a 340 user WVD with FSLogix deployment in Azure on 8 x D8S-v3 size servers. We are having performance issues which we're not able to get to the bottom of....
Adam Weldon-Ming What does your Azure Files configuration look like? What performance tier are you using? Are the session hosts and the Azure Files (and VM, if attached) all in the same Azure region? Same virtual network?
All of what you're reporting is very likely to be related to the FSLogix user containers and the dynamic process of them being attached to the session host at/during sign-in. The questions above are starting areas though.
Hi Justin,
Thanks for responding,
I believe that the Azure File Share is on the Standard Tier. They are all in the same region and virtual network. We have now added to more VM’s into the host pool so have a total of 10 VM's - the idea here was to see if spreading the load more will improve performance. Users start in about 20 mins so going to see what the outcome is.
Do you think enabling Accelerated Networking on the VM’s help with performance?
Kind Regards
- Hi Adam,
During a POC setup of WVD for one of my clients I've noticed similar issues and changed Azure Files (FSLogix profile store) to a Premium tier. This had a significant positive impact on the user experience in WVD!
Kind regards,
ThomasSame here, we are using Premium, with larger disk sizes, at least 1024 to get the througput/iops. One file share per host pool. And D16-v3s. Expensive setup, but, figured start big and ratchet it down later if needed.
