Hi all,

I own a Dell EqualLogic Ps3110xs and I have have performance issue on my website at the moment.
Could anyone please provide me with layout advise?
The EqualLogic is set as raid 6 (accelerated) which provide 9TB of storage. Currently, I have only 1 volume is thick provisioning of 6TB. In xcp-NG, I have 17 VM VHD located on that volume and the current free space is 676GB

Could anyone please tell me the space I have left is enough to run everything smoothly or will i get issue?
This is the graph for the past year

Will I get better performance to create multiple volume rather than having only 1 volume?
Will I bet better converting my volume to thin provisioning?

Thank you all in advance.

Can you share the performance metrics from the virtual host and maybe on of the DB VMs?

Login to XCP-ng and there should be a stats tab for the volume that you are connected to.
