Yes, VMWare Tools of ESXi5 are installed. I thought they might get me a
newer LSI driver (because LSI is the standard of ESXi).
@Stan Hoeppner
I will give the PVSCSI a try. I´ll let you know if it solved the problem
(i really hope....)
@Stan Winnet
I installed Debian from the netinstall image from debian.org.
I first thought it might be a problem because of additional software,
but a second stock install behaves the same way.
We have several Debian machines running in ESX and ESXi, but this one
got a high-load database software. The other ones haven´t got high loads
so the problem did not show up. No one discovered the slow HDD
performance till now ;)

I got a serious problem with a Debian install on an ESXi 5.0 Server.
Debian installs fine and seems to run fine, but the harddisk performance is
really low.
I got latency times of about 44 seconds, tested with bonnie++.
What I´ve done:
- New machine in ESXi, harddisk controller "LSI Parallel" (Debian uses the
LSI53c1030 driver (mptlinux v 3.04.12))
- hdparm -i /dev/sda says:
/dev/sda
SG_IO bad / missing sense data.
The latest drivers from LSI are 4.28. I don´t know if it is a driver problem
oder VMWare Problem.
I also did a new install with harddisk controller setting "LSI SAS", but no
performance improvement.
The VMWare ESXi Server should be alright, because a SLES11 Instance that
runs on the same machine and same datastore performs well.
LSI provides new drivers (v 4.28) but RHEL/SLES only and a conversion via
alien and later install of the deb-File brought no change.
Anyone got a clue how to get this running?
Have you installed vmware tools?
