Hi,

I believe the EMC VNX iSCSI and NFS traffic are not on the same network interface. 
I'd check the bottleneck between the hypervisor and the storage, you can use 'iperf' [1] for that.
And also, try to check the connectivity to the VNX's NFS ports while the VM is paused while loading data on the VM NFS based disk.

Hello,

I'm facing a strange issue on my OVirt Dev pool.

Indeed, when I create high disk load a VM (kickstart installation or iozone test for example) , VM is paused due to storage I/O error.
Problem is 100% reproducible, and is located only on NFS (v3 and v4) on my EMC VNXe3200 NAS's (I have a 10TB and a 20TB NAS)
I have done test (simple iozone -a) with  VM 1 vCPU / 2GB RAM and 2 disk (1*20GB + 1*10GB). Both VMs disk are placed into the same SAN / NAS for each test. Results are:
- EMC VNXe3200 (10TB) NFSv3 => VM stopped after 10- 30s iozone lauch
- EMC VNXe3200 (20TB) NFSv3 => VM stopped after 10- 30s iozone lauch
- EMC VNXe3200 (10TB) ISCSI => No problem, iozone test finish, and performance are "standard" regarding load of the VNXe (60MB/s sequential Write for info)
- EMC VNXe3200 (20TB) ISCSI=> No problem, iozone test finish, and performance are "standard"regarding load of the VNXe (40-60MB/S sequential Write for info)
- NETAPP FAS2240 NFSv3 => No problem, iozone test finish, and performance are good (100MB/s sequential Write for info)
- Freebsd10 NAS NFSv3 => No problem, iozone test finish, and performance are good regarding NAS conf (80MB/s sequential Write for info)

I can't explain why I have an issue on NFS and I have not issue on ISCSI (on the same EMC VNxe3200...).
NFS default params are keeped when storage added to datacenter:(rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,clientaddr=XXXXXXX,local_lock=none,addr=XXXXXX)
(rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,soft,nolock,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,mountaddr=XXXXXX,mountvers=3,mountport=1234,mountproto=udp,local_lock=all,addr=XXXXXX)

Debug logs on host does not help me a lot:
