Connections being throttled to 1000 per VM

[jacobwm]

We have a few servers with high connection requirements that could initiate up to 5000 connections to a database on the back end. Unfortunately we're seeing connections being stopped at around 1000 for each vm, multiple VM's on the same host can all happily go up to 1000 concurrently, but no higher.

Is there a tuning paramater we can apply to allow for more connections? The VM's are trying to open thousands of connections to a separate physical bare-metal MSSQL server.

Thanks for a great product.

I should clarify, these are Windows 2008 R2 64-bit guests, using the E1000 nic.

All, thankfully it was a Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition issue. Replacing with Std server resolved it. Not a proxmox issue at all!

Keep up the good work, team.
