Hi all,
I'm seeing a huge drop of performance between running Iperf on the host and on a guest, even using virtio:
- Laptop versus PVE Host 942 Mbits/sec
- Laptop versus PVE guest (ubuntu 11.04 with virtio) 370 Mbits/sec
Here's the kvm command visible on "ps aux":
/usr/bin/kvm -monitor unix:/var/run/qemu-server/106.mon,server,nowait -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/106.vnc,password -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/106.pid -daemonize -
usbdevice tablet -name vm-filesrv -smp sockets=2,cores=2 -nodefaults -boot menu=on -vga cirrus -tdf -k fr -drive file=/var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-10.04.1-server-
amd64.iso,if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom -drive file=/dev/vg_raid5/vm-106-disk-1,if=virtio,index=0,cache=none,boot=on -m 2048 -netdev
type=tap,id=vlan0d0,ifname=tap106i0d0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/bridge-vlan,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,romfile=,mac=BE:20:B5:BD:AC:6B,netdev=vlan0d0
I've red the performance tuning posts and so far don't understand why my setup has so poor performance while using to good configuration options.
Thanks for your support.
