Ubuntu Server 24.04 VM Virtio NIC

[shimabuku]

I currently have an Ubuntu Server 24.04 VM using VirtIO with a Linux bridge. I am unable to get this ubuntu vm to recognize the virtio interface as 10G. Ethtool won't even display for the virtio interface. Am I missing a driver of some sort?

Well... it is a virtual device. Capabilities reported may be different than the hardware implements.

Did you actually try to transfer more than 1 GBit/s? Give it a try - using iperf3 for example.

Hello, i try it yesterday by my self, on my mini nas with Ryzen 5 3500X cpu, ASRock B550M Mainboard with 32 GB Ram and as storray i use ZFS: 2x ssd (rpool) and 2x ssd (special device, zil/log)+ 2x hdd Harddisk (dpool).
The installation on a VM work fine with 4 CPU Core and 6 GB Ram.
I use SDN Nat on SimpleNetwork for this client only test setup.
I Have 2 real network connections for Management 1 GBit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s Dataaccess.

Maybe you must install qemu-guest-agent, so you can easy use all feature von Promox VE, KVM:

VirtIO is only for WinOS usage of virtual Disks.

VirtIO is only for WinOS usage of virtual Disks.

Is it? The relevant drivers for that virtual NIC are already baked in by default?

This very old page is irrelevant nowadays? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Paravirtualized_Network_Drivers_for_Windows

Some minutes later: I've just started a (rarely used) Win11 VM and it shows me "Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter". There must be a reason for this one to be present...?


Edit: forget this/my post. Ubuntu..., not Windows...
