    How does proxmox handle VE IOWAIT?

    Hello, I was wondering how PVE handles IOwaits, we all know that server load can increase considerably if several VE's on a node are accessing the disks and exhausting resources. I wanted to know if promox (since its a bare metal software) would use a SWAP partition for VE activities on the...

    External VNC viewer?

    What password are you using to authenticate? I tried the command Tom mentioned, VNCviewer (windows) asks only for a password, I tried with the rootpw, blank, space they all fail and "nc" drops the connection.

    Just make sure that you are using the recommended KVM settings when setting up a windows VE. See wiki. Then download the network card drivers and install them. Pretty much straightforward, I was surprised on how easy and quick KVM/PVE is compared to vmware ESXi (the free edition).
