    Emulated Network Cards

    Sadly, I don't think so. The packet driver sets the io area at 0x300. If I try a PCI card with a PCI packet driver (e.g. the Intel E1000) then there is no way to set the io area. I can't remember much about the way DOS stuff used to work, but I'm guessing that the application using the network...

    Emulated Network Cards

    I tried that, but there is an error stating that this card cannot be put on a PCI bus. It there a way to add an ISA bus?

    Emulated Network Cards

    I see from the Proxmox documentation (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qm_manual) that Qemu emulates a NE2000 ISA network card. I need this card for a legacy DOS application. How can I use this in Proxmox?

    Vzdump.conf settings.

    Thanks Tom. Is there a way to reduce the priority of making a backup? I'm not interested in speed really, I'd just like to reduce the impact of making a backup on the whole system.

    Vzdump.conf settings.

    To change the default settings for vzdump, can I just remove the # from the front of the item in vzdump.conf? For example, #ionice: PRI to ionice: 10 ? If this is the way it works, does that add 10 to the default (I think it's 7) or does it set ionice to 10?

    [solved] how to find which virtio drivers version is installed in windows?

    Re: how to find which virtio drivers version is installed in windows? Just extract the files from the iso. Then you can check the version numbers. For example, 0.1-52 viostor.sys in the Win7/x86 folder is version 61.64.104.5200. For the 0.1-65 iso, the same file is version 61.65.104.6500. It...

    USB Passthrough / High CPU Load

    I think that Windows loads all the drivers in the system\drivers folder, even if they are not used. I just looked at mine using http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html and there are loaded drivers that I am not using. Maybe when you changed the driver you didn't delete it as well, but left...

    [solved] how to find which virtio drivers version is installed in windows?

    Re: how to find which virtio drivers version is installed in windows? I think if you look further down in Device manager and go to Storage Controllers/Red Hat VirtIO SCSI Controller, you can get the driver version from there.

    USB Passthrough / High CPU Load

    I just checked. We have a Windows XP VM that has the USB device connected to it with the entry in the conf file, not via the monitor. So it has a USB 2.0 hub. The CPU utilisation reported by the VM itself is around 1-2% when you are not doing anything. From the web interface, it reports around...

    USB Passthrough / High CPU Load

    I'm using a USB device (well, it's a USB PCMCIA card writer) with a conf file setting of usb1: host=0781:5406 and I don't see any high CPU activity in Windows XP. I have found that the syntax... device_add usb-host,id=whateveryouwant,vendorid=0x0461,productid=0x0010 (note you need 0x in...

    usb stick (device) problem ..

    I use device_add usb-host,id=whateveryouwant,vendorid=0x0461,productid=0x0010 from the command line. I found that this works for a Windows XP VM, but on Windows 7 it does not. For windows 7 the only option is to add it to the configuration file and reboot. Don't forget the 0x on the command...

    Slow IO performance with LVM and no RAID

    I had a very similar problem, except I only had a single SATA hard disc. Fsync's were like yours - very low. I tried lots of things (including posting on here) and in the end tried a different disc. Everything went back to normal. The disc I was using was a Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 250 GB one...

    I have tried to clone a KVM Windows XP VM. When I do try, I get the following error: Full clone feature is not available at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Qemu.pm line 2093. (500) There's lots of space on the storage that I want to create the clone on. There would not be enough storage on local...

    Migrating physcial Windows 2003 servers using selfimage, fail to boot

    This may or may not help, but I discovered this http://www.aomeitech.com/ recently and it works perfectly. At least it did imaging and restoring my laptop. It's a bit like Acronis, but not with as many bells and whistles. You can make a bootable CD - eithe a Linux one or a WinPE one, and you...
