I'm sad to said that but we rolled back to 2.1 and decided to completely disable PVE system update. All of our tests given us that 2.2 even from pvetest is a bit less stable (to be clear: "give us a bit more questions to deal with") that "good-old" 2.1. In our environment we're also need to...

Tried to, looks promising! Should I use win2008 or win2008r2 as ostype? And... if there any way I can use to disable hpet on all VMs at once?

Tried several variants, now use 'host' option. Thanks for the tip, installed irqbalance, no luck at all, all looks the same.

Just checked, that's exactly what Windows uses, right from setup. In fact I've never set that for SMP hosts ever, and never feel any slow.

I got some really strange news... As I've upgraded PVE to the pvetest, and try to run two Windows 2003 R2 x86 KVM VMs (they are the same, except for MACs and IPs) on it, I see pretty unusual behavior: as I run first VM, it run well. The host machine load is about 20-30%, the host memory is...

Will try to check if that hepls ut do you really think virtio drivers may help with that 'extra cores = extra slow" problem? I see that slowness (Windows) even when it run the Windows installation from iso (and the devices were not virtio, I've installed on IDE and Realtek, and changed to virtio...

Thanks for pointing out that qemu/kvm 1.3 is already stable one, I feel much better now knowing it, no jokes! To reproduce... The machine is HP DL360G5, 2 x Xeons, 410i RAID with battery, 2 x SAS disks in mirror - just an ordinary (while branded) server. We got some of such servers so I used...

Hello! we run Windows 2003 R2 x32 server for quite a long time now (since first 2.x release I believe) in KVM VM and all that time OS was running smooth and fine. Tha machine is like this: boot: c bootdisk: virtio0 cores: 2 cpu: host memory: 4096 name: Server net0...

Re: Low performance of data transfer over cifs mounts Gottcha! Yes you're right, all I can do is thank you for your help anyway. Seriously, you guys doing really great job! But (I think you'll agree) there's kind of bug (or this is an intended feature?) here as PVE 2.1 was able to run the...

Re: Low performance of data transfer over cifs mounts I'd like to, but the primary guest OS is Win2003R2x32, exactly this, and it won't work at all with "...kernel_irqchip=off". This fix looks like upcoming in 2.3, but not like it considered a problem at all. Just for a minute, why do you...

Re: Low performance of data transfer over cifs mounts I\ve installed PVE 2.2 on HP server (2xXeons, HW RAID w/ battery, 2xSAS disks), and the install process looked fast and rather good. But as I created a VM with 8 cores (4 core x 2 sockets) and installed Windows 2003 R2 x86 OS on that VM, I...

I really wonder if 'default' setting may be slow or not?

Hello, here is the config problem I face: if I need to run as fast as it possible two windows guest machines (win 2003 r2 x86) with 4 Gb of RAM each, if I have say 16 or 32 Gigs of RAM in the host server will there be any significant difference in VMs speed due to in-RAM caching on host...

I'd like to, but the guest OS is 32 bit one (as I pointed above), so it can not see more memory dispute the fact I can easily add it to VM itself. The s/w in the guest OS prevents me from a) migrating to any x64 OS b) split user base between two or more equal VMs. You know, 'legacy software'...

Hello, I try to speed up my Win 2003 r2 x86 KVM machine. Due to fact the machine is 32 it can not access more that 4 Gb of RAM (well, even lower value), and the load is pretty high, so it uses swap high enough. As my host server has 32 Gb of RAM, I was wonder if it is possible to create some...

That's it! Thank you!

Hello, I try to make some monitoring system to check which VM are running/non running on given server. It is easy to check from web interface, but I can't check it from bash scripts. So, may I ask you for advice - how can I check which VMs are running now from script or shell? Another thing...

Unfortunately I can not afford myself to test it now, but maybe there is a way to attach whole external eth0 to vmbr (with whatever VLANs in it)? Maybe then I'll see these VLAN's inside VM? I've tried that long ago, at 1.8, so maybe it is possible to setup that now at 1.9 or 2?

I'm afraid that's what I do now. I need to have only one eth0 inside VM and have subinterfaces of it (like eth0.1, eth0.5 etc). This way I'll know which VLAN is assigned to each subinterface. As of now, I have a bunch of eth0, eth1, eth2 etc. (represents vmbrs attached to VM) and I have to...

Oh, good news. As far I used to live with such a setup: /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 auto eth0.1 iface eth0.1 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 auto...
