@jens-maus have you tried to disable KSM on top of "mitigations=off" before VM start?
in my setup there is no memory pressure within the VM, so KSM in inactive state
In our environment we so exactly the same. CPU spikes and ICMP ping losses + novnc console freeze with increasing number of RDP users logging into W2019. However setting mitigations=off helped (>50 users work fine on each W2019 vm)
One more interesting thing. We could not reproduce an issue...
For the record:
I had to do the following:
1. nano /etc/kernel/cmdfile -> root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs mitigations=off
2. proxmox-boot-tool refresh
3. reboot
4. Check with lscpu
R u sure it is correctly applied?
Check with lscpu. Should be like this:
root@063-pve-04347:~# lscpu
Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Address sizes: 46 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s)...
We also noticed that problem appears more when >64Gb ram allocated (especially 128 and more) and more than 24 vCPUs
P.S as I mentioned in another thread, setting "mitigations=off" helped (as workaround only!)
Wrong guest memory report by balloon with fresh PVE 8.x and fresh Windows 2019 as guest
- Fresh PVE 8
- Fresh Windows Server 2019 as guest
- No software but latest Virtio drivers (0.1.229) + balloon service + qemu Guest Agent
I made one of my nodes NFS server (10Gb, NFS exported from ZFS storage with SSD disks)
I connected 12 hosts to that Node (NFS storage) with default NFS settings (v.4.2)
nfs: DS-254-NFS-B
export /tank254/datastore/slave/nfs64k/id254
path /mnt/pve/DS-254-NFS-B

We've managed to set it up. It works no really smoothly but works

Thanks for the reply. Yeap, I'm fully aware about the issue with IP setting changes (mainly in Windows) - faced it several times.
The question is - is there any significant reason to do so and keep VM "up to date" ?
For example: may be there are relations between latest Virtio drivers (for all...
