    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    The switch shows 1GB connection in Auto. Changing it to fixed at 1GB makes no difference, but I did try it.

    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    So I'm finding a ton of instructions on how to disable VMQ when it's on a Windows based machine. But since Proxmox isn't Windows based and it controls the physical NIC, how do I turn VMQ off?

    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    I'm all about learning. My biggest problem is that I learn something and then don't use it for five years and forget all about it and have to start over. I'm a two-man shop so I'm into everything, but nothing for very long. Things were fine with my old Proxmox but with Microsoft putting an...

    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    I don't know linux well so I don't even know what that request means. I'll have to go find the commands to turn off TSO I sort of hate to just start throwing commands at it that I see in the threads because I don't really understand what I'm doing. It means I can't really discern between...

    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    But in the threads it's talking about the NIC being set to the VirtIO or the E1000. Those would be VM guest settings, not the Promox host. You're saying it's the physical NIC on the Proxmox host that needs to have TSO disabled?

    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    I disabled TCP offloading. It didn't make any difference. I also looked at the e1000 thread but I'm running VirtIO drivers on some of the VMs and still have the same issue. I didn't make any changes to the physical card on the Proxmox machine however.

    Really slow NIC speeds

    Actually I'm starting to wonder if it's either the physical NIC on the machine or the way Proxmox talks to the Physical NIC. All my VMs are showing super limited speeds. And if I'm doing something such as cloning a VM, the other machines nearly stop responding. Maybe the problem isn't with...

    Really slow NIC speeds

    See, that's what I'm wondering as well. On my OLD Proxmox machine (version 3.4-6.. don't hate me) I ran everything with the e1000 NIC. But as I was building these new servers on the current version of Proxmox I kept reading that I should install the VirtIO cards instead because they worked...

    Really slow NIC speeds

    Is this problem limited to the VirtIO drivers? If I tell Windows its a Realtek driver or something would that be better? I know Windows doesn't like it when you change hardware around too much so I'd sorta like to have an idea if that will fix the problem before I pull the plug on it.

    Really slow NIC speeds

    I found instructions for turning it off on the NIC in the configure/advanced section. On my virtual NICs it appears to be called "Receive Side Scaling". I disabled it but no change. Data transfer still crawls.

    Really slow NIC speeds

    So if I understand this correctly, Windows is passing the workload to the NIC and in this case, the virtual NIC isn't doing a very good job of it. So we run the commands to place the workload on the CPU instead of the NIC card. Is that correct? Indeed when I run "netsh int tcp show global "...

    Can't remove VM after cloning

    Yes, plenty of space. The drive is only 20% used at this point.

    Really slow NIC speeds

    I already installed them. Device Manager confirms the Network adapters are Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapters. So far it's taken almost 2 hours to copy 24GB over the NIC... and it's still not finished. It says there's another 5GB to go.

    Interesting Realtek Speed Issue with PVE5

    Was hoping you'd get a response. I'm seeing the same issue with my VirtIO NICs.

    Can't remove VM after cloning

    Tricky. On the summary screen it shows the status as "OK " after cloning. However when I look at the log I see this: drive-virtio0: transferred: 751512322048 bytes remaining: 106954752 bytes total: 751619276800 bytes progression: 99.99 % busy: 1 ready: 0 drive-virtio0: transferred...

    Really slow NIC speeds

    I have some Windows Server 2019 VMs built on Proxmox 6.1-3. I have NICs in them configured as VirtIO (paravirtualized) per recommendations. It's connected to 1GB router. However the speed on the NIC is really slow. It varies from 0 to 5mb, most of the time around 1.5-2MB/s. Why so slow...

    Can't remove VM after cloning

    I had a VM which I wanted to rename. I did a search of the forum and it said the way to do that was to clone the VM and use the new name in the clone so I did that. So now I'd like to delete the original VM with the old name however the Remove option is dimmed from the menu so I can't delete...

    [SOLVED] PERC H710 software that's compatible with Proxmox?

    Where else do repositories get stored other than the /etc/apt/sources.list file? The reason I ask is that I'm getting an error but I don't know where the file is that's being called for the update. My /etc/apt/sources.list file looks like this: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster main...

    [SOLVED] PERC H710 software that's compatible with Proxmox?

    Thanks. Not sure what I did wrong. The file was already saved with the correct deb line so I just re-ran the last three commands and this time they ran fine.
