I have now cloned that physical hard drive to a virtual drive and am running my PC VM off that. Is there a way to set the virtual disk and the physical disk into a mirror so that...

    vCPU pinning with SMT

    I've been cross-referencing all kinds of posts and documentation to find a definitive answer to this, but it seems everybody does things just a tad differently with different syntax and I can't lock anything down. I'm trying to understand the proper combination of settings to pin vCPUs to a...

    Hit and miss GIM module runtime configuration

    I have configured the GIM module following this. I am able to pass VFs through to VMs and it works great. However, I have been trying to modify the runtime options as indicated here. Some seem to work, and some don't. The default 256M per VF is too low for what I want to use it for, so I am...

    vmxnet3 MTU bug? Patch available?

    I am working with nested ESXi 7.0, which I have found is only compatible with the vmxnet3 NIC. When powering on the VM, it eventually crashes quick enough that it doesn't even fully boot and I see this event in syslog: QEMU[1560506]: kvm: ../hw/net/vmxnet3.c:1444: vmxnet3_activate_device...

    Host Reboot when using PCIe Passthrough

    Hello, I have a VM that I'm passing a GPU through to. The passthrough itself works great. The issue is that whenever this VM is powered on, the host will reboot without any interaction from me. The reboot happens anywhere from 3 - 15 minutes after the VM has been powered on. I have many other...
