    Container - CPU Cores on an Intel i5

    Hi, My CPU is an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz. I created a container and selected 8 CPU cores, however, I can only see 25% max on CPU usage. On Proxmox I can see 8xIntel core i5 sockets. Also feels it never surpasses 25% on max CPU usage too. The output of the command...

    Proxmox Xeon CPU upgrade choice

    I am doing a new Proxmox server build and while I am at it, I've been thinking to also upgrade the CPU on my Dell Precision T3610 workstation. It currently runs an Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz which appears to be a 4 core CPU, even though Proxmox says 8 x Intel Xeon. My use case for this...

    LXC-VM Resource Allocation.

    Hey Y'all. I've got a question. I hope it isn't a stupid question, but the only way to know is to ask, because google hasn't been forthcoming. I'm not an IT guy. By education, I'm an engineer. Computers are my hobby. I know enough to install proxmox and configure multiple LXCs/VMs over command...

    Problems with TwinCAT, Proxmox and isolated cores on Windows

    Hello, I am experiencing some weird problems with TwinCAT (TC) in a Windows-VM. Because these problems do not occur with a different hypervisor (vmware ESX or HyperV), I suspect that the problem is related to Proxmox, KVM and/or their implementation of nesting. But first things first: I am...
