cpu cores

I have proxmox installed on a server that has 2 Xeon x5570s inside of it each one has 4 cores and 8 threads. My question is how should I configure the CPU hardware for my Windows VMs? should I set the CPU configuration of the VMs as 2 sockets and 1 or 2 cores or should I set it as 1 socket and 2...

Hello, I have a slow problem with my VMs (linux / windows) under proxmox, despite the server is efficient server (12 CPU, 64 GB RAM), I gave the machines a lot RAM and CPU but still the slowness exists, as well as the internet connection is perfect Regards, Thank you,

Hi everyone. I have the following setup: Windows 10 PC with Virtualbox with Proxmox running inside. VM with Proxmox was given 6 cores (I have Ryzen 1600 with 6 physical cores). Inside Proxmox I have created an Ubuntu Server 18.04 VM (1 socket, 4 cores, 4 vCPUs, CPU limit: unlimited) Then I try...

I'm in a muddle with setting the number of cores, CPUs and Threads I use proxmox on a machine with 1x Intel Xeon D-1520 processor. This is a 4 core but 8 threads. I have only 1 VM running. Proxmox 5.1 summary for the node reports 8 CPUs However when setting the options for the processor in a...

In proxmox5 cpu setting have diverged from all the documentation. It seems that cores setting is gone, as well as cpusets, and right now only cpulimit prevailed. First, documentation thinks otherwise. Very probably should be updated. Second, this may be a problem if the programs in the...

As I create new VM for web site I'm in doubt if I should use kvm64 vs host type of CPU for VM. Choose host should looks like can give me more real cpu power (but I limited by real physical cores number), while kvm64 can be set to as high as 128, and (as I can imagine) will share the same...

My CPU is i7-4770, but when I choose Haswell as the Processor type, it would not boot up, so I am using "Default (kvm64)" under VM setting, and it works OK. I have two questions: 1. Does Proxmox optimize the VM depending on the CPU type? Or it does not make much difference if I left it as...

Hi I have been meaning to ask for a while, I have a server with 2 x Xeon E5-2650 CPU each with 8 Cores, Total 16 Cores. When I look in the Proxmox VE Web pane. It shows a total of 32 x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2650 @ 2.00GHz (2 Sockets). question! When I'm setting up my VM's do I use the actual sockets...
