    No VM is running, but 8 of 16 CPUs are in 100% usage in htop

    As shown in the attachment and described in the title, it's really frustrating to use PVE in this situation, and I don't know what's causing the problem. the system is PVE 7.4-18, and no VM is running. Edit: I found that there is a specific VM can cause the issue, which is shown in my...

    Slow Windows 11 Performance

    Hi there, I've been searching for a week and can't find the answer. Why is my Windows 11 VM so slow?? I'm simply testing the UI via RDP between several machines (2x VMs and 2x bare metal computers). The 2x bare metal computers are snappy and HIGHLY responsive. The 2x VMs struggle just...

    Ceph Database Deployment Geo-distribution & Latency Question

    I love Proxmox's ability to make it super easy to set up a three-node HA cluster with Ceph. I like to use it for my VMs and SQL databases that require a lot of IOPS. This way, if one of the nodes goes down, my SQL DB VM can be quickly redeployed to another node. That way, if one of the nodes...

    Terrible VM disk performance compared to LXC

    I understand that LXC has less overhead than a VM, but the difference is so big that I suspect misconfiguration on the VM. Hopefully I can get help to correctly configure a VM for better performance. LXC specs: VM specs: Host specs: Using this fio configuration: [global]...

    Proxmox slower in CPU/Memory than VMware

    Hi, I've done some performance tests with the tool from PassMark. What I notice is that my CPU and memory are slower than in VMware even though Proxmox has a better CPU than VMware. From my understanding Proxmox should be better performing? Is there something I can finetune? Am I doing...

    Proxmox ZFS Performance Question - General Structure, PCI Passthrough and NVME SSDs

    I am currently planning to migrate to Proxmox, but would like to find out some important things before I actually take the step. Before I ask my questions, I think it is best to describe my setup/requirements: I don't run many VMs, but a few with high IOPS and consistency requirements, as I run...

    Horrible network performance with Atom C3758 + Intel X557-AT2

    I am testing a migration from ESXi to Proxmox. I currently have a lab environment setup on ancient hardware/software. Ancient setup is a SuperMicro A1SAi motherboard with Intel Atom C2750. Hypervisor is VMWare ESXi 5.5. Onboard 1G NICs are driven by "igb" driver version 5.0.5.1. Add-on 10G...

    Performance: zvol vs. raw files on a dataset

    Hi, while getting some infos about bhyve I stumbled upon this site: https://klarasystems.com/articles/virtualization-showdown-freebsd-bhyve-linux-kvm/ It's actually about comparing bhyve to KVM, but there is another thing: they compare IO performance of VMs installed in a zvol or in a raw file...

    [SOLVED] Ceph configuration - best practices

    Long story short... not possible. I'm planning to install and use ceph and HA in my working cluster enviroment. I have 4 nodes with 256GB RAM each and 2x10G NICs dedicated for ceph cluster network traffic. I already know this may be not enough for perfect performance so I'm planning to swap NICs...

    [SOLVED] Sync performance when using IP server instead of FQDN?

    According the PBS manual, HTTP/2 is used for transfer data. Does this work when using IP server for remote sync or for FDQN? Or is a FQDN a requirement for HTTP/2?

    Lessons learned about using NFS shared storage in a ProxMox environment (w/ Synology?)

    It's possible some of the following is specific to my environment... but having read a ton of threads to solve my issues, I suspect these are more general insights gained. NFS has had serious reliability problems when it comes to rebuilding broken links... until version 4.1 Before that...
