    Merge CPU cores

    Hello everyone! Is it possible to "merge" CPU threads in proxmox to improve perfomance for VMs, that can't use many threads? For example, i have Dell R430 with two CPUs - 64 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2698 v3 @ 2.30GHz (2 Sockets), but the most important VM on this host has a license limitation...

    Async IO setting for cloud-init drive

    Hi, it would be nice to be able to set the Async IO option (aio=) for cloud-init drives in the GUI. We are running a shared storage on a SAN LUN with OCFS2 and we know this is an unsupported setup. Since kernel 6.5 we need the aio=threads parameter for virtual disks. For normal vHDDs this can...

    how to know how many vCPU i can use for creating VMs?

    Hi, I am reading some article that says, to calculate vCPU is using this formula: (Threads x Cores) x Socket = vCPU I am curious, is that formula is right? Let's say i have a physical server with 1 CPU @ 4 Cores/8 Threads and 32GB RAM with Proxmox VE running inside and with that formula, that...

    [SOLVED] Sockets vs Cores vs Threads vs vCPU vs CPU Units

    I've read everything I can about this and I still don't understand how this works in Proxmox. I have a 2 x E5-2698 v3 Server which has 2 sockets, 16 cores per socket, 2 threads per core. So that's a total of 64 threads, 32 physical cores, 2 physical sockets. Proxmox is showing this like this...

    Passthrough of Cores and Threads

    Hi all, can I pass all cores and threads to a Virtual Machine? So that the machine has for example all 8 cores and all 16 threads of the node. Purpose for this is licensing. Thanks in advance for answering. Regards, Andreas
