virtio

Hey everyone, I'm currently building a "proof-of-concept" for work using Proxmox. I have a 4x1Gb LACP config (see below), but I get slow performance from my VMs. I'm using a 400MBps NAS storage that works perfectly when a 10Gb non-vm client is tested. On Proxmox I have 3, Win 2012 r2 VM's with...

Hello, I am happily using LVM over iSCSI (file extents), however I have the need of creating a full clone of the drive (virtio0) over a NFS share. I can do this from the GUI with "move disk" and selecting the NFS share, w/out checking "delete source". This does create a .raw file which is a...

I've been running some benchmarks on Windows whose virtio disks are on Ceph. All is well. At one point I enabled the "krbd" option because I wanted to use the rbd pool for containers as well. Out of curiosity I reran the benchmarks on windows and to my surprise the write speeds are simply out of...

I have a proxmox 3.4 server that was setup for me with a window VM and a Container with VirtualMin on it. Now, I have a new server and I want to do the same but it's all over my head. Looking to pay someone for the help. Here is an example of what I need:

Hallo liebe Community, Ich habe die letzten Tage immer wieder versucht, WS2008R2 zu installieren. Ich habe zwei Versionen von dem Installationsdatenträger. Bei der ersten bleibt er bei "Starting Windows" hängen. Bei der anderen kann ich den Treiber von der "Virtio-win-0.1.102.iso" hinzufügen im...

Okay, so I have been able to pass-through my intel nic card to every single guest linux operating system just fine, and performance has been great. I can install/boot pfsense perfectly fine without having my nic passed through to it, but right when I pass through the ethernet card, the...

There's a thread in the old readonly forum parts: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/kvm-guest-will-not-boot-after-changing-drive-type-from-ide-to-virtio.4787/ This doesn't seem to be fixed. I have created a VM, added a sata disk, booted, stopped, added a virtio disk, deactivated the sata disk...
