Hi,
I have 512 GB ram and Intel Xeon Silver 4314 16C 135W 2.4GHz Processor CPU.

I have one Debian Linux as file server and one Win2024 server as SAP B1 and MSSQL server.

How can I share resources according to my guests and proxmox for fast working?

pveperf out is below;
root@proxmox:~# pveperf
CPU BOGOMIPS: 307200.00
REGEX/SECOND: 3747907
HD SIZE: 93.93 GB (/dev/mapper/pve-root)
BUFFERED READS: 396.23 MB/sec
AVERAGE SEEK TIME: 0.11 ms
FSYNCS/SECOND: 832.43
DNS EXT: 82.96 ms
DNS INT: 56.66 ms (proxmox)
root@proxmox:~#

Regards,
Mucip:)

What resources you do mean? Resources like CPU, RAM and Disk is always shared. Each VM takes what it needs and that is the main goal behind any virtualization.

Hi,
I want to ask: How much ram should I give to VM's and how much CPU/SOCKET should I give to VM's?

Is this only one CPU? If so, don't set sockets to more than 1, increase the cores to match 8.

The number of cores and RAM is application dependend, so you need to ask the person who set everything up or ask the vendor of the software that is running on the Windows box.

Was it intentional that you used RAW as the harddisk storage type? You cannot do snapshots with this.

Hi,
Yes we have 1 CPU. I will do what you wrote than...

I used RAW because best practice suggested this? I didn't really know. I make backup only one time in a day. So do I need snapshot?

What best practice suggest such a nonsense (having raw FILES)? One of the main features of virtualization are snapshots of VMs. One thing that cannot be done with non-virtualized machines and it is a game changer, e.g. before an update of an os or an app, just create a snapshot and revert back if it fails. Yes, you can do that with backup & restore, yet it is MUCH MUCH slower.

Hi,
I read it from this page unfortunatelly.
What do you advice now? Infact I am OK by now but I want to learn how to use other formats and advantages (performance and secure)?

It's not wrong what's written there ... RAW is the most performant option. Not using virtualization is even more performant ...
Yet it is the opposite of virtualization, where your virtualize everything.

Depends on what you want, yet having thin provisioning, transparent compression and snapshots is the main goal for virtualization for decades now. I wouldn't want to miss them.

Hi,
Thanks for valuabe informations which is open mind.
What do you advice than? Which format is optimal between performance and secure If I want to use snapshot option?

Hi,
But it's written here snapshot is also possible if I did not missundertstanding?
