G'day
We have several proxmoxes at work, most of the VMs are running a sort of Linux where I don't see any negative performance. Now I recently set up a W2k8 R2 VM giving it a virtio Network and virtio block device. I installed the for both kind of hardware the latest drviers than are inside rhe RH-provieded 1.2.0-1 package for RHEL6.1.
The Machine boots very fast, but when I install updates or do any sort of higher load
- Proxmox shows almost no cpu usage by this VM
- Windows Taskmamanger says high load (80% on let's say 2 vCPUs, but most is idle?)
- Only the resource monitor reveals a high count of system interrupts which seems to bugger the Windows VM dramatically
Is this a 'known issue' caused by Windows or the virtio-win drivers? I'd be interested to know why this is actually happening - and if possible resolve this 'problem' (well, this machine cannot be 'fixed' by switching to Linux)
