Hi there,
I'm having an issue on my hosts (2) wherein whenever I download large files/ISO's or run Speedtests etc and it consumes most of the available bandwidth for my ISP downlink (1Gbps), it seems to tank the Windows VM I am using at the time to download. I am connecting to the Windows VM's over RDP - using the console/VNC seems to be fine
I used the VirtIO drivers from Red Hat to get the NIC working and on both of the VM's. On both hosts I am using the Realtek RTL8139 NIC drivers. When creating the VM, I made no changes to the alternate configs, such as the CPU flags:
The disks are QEMU image format (qcow) and there is 'No cache' (I believe I should have set this to writeback(?)?
Specs of the hosts are OVH GAME-2 servers:
128GB DDR4 RAM
1TB SSD x 2 in RAID 1
Load on the server is around 10-20% on average and the VM's are suffiently spec'ed
I am using pfSense to sort the networking on both hosts, resource usage on pfSense when downloading said large files is good
Everything else is running smoothly
Thanks,
Alasdair
