Poor performance

[yabbah]

Hi, im totaly new to proxmox, coming from vmware. I have setup my server with a xeon processor, a ssd-disk (with proxmox installation) and two 1tb hdd's. I created a mirror XFS of them and used for container-data. Dont know if that because of that I feel like everything is lagging. If I just typ "htop" in command, it takes 3-5 sec to have it say that the command is missing bla bla.

Anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong? Is there a way to backup the VMs and copy the data over to a NAS and start the process over without ZFS and just use a disk without mirror/raid to see if it helps?

Thankful for any tips, cheers!

htop is not part of a default installation. you can always add it by installing it, eg
apt-get install htop

incidentally, the less pretty "top" is present by default in almost all linux distros

Is there a way to backup the VMs and copy the data over to a NAS and start the process over

Sorry if I was inexplicit. I know htop isn't a part of Ubuntu (which is my VM), but it shouldn't take 5 seconds for it to tell me that. Feels like the harddrive is given a pretty poor performance.

Thanks for the link to the backup-page, and the youtube-vid. I watch it when I go to sleep

I dont find a way to create the backup, and then create a new VM on another hdd and use that backup to restore?

forgive the crude markups

creating a backup:


restoring a backup:



The datastore for restoration is the same one you will choose during backup creation.

Hi,
what kind of SSD do you use?
XFS-Mirror sounds not for an standard installation...

What is the output of

pveperf -v
