Hello i have worked with Proxmox 1.9 and now with 2.0 with Linux VM - they worked great!!

But now i want to use a Win 2003 Server, installing was not great but its ok (took very loong time to install)!!

The Hardware is a HP ML 380 with 16GB Ram an 2 Xeon Quadcore CPUs!

The Installation tooks 2 Hours!! I have configured the HDD and Network with Virtio!

Now he tooks about 10 min to start Win2003 (from Grub to Win Logon)??

Is this normal?? When he ist start up the working tempo looks normal but for this machine he must go very fast arent it ??

What went wrong??

The networks eth0 and eth1 have i bond with 802.3ad, but when i test and disconnect a network card it is ok, but when i connect the card after i get a loopback on both devices??

Sorry for my bad englisch :)

Please help

are you sure? you configured as boot disk "ide0" but there is no ide0 in your config.

check the boot order via GUI. rest looks ok.

looks ok now, installing should just take a few minutes, a reboot about 20 seconds.

post the result of 'pveperf' (run this on the proxmox ve host).

looks also fine. so far I do not see why your box is so slow here.
 
try with one cpu (1 socket, 1 core).
 
Hello I have tried with 1cpu and 1core, now it starts in 1 min. Great better, but why is this??

Have you an idea with the networkcard (bonding)??

Thanks

Hi,
i think not that's the problem, but do you have HT enabled in the BIOS? Does the same happens without HyperThreading?

Udo

Hello, yes the same happens without HyperThreading!

Thanks

Hi, which version of win2003 ?

SP2 ? R2 SP2 ? SP1 ? 32 bit or 64 bit ?

If you boot fast with 1 cpu, this can be an acpi problem, depends of windows version, this can be buggy/slow.(mainly on 32bits windows)
