[libvirt-users] Processor usage of qemu process.
I have been using libvirt for a while now with some linux guest installed. And everything has been working great. I've got a nice new (used) HP virtual host with 12 x dual core and 48Gb mem. My Windows servers are getting old, so I found it was time to take the next step and also virtualise my Windows systems. Now I've got two Windows guests on my new host: - A Windows 8.1 which runs a Autodesk Job Processor - A Windows Server 2012 R2 which runs a Pervasive SQL, Autodesk Vault Server (MSSQL, IIS), Autodesk license server,... The first is constanly using 30% host-CPU and the second one is using 50% host-CPU. Both guests are using <5% guest CPU... (Host system load is between 0.1 and 0.3...) Is it normal Windows guests take up 30% to 50% host CPU resources? The Windows 8.1 is actualy a simpel PC with almost no activity...

Re: [libvirt-users] Processor usage of qemu process.
I found a fix for the Windows 8.1 guest by changing the xml like: <model type='vmvga' vram='1048576' heads='1'/> Instead of <model type='vga' vram='1048576' heads='1'/> If someone knows a fix for the Windows Server 2015 R2 guest, I would appreciate it... -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Dominique Ramaekers Verzonden: donderdag 12 maart 2015 19:17 Aan: libvirt-users@redhat.com Onderwerp: Processor usage of qemu process.

If would be helpful if you showed the XML config file for your guests, so we can
see what hardware you've configured. Hardware choices can make a big
difference to guest performance.
