I seem to have run into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855640, because when I tried the fix/work-around at the end (comment 11), ethtool -K eth0 gro off, my download speed by speedtest went from undetectable to ~150Mb/s. However, it was not able to connect for the upload test, and so something may still be off. Non-virtual machines can do the upload test, so it's not just a

Dear Boyland, In collaboration with some of this mailing list users, I had put some effort in optimising the guest settings in function of a windows guest. The libvirt-gui doesn't include these options. You'll have to edit the XML in virsh. This was my conclusion on 15-03-2015 but I added the hugepages tip in this list today. As for networking, I only use or bridged or the default virtual

Hi Couple of questions around macvtap direct usage: 1) is the document here current? https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesDirect I have been able to get host to guest network traffic without any special configuration or switch since Fedora 28 when I first started using it. Using <forward mode=vepa> requires switch port mirroring, but just using <forward mode=bridge>

Hi, I want to use virsh to create a VM with the qemu parameter '-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=2048M,mem-path=/mnt/huge,share=on -numa node,memdev=mem'. How to write the XML file?

*facepalm* Now that I'm re-reading the documentation it's obvious that <page/> and @nodeset are for the guest, "This tells the hypervisor that the guest should have its memory allocated using hugepages instead of the normal native page size." Pretty clear there. Thank you SO much for the guidance, I'll return to my tweaking. I'll report back here with my results.

Hello All, I'm trying to enable hugepages, I've turned off THP (Transparent Huge Pages), and enabled hugepages in memoryBacking, and set my 2MB hugepages count via sysctl. I'm getting "libvirtd[5788]: Failed to autostart VM 'atlas': internal error: Unable to find any usable hugetlbfs mount for 16777216 KiB" where atlas is one of my guests and 16777216 KiB is the

As I mentioned, I got the instances to launch... but they're only taking HugePages from "Node 0", when I believe my setup should pull from both nodes.

Hi, I want to use this qemu command '-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=2048M,mem-path=/mnt/huge,share=on' with libvirt but i can't find the 'mem-path' and 'share' in the documentation. because the vhost-user backend based on 'share=on' parameter and libvirt support vhostuser i guess there maybe another way to support this parameter? this is my xml:

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

Hi, I've got two hosts. Most of my guests are Windows systems. I'm using LANBench to test network performance. 1) From an physical PC to a guest (it doesn't matter on which host), I get almost 1Gb/s. They are connected through a 1Gb/s swich => very good! 2) From a guest on one host to a guest on the other host => plusminus 1Gb/s => Okay! 3) Between two guests on the same

Yeah, Dominique, your wiki was one of the many docs I read through before/during/after starting down this primrose path... thanks for writing it. I'm an Arch user, and I couldn't find anything to indicate qemu, as its compiled for Arch, will look in /etc/default/qemu-kvm. And now that I've got the right page size, the instances are starting... The reason I want to use the page element

Hello, I am working on implementing SEV support in OpenStack. There are some questions that came up in the discussion of the spec [0] [0] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/641994/ As far as i understand, the memory for SEV machines need to be pinned so that it doesn't migrate to swap and page migration. ROMS, UEFI pflash and video RAM should be pinned too. Initially we planned to use
