Re: [CentOS-virt] Nested KVM issue

More details on the subject: I suppose it is a nested KVM issue because it raised after I enabled the nested KVM feature. Without it, anyway, the second level VMs are unusable in terms of performance. I am using CentOS 7 with: kernel: 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm:1.5.3-105.el7_2.4 libvirt

Reports posted look good for me. Config should provide the best available performance for cloud VM (L2) on Compute Node. 1. Please, remind me what goes wrong from your standpoint ? 2. Which CPU is installed on Compute Node && how much RAM ? Actually , my concern is :- Number_

Hello Borins, 1. So, in about three days after a reboot (this happened several times already) the compute node reports high CPU usage. It has 36 vCPUs and it reports a load higher than 40. Usually the load is about 2 or 3. The VMs qemu-kvm processes reports 100% CPU usage (for a VM with 4 CPU it r

I would attempt to decrease number of VCPUS allocated to cloud VMs. Say try 4 => 2 . My guess there is not enough VCPUs to run OS itself. I also guess CPU model << Haswell. Please , confirm ( or not) if possible. Since Haswell was launched via my experience Intel Xeons based on this kernel (o

The CPUs are IvyBridge microarchitecture, Xeon E5-2670 v2. I could try lowering the vCPUs but I doubt it would help. Please note that the same VMs are running just fine (with a load of 2 out of an acceptable 36 on the compute node) for about 3 days after a restart. În lun., 15 aug. 2016 la 08:42,
