My create script for guests

Is my Server to slow for runnning 2 Clients ?

 

Normally this should be no problem. Did you take a look at

Code:

top

on the host to find out what's eating up your resources?

 

Hi all

I have the same problem,
The CPU is always at 100%
and CPU is very slow ....

Here is how I setup a VM :

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=nom_systeme.qcow2 bs=1024 count=5000000

virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n wiki -r 512 --vcpus=2 -f VM01.qcow2 -s 12 -c /path_iso/mini.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm

How can I have better CPU performance ?
For information the CPU, is an AMD64 and allow virtualization.

Thanks for your help

Regards

 

Whats Distribution, do you use

 

for the hypervisor : Ubuntu Server
Linux 2.6.35-28-server #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:59:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

for the guest : Ubuntu 10-10
Linux 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 14:39:03 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

Can you testing on the same Maschine with an other Distribution likes Centos or Fedora. I have Yesterdays the Problem with Debian Etch and have see with an other Distribution I havent the Problem and I have solve the Problem with an Installation of Debian Squeeze. Check the Version of your livirt and Kvm Software.

 

Well

I tryed CentOS for the guest
But it doesn't change a lot of things ...


If I have to re-install the hypervisor, I think, I will try with Proxmox..

But if someone have an idea for this CPU performance, it will be great.

 

Its not the Problem of the Guest System, The Host System I think .
