August 19, 20187 yr Update: moving the emulator off core 0 seems to have fixed my audio lag in youtube and the plex web app - excellent!
August 26, 20187 yr I'm hoping someone can assist me with this issue. I've pinned a VM to 6 (logical) cores, but only 3 cores appear to be actively used. How would I go about fixing this? CPU is: E5-2670 Edited August 26, 20187 yr by RParkerMU changed to logical cores

August 26, 20187 yr post the xml of your VM also run msconfig;boot;advanced options to see if its using the correct amount of cores in Windows. Edited August 26, 20187 yr by david279
August 26, 20187 yr Below is a copy of my XML. It doesn't appear as if Windows is seeing the other cores. The attached screenshot is from task manager on the VM, which shows 3 virtual CPUs and no logical cores.

Declaring a topology doesn't matter in a windows vm environment. it uses all assigned cores the same.
August 27, 20187 yr Your xml only list cpus 11,4,13. So its only gonna use those cpus. You need to add 3,5 and 12.

I guess the real question is, what is the layout of the CPU/Threads for 1-16? Did you ever find any info on this? I find my VMs are a bit "buggy" (best way I can think to describe it). I have a TR1950x and assign 8/16 to a Windows VM leaving the 1st 8/16 to unRAID and the dockers. But still can find my VM experience isn't perfect. I wonder if the Ryzen family CCX mapping or core numbering isn't quite the same as the default for Intel systems..... (or maybe I have some other issue I have yet to spot!)

I wonder if the Ryzen family CCX mapping or core numbering isn't quite the same as the default for Intel systems..... (or maybe I have some other issue I have yet to spot!) I was wondering that same thing. I have spun up a few more machines on my 1920x and ever since I have added an extra machine for game hosting, my IO seems slower and every once in a while, some machines will fail installs complaining about writing to the vhdx file that contains my steam libraries. I have only pinned CPUs to the 5 VMs that I have running, and not done any isolation or docker pinning. I am only running one docker right now for steamcache bundle. What is recommended for our threadrippers? Should I have isolation on for the first 2 cores/4ht?
November 13, 20187 yr Isolating cores is to prevent unraid to use them for backround tasks or for docker. So for best performance in a VM you have to isolate the cores you wanna pin to your VM. Keep in mind core 0 is always used by unraid and you can't isolate this one. Also keep in mind always isolate the core + its HT. In my case i have a 1950x. 2 dies each with 8cores. I isolated all 8 cores from the second die which I use for my main Win10 VM. The rest of the cores are used by Unraid, Docker and some VMs i use from time to time.
November 23, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, jordanmw said: So, should they be pinned- or isolated, or both for my gaming VMs? They're both complimentary. To prevent unRaid from touching a core that's pinned to a VM, you isolate that core.

It is driving me crazy, even tried to enable/disable Hyper-V. label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append isolcpus=4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31 pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction initrd=/bzroot <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm' id='2'> <name>Windows 10 Maxi</name> <uuid>577ec135-5ff4-b3eb-c804-e50aa20c1506</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="windows.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>8</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='20'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='5'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='21'/> <vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='6'/> <vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='22'/> <vcpupin vcpu='6' cpuset='7'/> <vcpupin vcpu='7' cpuset='23'/> <emulatorpin cpuset='8-9,24-25'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-3.0'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/577ec135-5ff4-b3eb-c804-e50aa20c1506_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vendor_id state='on' value='none'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source dev='/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Crucial_CT500MX200SSD1_162212D41B36'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci' ports='15'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='sata0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:30:e0:8f'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-2-Windows 10 Maxi/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='connected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input1'/> </input> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+100</label> <imagelabel>+0:+100</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain> Appreciate all help. Have you applied the MSI fix? Also, what does Latency Monitor tell you? I'm working on fixing the micro stutters as well, but my problem appeared a couple of months after the Windows 10 VM was working flawlessly.
January 8, 20197 yr @administrator recheck the msi fix after each Windows and Nvidia update. It happened twice for me now that the patched settings disappeared and i had to reapply them.

April 6, 20197 yr I've watched @SpaceInvaderOne's Youtube videos (thanks btw) for installing a Windows 10 VM and I don't see the multi-tick boxes for the 'Logical CPUs'. What am I doing wrong? - The VM is for an Office/gaming machine. - I will another 8GB Windows 10 VM after to test software at a later date. Screenshot below/attached: Thank you for your help
April 6, 20197 yr 8 hours ago, Rick Sanchez said: multi-tick boxes Not exactly sure what you mean by that? Most video are done with an older Unraid version. The UI slightly changed over time. You have a 4 core 8 thread CPU. Cores 0-3 are the main cores and the other 4 are the logical cores/hyperthreads. If you select a specific core for a VM it's adviced to also select the HT core. CPU 0/4 is the first core pair (always used by Unraid itself), CPU 1/5 is the second pair and so on. In the example below you can see I've given core pair 5 (cpu 4/20) and 6 (cpu 5/21) to a VM. In this case CPU 4 and 5 are the physical cores, 20 and 21 the logical cores.
April 6, 20197 yr As shown earlier to someone else, you need to click on a few more places. In particular on the right hand side of your core 2/6, and core 1/5 and core 3/7 columns.
