mankey54 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Hi There, Looking for some assistance and advice. I've been using Unraid for almost 3 years now and had no issues with it. Untile recently been experiencing performance issues with my VMs. I have a Windows 10 VM setup. It has been running fine for some time (almost 3 years). The change I made to it is I've replaced one of the HDD in my array and since the replacement i've been experiencing issues with the VM's performance. At first I thought it might be aging hardware. my original Rig is a Core i7 4790k with 16GB Ram on Gigabyte z97x-SOC Force mobo. VMs are running on a Samsung 850 EVO SSD Cache Drive. So I migrated my entire build to new Hardware its now running on Ryzen AMD 3800x with 32 GB Ram on Gigabyte x570 gaming x. VMs and all cache data have been moved to a Samsung 970 EVO nvme cache drive. since the move the VMs are still experiencing the same performance issues. Please know that I run Dockers on both old and new setup they never had any issues. attached is my diagnostics file. Unraid Build: 6.7.2 Computer: Ryzen AMD 3800x 32 GB Ram Gigabye x570 gaming x Samsung 970 EVO 1TB nvme as cache drive Array: Parity: IronWolf 6TB Drives (3): 2 Toshiba X300 5TB, Seagate 4TB supergrid-diagnostics-20191018-1758.zip Edited October 18, 2019 by mankey54 added unraid version per instructions Quote Link to comment
dan91 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi, are you experiencing high CPU usage after disconnecting from RDP to the VM? If so its likely a problem due to the 1903 update in windows. See link below for a work around; https://borncity.com/win/2019/08/28/windows-10-v1903-rdp-dwm-exe-causes-high-cpu-load-freezes-vms/ If thats not the issue then ignore this post. I had this issue with 3 of my VM's so just making people aware! Quote Link to comment
mankey54 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks Dan for the follow-up. actually I think i found why im experiencing this issue. I built a new Win10 VM using ovmf (my past vms were seabios). Recreating my vms fixed my high cpu problems. I guess I have to really rebuild my vms when transitioning to new hardware. my original issue still not resolved but I've moved past it. as to the item you mention, with my new Win10 VM it did get updated to 1903 and I use RDP to connect to it. when I did this I see exactly that. Im gonna read through to see if it fixes the problem. Thanks again for the share. Quote Link to comment
