Digital Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Hello all I come here because I can't solved my problem. I had create a win10 vm with my Unraid 6.8.1 however, I have a big problem with my network speed. I feel like Unraid is limiting my speed on my vm. But I would like to specifiy that my driver on my VM are installed with the default windows virtio driver ISO (virtio-win-0.1.160-1) and the driver for the ethernet is redhat bla bla but normally my ethernet network is Intel so maybe the problem is present for that reason? I already try to delete my parity and today I use the win10 vm on SSD and a share on NVME. Here my configuration: Quote Model: Custom M/B: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING Version Rev X.0x - s/n: 190755062801345 BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. Version 1405.

argonaut Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You could try a speed test outside of your VM. If performance is slow in Unraid it might point to a different issue. ISPs often manipulate WAN performance when they detect a speed test connecting to speedtest.net. There are many alternatives such as: https://testmy.net/ https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli is a CLI speed test tool you should be able to run from the Unraid CLI. Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hello, Thank you for your feedback, I already try a test performance with other machine and the speed is ok. Also, I tried a speedtest on windows 10 OS before to install unraid on my physical device. I wiil try to CLI speedtest and I come back with the result Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Ok, how about general network performance? How is it copying a file from a machine on the network to the Unraid server? Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) @jonp yes I had already copy all iso from my NAS to Unraid and the speed was good. The network works in 1GB/S Edited January 22, 2020 by Digital Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 I just took a test in CLI: Quote Testing download speed... Download: 27.82 Mbyte/s Testing upload speed... Upload: 2.91 Mbyte/s Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That is going to make the issue very difficult to diagnose. Network traffic to the server is network traffic to the server, regardless if that's over a WAN or LAN. Internet speed is limited by your router/ISP, not Unraid OS. Perhaps something configured on your router, firewall, or switch may be doing this? Any QoS policies in place? How sophisticated is your network? Are you using a rented router/modem or do you provide your own? What about using other speedtest sites for testing? Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 For our network we have only a Fortinet and our unraid server is present on the same vlan with other servers. This server had work with win10 server and the speedtest was good and with WIN10 vm on unraid the speedtest is not the same (same physical device and network). the uplaod with this VM works correctly but the download is limited (only with the VM).

jonp Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't doubt the results your getting, but we can't recreate the issue here on our equipment and I would imagine we'd be hearing about this issue from a lot more folks if it was a software bug. Another thing you can try is updating the virtio drivers. We haven't updated the list that propagates inside of Unraid yet, but the latest VirtIO driver release is here: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.173-4/virtio-win-0.1.173.iso Try updating the virtual network driver in the VM using this ISO and see if that improves things. If not, I can give you a few other things to try and narrow this down. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 In addition to the suggestion of @jonp, you need to update the network driver in Windows itself after installing the new iso image. Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hello Craftsman, Yes it's a good point for that I used my E: Drive on the VM and install automatically. So now I have Red Hat VirtIO but normally I have an Intel card and I can't install this one because nothing card is visible on my VM ... Do you have an idea? Thank you for your support.

bonienl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It is normal to see the VirtIO ethernet adapter instead of the Intel adapter, this is due to the virtualization. Right-click on the VirtIO adapter, choose "Update driver" and "Browse my computer", select the location "E:\" + include subfolders, and it should then update the network driver to the latest version of 0.1.173 Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes it's already done when I had create the VM. But I can try again: The first I had selected the E Drive and the subfolders. And after I receive the pilote is already up to date: Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 My ethernet on my motherboard is Intel® I211-AT Gigabit LAN Quote Link to comment

Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) It's already the last no? Edited January 23, 2020 by Digital Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 VM settings do not automatically change. Below my settings (your file location maybe different). Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes sorry I updated the img on my last post. But The last on my unraid is 160 and not 173 🤣 and I don't see an element to update this one Quote Link to comment

Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 ok ok but the last is 160 for my part: Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 You are looking at the general settings, but you need to change the settings of the VM itself. To be able to use version 0.1.173 you must have stored the image file in the "isos" folder, and then select it in the VM settings. Quote Link to comment
Digital Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Han ok and can I download the VirtIO on this link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/ ? Quote Link to comment

Yes, or use this link (easier) https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-windows-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers/index.html#virtio-win-direct-downloads and choose "latest virtio-win iso" Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 You're overcomplicating this. Just download the ISO from your Windows VM. Double-click the ISO and it will mount it as a drive letter. Right-click on the VirtIO Ethernet controller in device manager, update drivers, then browse to the drive letter of the ISO and let it search. Quote Link to comment
