unRAID 6.8.3 - Isolated CPU Core (HT) in use with stopped VM


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Looking at setting up a simple Windows 10 VM and wanting to allocate dedicated cores to the system for better performance. 

I've isolated the cores that I want the VM to use in CPU Pinning under CPU Isolation and done the restart as advised.

However, unRAID is still using these isolated cores when it shouldn't be touching them at all.

In fact, there's one HT that is being hammered at 100% pretty much most of the time even when the VM is no started. 

 

Looking at this a little closer, I've narrowed the culprit down to Emby. When this is powered on and in use by someone, the core will spike.

If I stop the docker, then I see no usage on these core at all. 

 

I've attached a diagnostic report. I'm not sure what I should be doing to diagnose the issue further. 

 

Any advice would be most welcomed. 

 

Thanks.
