Enjawd Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi, Sorry, newbie question. I did search around but cant find a right answer. I've just create my first unraid using my old desktop. Its running on i7-6700 CPU with 32GB ram. I plan to create 2 VM. Windows 10 + Ubuntu. As for the core assign can i set both windows 10 and ubuntu to use the same core assignment? Ie. 1/5,2/6,3/7. Or i will need to use different core for different VM (Windows 10 = 1/5,2/6) (Ubuntu = 3/7) From thread i understand that i should leave 0/1 untouch as unraid will be using those core for optimal performance Anyone can help?

Squid Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yeah, VM cpu assignments can overlap no problems. Quote Link to comment

So i config my core allocation as 0/4 unassigned, and from 1/5,2/6,3/7 i assign on my Ubuntu and Windows 10. Edit: i notice when both ubuntu and windows 10 are using the same core assignment. Both OS becomes very laggy. Edited September 23, 2020 by Enjawd Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Don't give a VM more than is absolutely necessary. They will perform better if you give them a bare minimum, and allow the host to speed up their "motherboard" using as much CPU and memory as it can. Keep in mind that a VM is running on emulated hardware, the faster the host can emulate it, the better. Don't cripple the host that provides all the I/O. Quote Link to comment
