Hello all,
I believe I am hitting a problem on one of our Windows 2003 KVM guests were I
believe it is running out of Entropy and causing SSL issues.
I see that there is a module called virtio-rng which I believe passes the HW
entropy source through to the guest but does this work on Windows as-well ?
AFAIK there is no Windows driver for virtio-rng. Seems like a good
idea. Vadim?
virtio-rng driver for windows is not a big deal. IMO, the real problem
will be to force Windows to use for CriptoApi.
What's the implication of it? good or bad?
Do you know what hyper-v is doing for it?
If it doesn't any ideas on how I can increase the amount of entropy being
generated on a headless system ? or even monitor entropy on a Windows system ?
No idea. Maybe you could ask Windows to collect entropy from packet
timings.
