Hi all. Recently I noticed that the tomcat web server had log startup times when it runs inside a KVM linux machine. It seems that the problem resides in the fact that the /dev/random produce entropy very slowly. I have found two solutions of this problem: 1. Configure tomcat to use /dev/urandom 2. Use the virtio-rng paravirtual device (if it is implemented in the KVM port in SmartOS). <http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2015/03/09/red-hat-enterprise-linux-virtual-machines-access-to-random-numbers-made-easy/ <http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2015/03/09/red-hat-enterprise-linux-virtual-machines-access-to-random-numbers-made-easy/>> The first solution is quick and dirty. The second seems more robust but I need to configure a KVM machine with that paravirtual device. I had not found any documentation about that topic in the (SmartOS) wiki. Googling was not useful. Some one can give me at least some directions? Thanks in advance
