Hi all,

 

I am kind of new to use KVM for Windows VMs and run into some problems.

I used an English template for Windows Server 2022 and installed a VM
successfully via Cloudstack. Everything looks good and the NIC is working
Intel PRO 1000 emulation.

As far as I understand you need to install the VirtIO driver to get a better
performance from your VM. I downloaded the ISO from:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virt
io/virtio-win.iso

And installed them inside the Windows Sever VM successfully. But even after
a reboot of the VM it looks like it is still using the emulated Intel PRO
1000 NIC and also QEMU ATA drivers for disk access.

 

Did I miss something? Do I need to install anything on the KVM host, too?
Performance is very poor inside the Wind VM.

 

Thx for any help!

 

Regards,

Swen
