Hello Everyone,
The mystery regarding the performance (VMware Vs KVM) is uncovered. Seems
like the VMware is not pinning the CPUs properly and using extra MHz CPU to
go faster. If I set an upper limit on the MHz usage on the VMware. I get
the same performance as KVM. Thanks a lot for your time.
Thank you,
Rav ya

ok will try on our env with passthrough, could you please send how
you
passthrough the cpu? simply over the ovirt gui?
