Hi, all:
I have an ovirt 4.0.5 environment. There is a 10g nic in the
host. I have created a vm which uses the 10g nic. The type of the nic is
virtio. Then I got a 1g virtual nic in the vm. Now I want a 10g virtual nic
in the vm. Is it possible? Anyone can help? Thanks!
Did you make any performance test to evaluate real performance?
What is the qemu-kvm command line generated by your oVirt?
I see in my 4.0.5 environment with 1Gb/snic/vnic, it is something like this:
-netdev tap,fd=24,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=28 -device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:1a:4a:16:01:58,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3
According to this link below, this syntax should give you 10Gb/s
performance.... I don't have a 10Gb/s to verify though at my side... ;-)
