Info about windows guest performance
Hello, while in my activities to accomplish migration of a Windows 2008 R2 VM (with an Oracle RDBMS inside) from vSphere to oVirt, I'm going to check performance related things. Up to now I only ran Windows guests inside my laptops and not inside an oVirt infrastructure. Now I successfully migrated this kind of VM to oVirt 4.1.9. The guest had an LSI logic sas controller. Inside the oVirt host that I used as proxy (for VMware virt-v2v) I initially didn't have the virtio-win rpm. I presume that has been for this reason that the oVirt guest has been configured with IDE disks... Can you confirm? For this test I started with ide, then added a virtio-scsi disk and then changed also the boot disk to virtio-scsi and all now goes well, with also ovirt-guest-tools-iso-4.1-3 provided iso used to install qxl and so on... So far so good. I found this bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1277353 where it seems that " For optimum I/O performance it's critical to make sure that Windows guests use the Hyper-V reference counter feature. QEMU command line should include -cpu ...,hv_time and -no-hpet " Analyzing my command line I see the "-no-hpet" but I dont see the "hv_time" See below full comand. Any hints?

What OS type do you have set for that VM? Make sure it matches the Windows version. That enables the hyperv enlightenments settings
Thanks, michal

Thanks for the info. In the mean time after installing virtio-win on proxy host I retried with the same version of virt-v2v provided with 4.1.9: virt-v2v-1.36.3-6.el7_4.3.x86_64 and then selecting and injecting it in the import window and the VM correctly starts with virtio drivers (version 61.74.104.14100) after a reboot requested (first starts remains in black window for a couple of minutes and then asks to restart) It also has qxl drivers (6.1.0.1024) But the VM remains as "Other OS" and obviously has no hv_ optimization. I'm going to try the new version as you suggested. It would be nice also to have virtio-scsi option and not only the virtio option directly in import function.... BTW: I see that in case a target VM with the same name of source exists, I'm given an error and I can't change the VM name on destination.... This seems to me a big limitation, because forces to rename the source VM or rename a pre-existing VM at destination with the same name....
