Re: lan card
Re: lan card
From the HPVM4.1 release notes ( http://docs.hp.com/en/T2767-90191/ch07s02.html?btnNext=next%A0%BB ):
Calculating the Actual Utilization of the Virtual Network Card
The emulation of the virtual network I/O card is based on the Intel I8254X family. Thus, the virtual network card (vNIC) is presented to the guest operating system as PCI-X 1000Base-T with the speed of 1 Gb regardless of the physical network interface card backing the vswitch.
So regardless of what the pNIC actually is, the vNIC will always appear as a GbE interface - that doesn't mean its limited to 1Gb speeds though.
However I'd be surprised if you can drive a whole 10Gb of througput through a single vNIC without incurring a hefty CPU overhead for that virtual IO - presumably you will have many VM guests using this pNIC?

Re: lan card
Re: lan card
Are you choosing to ignore my reply cos you don't like the answer???
As I explained _all_ vNICs in a VM guest will _always_ be presented as 1000BaseT (GbE) cards _regardless_ of the actual physical NIC.
If you had an old fast ethernet (100BaseT) card on your VM host it would still show up as the same 1000BaseT card on your VM guest - it's a virtualised NIC - why would HP want to have half a dozen different drivers in the guest for all these different types and speeds of NIC? So we just use one driver and the VM uses virtual IO to emulate a 1000BaseT card.
As I said, this _does not_ mean you are limited to 1000Mb/s though - the vNIC will go as fast as the VM can handle.

Re: lan card
Re: lan card
Sorry, I didn't mean that.The performance of this NIC card on the HOST is much faster than on the VM. like 2-3 times faster than the VM
How to decide/calculate how fast the vNIC will go on the VM ...

Re: lan card
Re: lan card
The physical NIC is _always_ goin to be faster that the virtual NIC as its doing physical IO and the virtual NIC is doing virtual IO...
However at this stage we need to determine what you mean by "faster". How did you test this? What commands did you run to reach this conclusion? (ftp, scp rcp etc are normally not a good test of the speed of a NIC)
