New OpenVMS 9.2-2 VM running hot?

[julioo]

I was able to get a VM working with qemu on OpenVMS 9.2-2. I left the VM running doing nothing for about three hours. I noticed that the temperature in my physical machine went up 20 Celsius. I also saw the context switches double. I was very surprised by this. Is OpenVMS trying to hit the disk more that the linux VMs?

I have two other linux VMs on same box running graphana and zabbix.

Let me suggest you post the question directly in the VSI technical forum which is constantly monitored by VMS engineering :

I hope I am understanding your environment properly (using an emulator).

It is my experience, that, when running a VAX emulator, that each VAX processor utilizes 100% of the CPU. On my system, this represents one CORE on my CPU per VAX CPU being emulated. The is the load whether the VAX is actually idle or busy; there is no difference. If you are experiencing the same issue, you should be able to look at your CPU load and see these CPU cores running at 100%, which would explain the heat.

I hope that was helpful.

   I run mine on VMware Fusion (Mac), and I don't see this.

   Ask the OS on your physical machine?

   That would make more sense than asking about this in an HPE forum.
