[Xen-users] Ubuntu HVM installation is very slow
Hi Everyone,
I am trying my hands on xen under Solaris SXCE build 113. The machine has the following configuration:
2 Quad Core Xeon CPUs 16 GB RAM Solaris SXCE b113 4 disks - 2 mirrors x 2 stripes under ZFS
The problem is that xen HVM is very slow. I am using the following command to create an Ubuntu 9.0.4 test vm.
virt-install
-n test1 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 -f /vdatapool/data/test1.img -s 50 --vnc
--hvm --os-type=linux --location=/vsafepool/shared/Installs/Linux/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso
Based on some random bits found on google, i did hear it to be
slow, but did not expect it to be crawling slow. I am opening the UI
through a remote VNC connection.
Am I missing something here?
Can you guys point me in the right direction?
Regards, Dot.yet
