<div dir="ltr">Hi Everyone,<div><br></div><div>I am seeing very slow install of applications within a Windows 2008R2 VM that I built with 24Gbs of RAM (no users on it yet) and the Proxmox server is a DL160 G6 with Dual L5520 Xeon quad core CPUs. I don't see why this is acting so slow. I am looking for suggestions on how to make this work faster. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Below are my findings of IO stats and HDD specifications. I would like to know if there is any hope to this server. I am running Windows 2008 R2 in IDE0 and QCOW mode.</div><div><br></div><div><div><font color="#ff0000"><b>root@hp:~# iostat -xkd 2 (util shows over 97% below as a program is being installed)</b></font></div>
