Devices freeze in eve-ng

Post by Uzair » Wed Jul 08, 2020 5:16 am

Hello,

I am using eve-ng community edition on a 24c/128gb/1tb hdd 10K SAS server and running EVE on Ubuntu 16 desktop LTS. After every few mins, the devices in EVE freeze for a few seconds which is really annoying now. My machine never freezes, other tasks outside of EVE VM works fine, only the devices such as vIOS, vEdge etc freeze for few seconds.

I have assigned 16c/64gb/350gb hdd to the EVE VM. During the freeze, I noticed high processor utilization but other programs work fine, it's just the devices that freeze for a few seconds.

On the other hand, I have EVE on my windows 10 laptop, with is i5/32gb/1tb SSD and no device freeze issue. The only difference is my laptop uses SSD while server uses HDD 10K SAS.

Is it the HDD that causes such issue?

Please help/advise.


Thanks,
