We have found that virtio is faster/more stable than emulating other
|
|
|
|
|
cards on our VMs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To switch a VM to virtio:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remove from DNS if it's a proxy
|
|
|
|
|
* Log into the vm and shut it down
|

|
|
|
* Log into the virthost that the VM is on, and
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo virsh edit <VM FQDN>`
|

|
|
|
* Add this line to the appropriate bridge interface(s):
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
<model type='virtio'/>
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
* Save/quit the editor
|

|
|
|
* `sudo virsh start <VM FQDN>`
|

|
|
|
* Re-add to DNS if it's a proxy
