Hi,
Recently we're testing qemu-kvm to run a windows guest with database installed.
But kvm can't perform in random disk operations.
We're already using vhost_net, virtio drivers. LVM for guest storage
and virtio-blk-data-plane.
There are anything else that we can do to improve the performance?
We are using HammerDB to run our tests.
Here is the guest config:
