This ran on a xeon E3-1226V3B, which operates at 3.3GHz. Its only 4 cores, so I guess you could say it's the server equivalent of an i5 cpu.
And I'm pretty sure it has 16GB of Crucial DDR3L-1600 ECC UDIMMS The host is a VM server, but also a raidz2 file server, etc. I don't usually run bsdrp in a vm. I use it mostly to test the speed of network cards. But also sometimes to test the routing speed of desktop CPUs that I have. All on actual hardware. -----Original Message----- From: Eliezer Croitoru [mailto:elie...@ngtech.co.il] Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 3:43 PM To: bsdrp-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bsdrp-users] Slow virtualized bsdrp boot. Well, while it might take long on both VM and real hardware I took the liberty to test it on my hyper-v host(since I know how much time it takes for FreeBSD to boot on it) and the BSDRP-1.56-full-amd64-vga.img.xz decompressed and converted to vhd takes a very long time to boot. I timed it to boot(compared to FreeBSD) 1:49.20 minutes (1 minute) to just move from the step of boot menu to "booting".(on the kvm it's the same) I have tested it until now on: - hyper-v host with 1 gb ram 1 nic and 1 core - kvm host with 2 gb ram 2 nics and 4 cores I have used freebsd 10.x from fedora virt-manager to a remote ubuntu kvm host. For now my lab is on kvm and I cannot test it on ESXi. My main comparison is to FreeBSD and not to linux or windows since BSDRP is based on it. I assume that a xeon class cpu with ecc memory 5 years old server should be enough to boot a vm faster then it is now unless there is some specific configuration to the kernel packaging. Just wondering on what hardware have you tried?
