Hi, since yesterday I have a weird problem. I cannot display VirtualBox _guest_ consoles remotely anymore (the GUI for configuration works). It worked two weeks ago and I am not aware of any changes. I am running Virtualbox headless on a server but use the GUI for installs when needed. I forwar

VirtualBox performance

Hi all, I am running VirtualBox on a new server (a Dell T620). Inside is Oracle Linux. I run a Java app and it is very slow to start. Memory should not be an issue. I have 32 GB and 8 GB for the VM. The server has 2 Xeon CPUs with 4 core each (hypertthreated so VBox sees 16 CPUs). I do no

Virtualbx and CPU counting

Hi, I have a question: I have a server with - 2 Xeon E5-2609, - 4 cores each - 4 threads per core On OS level, Linux and FreeBSD see 8 processors. VirtualBox offers 16 CPUs as the maximal number for a VM. I expected 32. How does this work? Regards Peter _

Re: Virtualbox and CPU counting

P.S. More precisly, I expected VirtualBOx to see 8 or 32 CPUs. In the past it was virtual CPU= "real" thread number, if I remember correctly. How many you give to a VM is a different matter. Regards Peter On Mon, 2 Feb 2015, Peter Ross wrote: Hi, I have a question: I have a s
