[OmniOS-discuss] KVM on a Intel E3-1220 V2

[Toan Hoang]

Hello,

I have to installed Windows 7 Pro (with virtio net and disk) on OmniOS on an Intel  E3-1220 V2 which claims to have 2nd generation VMX support (with EPT)

However, The guest dies from time to time and I see these errors in /var/adm/message:
Aug 25 22:55:47 test kvm: [ID 420667 kern.info] kvm_lapic_reset: vcpu=ffffff0929cfd000, id=0, base_msr= fee00100 PRIx64 base_address=fee00000

Another thing I observed is the eptv when running kvmstat (this is during guest bootup):
   pid vcpu |  exits :  haltx   irqx  irqwx    iox  mmiox |   irqs   emul   eptv
  6568    0 |  33088 :     67     60     42   3377      0 |    275    574  27487
  6568    0 |   3355 :     65      9      4    603      0 |     72     72   2286
  6568    0 |   3836 :     75      3     10    886      0 |    106    156   2255
  6568    0 |   7687 :     77      1      5    690      0 |     93    116   6511
  6568    0 |  16616 :     72      4      3  14493      0 |     85     93   1697
  6568    0 |  44634 :     43     80      7  12496      0 |    144    335  23079
  6568    0 |    960 :     68      4      1    514      0 |     75     83     60
  6568    0 |   1094 :     73      3      1    541      0 |     81     92    145
  6568    0 |   2025 :     75     39      1    915      0 |     98    115    348
  6568    0 |  50472 :    607     49     21  35868      0 |    696    815   4969

Isn't the unsual high numbers? All the examples I have seen, shows eptv == 0.

Anybody have these problems before?

Brgds,
