Hi Doug, i've moved to MMLEM.OS2 AN driver (1.1.3), but i'm still seeing poor datarates 4,7-6MegaBytes/sec laptop -> AOS 503 VM (the VM is hosted on a intel xeon 8 cores supermicro server) massimo more tests: virtual-nic: AMD 1core 2,5MB/sec virtual-nic: AMD 2core 3,5MB/sec virtual-nic: MML 2core 4,5MB/sec with MMLEM is syrely better but very far for a VM that has his storage on SSD and connected with Intel Gigabit NICs any help? Well, the AMD device is 100 Mbs, while the Intel device is 1000 Mbs, so you can't compare them. Since NICs work at a limited speed (very much slower than any modern disk drive, even at 1000 Mbs), I don't know why you are seeing those numbers. My guess is that you do not have a good setup. we have see allmost all parameters... You also need to remember to mark virtual disk drives as being SSD, in the VM, or VBox will insert seek delays. It doesn't matter what the real disk is. already set SSD on all VMs moving a 6GB file from a partition to another (all JFS) inside the same guest VM i get >100MegaBytes/sec (also 120MB/sec) so it's not a disk datarate issue thanks i've tried an old eCS2.2b guest on VMware hypervisor ESX 6.5 running on the same hardware i get about 20MegaBytes/sec ftp datarates... same eCS 2.2b on vbox i get 4,5MegaBytes/sec ftp datarates... (not talking that with Vbox i can't autostart VMs at boot) There is a way, but I don't remember how. I am sure it is in the docs somewhere. there is a way under linux as host i'm running WS2019 with i'm much more comfortable anyway i've found a way to start the 2 VMs at Win logon which is sufficient for me at the moment there is also a software that runs VMs as services but it cost 49$ https://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/Install.html i've already bought the software that do live bkups... anyway i will mind if buy it there is also this software: https://github.com/onlyfang/VBoxVmService that's free, but it has issues (it don't work at all, sigh) if i find a free sw for live bkups of VMs under ESX i will go with ESX has hypervisor massimo From the little that I know about ESX, it does not virtualize a machine. It shares a real machine with more than one operating system. If it works, use it. i still have to find how to schedule bkups how to add notifications i've found "GhettoVCB"* that's free runs under ESX free hypervisor and do live bkups (i mean bkups without turning off the VMs) but i still have to find a way to schedule it e.g. one time per night... and it uses NFS as protocol that i don't like so much anyway i also have a Qnap nap that use NFS so i could use it as storage for bkups... * https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 I still think you have a bad setup in VBox, but I don't have the time to try to figure it out. the CPU is a xeon 8cores but clocked at 2Ghz, i guess that Vbox is very "clock/frequency" oriented, the much higher is the clock, the faster are performances this is my tought at the moment as far from my tests, MS free Hyper-V is way the faster hypervisor around but unfortunately eCS/AOS don't run under it :( this one does everything, live bkups, live replica and comes with a number of interesting features > there was a post, some time ago, in this mail > list, about how to make a modern VBox setup for OS/2 (probably > eCS at the time) i'm subscribed since 3th jan 2020 :( massimo
