Setup a new hyperV core machine on a HP Proliant 380 8Gen. The Network on the VM’s ver very slow. If I copied a file to the HyperV core machine the speed was good. When copying the file to a VM running on that same core machine the speed was very bad. Below 10 MB/s. This was unaccpetable so I started to look for a solution. After a day of google and digging arround. I have found the following solution to work. I have done this on multiple Hyper Core machines and every one of them got an increase in speed.
Solution:
- Open regedit
- File -> Connect to network registry
-
- Insert your HyperV machine name
- Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VMSMP\Parameters
- Create a new DWORD value and name it BelowTenGigVmqEnabled and give it a value of 1 (10Gb owners need to create TenGigVmqEnabled)
- Reboot the HyperV machine
Now copy something to the new VM.. Notice the speed increase!.
Next trick.
If you have a legacy adpater installed on the VM. Make sure you change it if possible for a non Legacy adapter in the VM settings. The non legacy adapter has a advanced feature called Virtual Machine Queing. Make sure this is On. The speed should now increase to the max.
