[Qemu-devel] Windows Server 2008 R2 network freezes after some time

[Gediminas Jančys]

Hello guys, 

I have a problem and desperate with it, can't find a solution for it. I got
Windows Server 2008 R2 guest OS on CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) with
libvirt and CloudStack. Problem is that after some time, about 2- 3 days
(should be based on amount of traffic) VM's network got stuck. No traffic in
or out. After restart network works fine until gets stuck again.  I'm
current using VirtIO drivers on guest version 61.74.104.14100. Also I have
tried to use older drivers but same situation. From host and guest logs I
can't see any entries about drivers or something related to this problem,
only casual stuff. Can you help me or guide to find the problems source?
After my investigation I would say that drivers are failing at some point.

 

Libvirts info:

Using library: libvirt 2.0.0

Using API: QEMU 2.0.0

Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.6.0
