Hi Guys,
Ryzen 7 1700X/1800X has a lot of horsepower and I am considering it for Home-Lab?
Has anyone tried ESX & KVM on Ryzen 7 1700X/1800X? or Running VMware workstation & Virtual box on Windows 10?
Also if someone share link or details of Virtualization feature supported by AMD Ryzen 7 and X370 Chipset? (AMD's equivalent technology for Intel's VTx - VTd (IOMMU) etc)
With Regards,
SB
Specs:
Ryzen 7 1800X
GA-AX370-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0)
2 AMD Radeon RX 480 Sapphire Nitro + OC in CrossfireX
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
I use Hyper-V as my virtualization platform, and my VMs are running flawlessly with Ryzen. I first flashed the BIOS to the most recent to F5d, enabled AMD SVM, or AMD-V, then I was able to hypervise my Windows 10 OS. I had to import my VMs from a system that were running Intel, and Hyper-V was smart enough to know that processors had changed, so it just completely shut down the VMs during the import instead of "resuming" from hibernation.
I take it you will run just fine with other virtualization platforms such as ESX or VMware Workstation. Just make sure your BIOS is up-to-date since every BIOS update right now is crucial for Ryzen.
