I’m not sure if I can run that on Proxmox as it says “command not found”.
Side note, I wanted to give an update on yesterday’s power usage stuff. I left all VMs off overnight and the wattage was between 150 and 180 at that time.
The part that was fucking with me so bad yesterday was it went from idling at 230+ with VMs launched (still seems high) to idling at 300+ watts. Well, my bonehead self just realized that when I was dicking with my crontab commands for the EPP hint, I typed it wrong.
I entered:
echo "balance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
Where “balance” is not a valid option, so it was left at the last correct option that I wrote to it, which was “performance”.
It should be:
echo "balance_power" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
I fixed it and now it’s back down to 230 with one VM running, so I’m not stressing quite as much. I still think there is some tuning that I need to do, though. I’m going to get Windows put on a drive so it’s easier to tune and stress test.
