@apz No, I have not done any such customizations.
@olivierlambert Tried with tsc clock, same result. rngd started to eat 50-100% of cpu right after started it,
However I just tested how Oracle runs if the rngd service is stopped....and looks like no problems.
So the solution seems to be just stop and disable the rngd service and everything works the same they did in bare bone hardware!
Thanks to everyone who helped with this!
@danp Looks like the template is indeed "Other install media". Thanks for pointing a way to see this.
I just noticed that there is also template for Oracle Linux. Do you know what's the difference between those two templates?
I do not see any settings in XO advanced tab which could affect this random number generation.
@danp RNGD service (not mgd) is strandard linux service to provice random number entropy.
It was created from scratch - but I am not sure now which template I did choose. It could have been other install media. Not sure now, sorry. Is there a way to see which template was used?
And yes, guest tools are installed.
We moved one of our Oracle database servers from bare bones hardware to Xcp-Ng 8.1 and now the rngd service in VM eats constantly 50-100% of cpu. The VM is Oracle Linux 8.3
Doesn't Xcp-ng support virtualized hardware entropy?
Any ideas what I could do to solve this? It seems to slow down the Oracle inserts quite a lot (using guid as primary key in some tables).
