@JaredBusch True. Never thought of it that way.... I do it that way on my Fedora boxes and never really worried about it.

You shouldn't. It's an emulated interface that is unable to take advantage of all the modern virtualization advances for the past 20-ish years.
So what should one use? On VMware and Proxmox?

VMWare, VMXNet3 is the modern interface that you should be using almost exclusively. The VirtIO interface in ProxMox I think is the most recent one.

@coliver The hosts are HP DL380 G9 (identical specs) and I don't foresee any issues. They have been running for about 5 years now.
We're running G8s and they aren't, I know the G9s are.

The PV driver, whatever that is for your platform. E1000 is the fallback non-paravirtualized driver for emergency compatibility needs only.

Awww... so now you take the blame for setting the house on fire?

For the last 3 weeks, I've had multiple days there were literally 4 hours meetings, break for lunch, followed by another 4 hour meeting...
If anybody ever recommends an Ivanti product to you, run.... far, far away.

Had fun issues the last week... My internet goes down so I call the cable guy. he's out checking his lines and gets zapped while checking his cable. He does some digging and it turns out that the ground line they use (connects between power meter and their cable box) was carrying so much voltage that it actually melted the connector for my internet connection!
So the cable guy (of course) blames something in the house or the power meter for the issue and disconnects the ground line. Not 5 minutes after he leaves, the power all over my house goes absolutely berserk. Lights are dim, but if I run the Microwave they get super bright, blew 3 light bulbs in one room... just craziness.
So I call my electrician (my Pops) and he comes up does some testing. Turns out there's nearly 80 volts on that ground line (that's now not hooked to anything!). So we check inside the house. There's usually two legs of power that come into the house... Each of them should be 110V at the fuse box / circuit breaker. I was getting 110V on one side,and 80V on the other.
Called the Power Company and they showed up literally 3 hours later and hooked up a line conditioner to the house. Turns out they have to pull a new power line to the house because the one currently powering us is old and has "developed issues".
So now with the line conditioner in place, all the gremlins are gone... for now.
