Alert - the virtual machine CPU usage

A virtual computer that is running Windows 2000 reports almost every day an alert on "use of the processor of the virtual machine.

According to my knowledge, add a CPU to a Windows 2000 Server is not easy as with recent versions of Windows, is correct?

The 5.0 ESXi host is not CPU ovrloaded, so I don't think that adding a CPU reservation can change anything...

So, what is the best way to solve the problem with the minimum impact on the VM guwest?

Hello

because they describe your problem, read the following article:

http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1077

and if you still want to add a vCPU, read this MS KB article:

  • The virtual machine CPU is running high

    I have a few virtual machines that use clients running very high on the CPU. Virtual machines are in a resource pool that has 200 000 mhz allocated with expandable reservation. Is it possible to give these machines more CPU cycles?

    It doesn't sound like you are running in contention in this pool - if you have limits on the RP move them - one vCPU only working with unique pool - so if your base speed is 2950 and you use all cycles of the only way is to add an another vCPU

  • VMW Virtual Machine CPU Utilization - script

    Hello team,

    As you know the virtual machine CPU usage will check for crampons, drops drama or sustained high levels in the use of the CPU on a virtual machine.

    But I'm looking Foglight to trigger alert when it reaches more than 95%, I want that all alerts to change radically.

    Here's the script available right know.

    could someone let me know how?

    history = #utilization of $scope.hostCPUs for 90 min #;

    average = avg (history);

    STD = stddev (history);

    If (mean.isNaN (): std.isNaN ()) return false;

    If (Max (History)< 0.5="" *="">

    Returns false;

    If ((#utilization de $scope.hostCPUs # > (moyenne + Registre ("VMW:cpu.)))) ((STDev.warning') * std)) | (#utilization of $scope.hostCPUs #)< (mean="" -="" registry("vmw:cpu.stdev.warning")="">

    || (#utilization of $scope.hostCPUs # > registry ("VMW:virtualMachineCPU.warning")))

    )

    Returns true;

    on the other

    Returns false;

    Thank you

    Hi Vivek,

    You could disable this rule of origin and create a new one with this condition:

    If (#utilization of $scope.hostCPUs # > registry ("VMW:virtualMachineCPU.critical")))

    Returns true;
    on the other
    Returns false;

    Let me know if it works,

  • ESXi and virtual machine CPU cores

    The question I would ask is the ESXi processor cores and relationship of the virtual machine CPU. Is it recommended to assign some carrots to VM (this is assuming that the VM needs CPU extra for reasons of performance)? We will use the following example. If the host ESXi lies the VM has 40 cores of the processor is recommended to assign carrots in 2, 4, 8 format to the virtual machine? And that's okay assign 6 since 40 is not divisible by 6.

    jrmunday: when it comes to carrots vs sockets, they are there for purpioses licenses, other than one vcpu is a vcpu

    soda: each kernel is a vcpu, so you should not worry of the underlying hardware and the divisibbility... It is not a mathematical formula to be used on the basis of underlying archatecture. the only reason underlying archatecutre would be important is VCA differences, not the underlying differences.

  • alert filtering for the Virtual Machine in emailFilter.xml

    I'm trying to filter for alerts from the Virtual Machine to the user interface in the emailFilter.xml.

    Ideally I would like to filter by other measures such as the ready % CPU or the CPU usage or some other metrics, but in the meantime just try to isolate the Virtual Machine.

    < condition >

    < condition type = "ResourceKind" > VMware adapter: Virtual Machine < / condition >

    < / conditions >

    I tried a few different combinations of the above, but no luck.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    not quite sure I understand what you try to do

    Edit:

    But I have the kind of resource would be 'VirtualMachine' (without a space), and there is no tag 'typical'.

    Look at him ' consolidated-alert - definitions.xml' for example, formatting must be exactly as specified.

    I read it twice
    Look here - https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcops-57-custom-ui-admin-guide.pdf page 82.

    resource type must be VMWARE:VirtualMachine


    I'm not sure that you will be able to filter by attribute however (such as the CPU usage)

  • Limitation of the Virtual Machine's CPU/memory resources.

    Hello

    My question on the tab "resources" with VMachine settings (I hope I picked the right branch here)

    In this tab I put a booking/Limit for CPU/memory for current VMachine.

    I have a cluster about 6 ESX servers with resource by default and a VMachine inside pool. VMachine have 1 CPU. Each ESX have 2 plugs with 4 core per socket. Each base equal to 2, 83GHz. Def.

    In this case, which by default configuration for an average CPU for this VMachine limitaion - 132582 MHz? Because in practice ESX server can give only 1 CPU for this VMachine and this CPU will have 2, 83GHz only...

    Also, I put 100% of CPU - 132582 MHz booking here... But in true VMachine will never receive this resource...

    Same question about limitation of memory...

    When this limitation will work? For what porpose such booking/limitaion here?

    Re: But, if I'm going to make a mistake and this CPU for VM value reserve, which is more physical limitation - it reduces resources processor for other VMs on a value that is more than the physical limitation of the virtual computer?

    No, the reservation only guarantees that if a virtual machine wants to take a large part of the resource at a given time VMware should give him.  If there is ever going to be a situation where the virtual machine is in fact to consider that much so it never gets allocated to this virtual machine and the amount of the resource remains available for other virtual machines to use.  Similarly, if the virtual machine just does not use the amount of the booking to a point in time, he let this resource can be used by other virtual machines.

    If a virtual computer uses only 1 GHz on a core 3 GHz system, at a given time but thereservation is 2.5 GHz, 1.5 GHz between its use and booking that is not used at this time is available for other VMS to use.  That is only if there is a period of contention between VM and VM CPU wishing to use mean 2.8 GHz it would be guaranteed to get 2.5 GHz independently of the parameters of the actions on the VM from other virtual machines.

    It is essentially the same thing with memory except that the memory usage is not as CPU flunctuate and VMware must also use more complex methods to reallocate the memory, but the leaders of the way in which it is shared using actions, reservations and limit is the same.

  • Error! The CPU was displayed by the operating system of Fords. Power off or reset the virtual machine

    Why when I try install Mac Os Yosemite in VMwareplayer when the virtual machine starts, I get this error:

    The CPU was displayed by the operating system of Fords. Power off or reset the virtual machine

    I have an AMD A10 processor

    VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine can be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X, and for that, you need VMware Fusion not VMware Player/Workstation (or use ESX/ESXi on Apple brand hardware) you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

  • Help. The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine. WHY?

    Greetings.

    I have a 5.5 with an operating system Red Hat 5.10 ESXi environment. The OS worked fine until a few days ago. ESXi displays the error "the CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine. I Don t know why my server displays the error if my environment was OK. Could be a kernel problem? operating system problem?

    Ideas?

    Thanks for the help.

    Have a look here. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2000542

    Did you recently patch your VM? Looks like when the guest operating system runs the incorrect commands that it can have a deactivated processor.

  • Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

    Hello.

    I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

    I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the community,

    Booking of resources being completely transparent for the customer, i.e. a host function, there is no need to turn off the virtual machines. Basically all settings in are available to be changed in the editable GUI generally without interruption of service comments.

  • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

    I see that this error was mailed here, but can't seem to find a position with a resolution.

    We use Lab Manager 4.0.4 and just upgraded the hosts in our laboratory.  Before updating to ESXi 4.1 ESX 4.0 u1, we cancelled all VMs in all configurations.  There is none who were suspended, they were all turned off.  We have improved vcenter 4.0 to 4.1 as well.  We moved from a dell poweredge 1950 with two quad core intel L5410 to a r610 with two quad core intel processor E5506.

    When I try to turn on some of the lab configurations (our VM models all work fine), I get this error:

    • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

    I threw the State for the lab configuration (even if it was turned off and cancelled) and still get this message.  I guess the processor architecture of these chips is quite similar, and both are Intel.

    If I go into this directory of Manager of laboratory inside the data store for one of these virtual machines that does not light and add to the inventory, he turned and starts fine on my server esxi 4.1.  So how do Lab Manager to get account it's well deploy and start it?

    Hey billk.

    Although not supported completely, you can solve it by going to the SQL of Lab Manager database.  Make sure that you back up your database before you do anything like that.

    Open the table "fsdir" and corresponds to the dir_id with the id Lab Manager VM.  Once you find the relevant line, change suspend_proctype_id to null (Zero-Ctrl).  You can do this while Lab Manager is still running.

    The results can be unstable (i.e. Windows can crash if it was a drastic change of CPU), but at least you look at a hard reset.  The bat reset certainly not being able to return to the previous state.

    Also note that while Lab Manager does not include CVS, if you activated, your virtual machines still work in CVS mode.  If you have a mixture of heterogenious of hosts in a cluster for Lab Manager, you can see this question pop up a lot.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with take back the virtual machine because of the VCA, but Lab Manager thinks otherwise and prevents it.

  • Create an alert n for disonnected/on which the virtual machine

    Hey guys,.

    I am running vCenter 4.1 and I want to create an alert for disconnected or no response from the virtual computer.  I havea hoe from basic idea to create the new detector of definitions, but I can't seem to find one that does what I want.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll probably have to create a new alarm "monitor for specific events on this object...". "Alarm type must be the virtual machine.  Add a trigger to the disconnected event 'VM.  Next, configure your actions.

  • Host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine in the level 0 CPUI register x 1 'ecx '.

    I have a cluster of three ESX servers.  They are IBM 3650 and they are the exact same material bought at the same time.  They even the same exact versions of the firmware (bios, bmc, nic firmware, HBAs, raid, HDD firmware, rsa, etc.).  I started their reclassification of ESX 3.5u3 to ESX4 with all the latest patches.  Then I updated one moved some top vm and upgraded vmware tools and virtual materials without problem.  So, I went and upgraded the following ESX Server and has started moving the machines on that one and upgraded vmware tools and virtual hardware.  I tested the functionality of the ESX servers and they seem to work fine.  I vmotioned machine version 4 hardware virtual machine between the two developed level ESX host very well so I me with the upgrade process.  Then I had to vmotion, one of the virtual machines updated (version 7 of material) between the two ESX hosts newly improved and they won't vmotion.  It gives me the error CPU host is not compatible with the requirements of the judgment of the VM to CPUID level register 0 x 1 'ecx '.  The full error message is in the attachment.

    Apparently, the virtual machine hardware upgrade exposed a few additional things virtual machine that prevents vmotion to work.  I don't know what and I'm quite surprised because these machines are identical identical hardware and firmware.
