• script to check my current reserves of CPU and memory on the service console

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to check that reserve is currently, we are running out of problems with vRanger connection, just need to make sure we have all the cpu and memory to the correct value.

  found a few scripts to change, that we guys do you use?

  Thank you

  The script required PowerShell v2.

  Try this if you use PowerShell v1.

  filter Get-ConsoleResource{
       param(
            $entity
       )
  
       begin{
            $result = $null
       }
       process{
            if($_.Key -eq "host/vim/console"){
                 $_
            }
            if($_.Child){
                 $_.Child | Get-ConsoleResource
            }
       }
       end{
       }
  }

• Dash for the CPU and memory in the custom user interface

  I need a custom dashboard,

  where I will get all the vm in widget and when I select a vm on the widget side it should show % CPU, % memory usage or a latency of disk all in one metric graph.

  Can someone help me?

  Of course, you need to do is to create a resource interaction file, and then assign this file to a Sparkline widget or graphic metric. Interactions will be "selected resources" widget list VM for the reception of graphic style widget. See the information here:

• Info CPU and memory for the models?

  It doesn't seem to be a NumCpu or MemoryMB property for models.
  How can I get this info?
  I watched $Template.ExtensionData.ResourceConfig.MemoryAllocation
  and $Template.ExtensionData.ResourceConfig.CpuAllocation but I get nothing back for these parameters.
  How to get this info?

  It is hidden under the hardware

  Get-Template | Select Name,
  @{N="CPU";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.NumCPU}},
  @{N="Memory";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.MemoryMB}}

  Here, I show you how to create a new 'role' and then how to assign this role, as well as accounts or shareholders as they are called in the API, entity.

  An ESX Server has 3 built in roles ('No Access', 'Read only' and 'Administrator'), but you can create your own roles with just the privileges that you need.

• -Plug hot CPU and memory

  Hello.

  I'll try the new features of vSphere and have a double with the addition of a CPU or memory to a virtual machine while it is running.

  First of all, Microsoft said that only the data center itanium editions and supports the addition of hot CPU, but I found some forums who say they did the test with other editions as standard or enterprice, is this posible?

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/R2-compare-specs.aspx

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/features/comparefeatures.mspx

  I tried with a windows server 2008 standard x 64 and when I added a CPU Device Manager shows me 2 CPUs, but the Task Manager doesn't show one and when I added to that memory, the Task Manager shows no change, but Device Manager shows the new memory module with an alert.

  When I restart the virtual machine to the new hardware configuration worked well.

  If windows does not support hot branch of CPU and memory in the data center and itanium editions, why is the option available (when we edit a virtual machine) for other editions as standard?

  Thank you...

  Here is a good list which has been implemented and seems to be fairly well validated.  But the result is, it has windows and a restart could never hurt.

• Can we use use DELL R610 / R710 for execution of the ESX host?

  We will purchase a new server to run ESX 3.5 or vSphere.  We have new DELL servers.

  We considered R610 and R710, but we see that there are only 2 PCIe slots.  As one of them be given for an image ADDITIONAL NIC card, there is only one location for HBA.   It is advisable to use a Dual Channel QLogic QLE2462 HBA.

  However, it seems that the Dual Channel HBA will be a single point of failure - if it is connected to 2 different switches FC.  We would love to hear if anyone uses these DELL servers to run the ESX host.

  Thank you

  Good question, I would have preferred two HBA cards. If storage fails everything disappeared. If network failure you will not have access to the outside, but the chances of data corruption is smaller.

• Add more disk space for the ESX host

  Hi all

  I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

  Thank you

  Jonathan

  You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

• Window Media Player.exe using 100% of CPU and memory

  I have a Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 4 GB of memory. Windows Media Player.exe supports my CPU 100% usage and it is striking all my memory - 4 GB.   It started right after I set up a homegroup.

  I had to go into Admin/service and change the Startup Type to disabled for:

  • Windows Media Center Receiver Service
  • The window media services planning service
  • Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

  I tried setting services to manual, but Windows Media Player has yet caught all the CPU and memory, he could then I disabled all the.

  I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.

  Hello

  I think this explains the problem.  The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.

  C:\Users\Rick

  C:\

  To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove.  When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.

• 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.

• Maximum CPU and RAM to the Virtual Image

  Hi all

  I have the host whose hardware 2 cpu machine each with 4 core that is all of the 8 and 16 GB of Ram. On this server image Linux single runs, which has mysql in there. currently image use 4 core processor and 4 GB of RAM.

  As I'm observing some performance issue, I want to increase cpu and memory allocated to the virtual machine.

  Can someone will let me know maximum CPU and RAM I can attribute to the image without destabilizing or errors.

  I'm under VMware ESXi 5.5.0

  Hi again mithrandirr,

  you don't have to worry about the allocation of CPU. The ESXi VMkernel is very flexible in terms of handling & plan the resources of the processor. You'd be fine same allocation the CPU power you have (so 2 Sockets x 4 cores per Socket) to the server. The CPU cycles are carried out on request if you don't have to worry about making your physical host fails or otherwise degraded performance. Therefore, you can go ahead and increase the number of base to 6 in what either I described above. Just for your information, the internal processes of the ESXi (referred to as 'worlds') always run on CPU logic 0 and consume very little resources.

• Free version of 5.5 (CPU and memory limits)

  Hello

  Is there a limit CPU and memory if I run the free version of 5.5?  I remember that there is a limitation of a socket (CPU), but am not sure, maybe it was the old version.

  Thanks in advance.

  TT

  If I'm mistaken, the only limitation with the free 5.5 ESXi hypervisor is the 8 vCPU maximum of VMS and the restrictions for hardware virtual version 9 (5.1 compatibility) with the vSphere Client. Previous versions had all kinds of different limitations, like carrots by socket, physical memory,..., but that all left with the current version.

  Hi Tomiko094,
  
  More than likely HP won't to material support for W8 on any system purchased before October 1, 2011. Most of the W7 drivers will work W8.
  
  Have a look here http://goo.gl/hmPRB for a document official on the update of drivers and software
  
  This document here http://goo.gl/CO6uV provides information on the upgrade to Windows 8
  
  I hope this helps.
