Bad Performance of host with workstation 6.5 OS

We evaluate the virtual machine software and that you have installed VMware Workstation on our computer to test against Parallels and Virtual PC.  We already have Virtual PC on a computer that is different, but the same with good results with the exception of access to video drivers and other issues.

We installed Vmware, installed XP32 as the guest operating system and a severe slowdown on the host operating system.  It is at the point of use.  However, we do not see that all resources are used, there is time to RAM and processor available and disk access seems fine.  Someone give me a clue as why performance is so bad.  Computer form below

Dell Latitude D820

2.0 Intel CD

4 GB of RAM

HARD 250 GB sata 7200 RPM drive

Broadcom NetExtreme 57xx Gigabit controller

I put the OS to use 2 processors, 2 GB of RAM and HDD to 25 invited GB and bridged networking.

When I start the VM it disconnects me from the network on the host.  Should I switch to NAT?

Thank you

with the appropriate settings and a guest with 1 600 MB of vRAM less this 1600 MB can be located entirely in real RAM memory

a virtual machine with nominal 2400 MB of vRAM may however use real RAM 300 Mo while the rest 2100 MB are toggled to a memory file.

Guess what is faster...

This limitation has nothing to do with these limitations, you mentioned. It is a remnant of older versions of workstation where the max RAM amount for a guest was 1600 MB.

Earlier versions always fully allocated real vRAM in RAM

  • "bad vmx86.sys" problem with Workstation 8 on Windows 7 x 64

    I just upgraded to Workstation 8 (Windows 7 x 64) and I get the following error when I try to create virtual machines:

    "Could not get the vmx86 driver version: the handle is invalid.". You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmx86.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Could not initialize the surveillance apparatus. »

    If I do, "Run As Administrator" I can make it work.

    Tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    VMPlayer doesn't seem to work either - even with "Run As Administrator". It just hangs.

    I also noticed that I can't change priority in the preferences settings - unless I do "Run as Administrator". I'm logged in as an administrator account.

    So, it seems to be little usually permissions problem - although it still does not seem fix Player.

    I bet that your firewall is Comodo.

    I had the same caveat! Follow the steps and you will enjoy Workstation without administrator privileges:

    (1) open from Comodo

    (2) go on the defense + Tab

  • Hosts with active Hyperthreading - best performance of the virtual machine?

    After having been involved in a recent thread on Hyperthreading activation on your hosts: -.

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/1567821

    In this thread Jason comments that when the HT is enabled he saw much better performance of virtual machines on this host, we have, I think I've also seen elsewhere.  We saw a clear improvement of the performance of our Oracle server when its on a host that has enabled HT, so much so that we have now disabled for this virtual machine DRS, so that it doesn't move off them.

    If anyone has any other given that a marked improvement?

    The specification of hosts within our farm are essentially the same, and new hosts with HT could actually could be called lower spec than our other guests so its interesting, it makes such a difference.

    In any case, interesting to see what other people have found.

    Yes, class processors Nehalem hyperthreading performance of vSphere one little, doubling the number of execution threads will make Scheduler ESX easiers so many jobs. I have a little stand alone ESX hosts with a single Quad Core Nehalem processor for applications Oracle and performance is very good.

  • Very bad performance on a virtual machine

    Hi all

    I've got 2 x 5.1.0 ESXi hosts (733933) in my environment connected to a starwind iSCSI data store that has SSD in a RAID array. It's very fast because we never had performance issues.

    The data in question store contains several virtual machines. Virtual machines are as quick as you wait, except for one. It is very slow, and I can't nail why (IOMeter test below).

    I tried these techniques to understand:

    1. Run IOmeter several moments of the day to ensure that it is not a process on the VM problem asking the questions
    2. Length of queue disk supervised the VM problem to ensure that it is not too busy
    3. Provided all the parameters of virtual equipment of the VM (type of controller disk, CPU, RAM) problem
    4. Installed a new VM on this data store to eliminate the data store as a cause of the performance issue
    5. Checked the allocation of shares of the VM problem to make sure it is not pushed to the side under heavy load

    I don't see anything that can cause this problem, someone at - it ideas?

    The performance test:

    http://i.snag.gy/YAcSU.jpg

    Just a thought that we had something like that a long time ago... I was sure it was the storage that it ended up being the memory and CPU on the virtual machine limit.  You would see really bad performance on the wise vm storage, but the real problem was the vm limit causing storage I/O queue time.   I would look in the settings of the virtual machine and look at reservation / limit.   Do not forget that even a reservation does not override the limit.

    If you do not have a limit attempt to set a reserve for all CPU / memory and then test again.   If it fails again there is something really wrong with the I/O stack on your Windows OS virtual machine.  (You should also try to vmotion it in another data store)

    If you know how to use ESXTOP you can quickly find information on your problem using the m, c and v keys.

    I would like to know what you find.

  • How can I get information from performance on disc with vFoglight 6.5 latency?

    Can someone tell me where I can get info from performance on disc with vFoglight 6.5 latency?

    There are also alarms that deal with the latency of disk. You are looking for a report or dashboard? Check the alarm Viewer and define a filter on the "latency". This will show you all the current latency time, then you can explore the host or logical unit number that is having the problem.

  • Bad display on MX700 with 3 endpoints connected

    Bad display on MX700 with 3 endpoints connected | Telepresence | Cisco support community

    Hello

    We have 3 MX700 (two screens) with multisite license and tried a conference between the 3 sites, but we had a bad behavior on the third connected site...

    Assume the following:

    -Call of Site1 site2: site1 and site2 see on screens separated as planned

    -Site1 calls training3 to join them at the Conference and then here is the result:

    * site1 sees site2 and training3 on screens separated as planned

    * site2 sees site1 and training3 on screens separated as planned

    * training3 sees site1 and site2 on the same screen and the other screen is only usable for a common presentation or to see the local picture

    It was impossible for training3 to change the layout of the screen. The only thing was to move the image of the local camera on different screens, but it was impossible to see site1 and site2 on different screens. It's really annoying because it displays site1 and site2 small on the same screen.

    For more information on the 10 touch, the screen showing site1 and site2 was named by 'site1' name. As if the video stream only site1 calling, there is no mention of site2 anywhere.

    Can someone help us with that?

    Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

    // // //

    If I understand correctly - the call scenarios your assumptions are incorrect. Only the MX hosting the call will be other ends remote on separate screens. The standard features of SIP/H.323 allowing for a live video stream, a second for the content. Cisco Telepresence Server is a feature called "multistream" which allows you to send more than a live stream, but not the multi-site integrated in the codec. The call - in your example one - site hosting site they can see sites 2 and 3 on separate screens because they are in calls with each of them.

    In your balls - if site called 1 2 and 3, only 1 site would see the two separately. Suggest site two, but it would be no less than two called 1 and 3 of the site.

    If the site called 1 2 and 3, site 1 would show 2 and 3 on both screens if there is no content, and they combine on 1 screen if it has content. Sites 2 and 3 would show only the handset (usually continuous presence) image on the primary and the second would remain turned off unless it had contained.

  • Ubuntu Server host with Intel i7 = > only 2/4 carrots for feedback Win7?

    Hi all

    I'm experimenting with VMWare Server 2 on linux. So I installed a light Linux (Ubuntu Server 10.10) as the host, to manage my virtual instances of Windows 7. But when I try to install Windows 7, I can only choose 2/4 carrots for her.

    This seems quite a loss of my i7 processor, because I just want to run 1 virtual instance of Windows 7 and preferably as soon as possible.

    Is it possible to use more of my processor? Maybe when using VMware Workstation?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Best wishes

    Jochen

    Welcoem to communities-

    What you see is the limitation of VMware Server 2 - virtual machines running under VMware Server 2 cannot be awarded 2 virtual processors - with workstation 7 you can assign multiple nuclei to the VM - check-out http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws71_manual.pdf pg 368

  • Performance of GST with vMMU (IVR)

    Hi guys,.

    I've been playing with vMMU and I discovered that it was possible to hot switch between swMMU and hwMMU with vMotion. I guess it's because of the 'new' VMM created on the destination server. I joined the graph of the memory of the VMHosts 2 (ESXi 4.0 U1 latest generation) for the vMotion (VM 30) to compare:

    ! http://hypervisor.free.fr/IMG/vMMU_vMotion.jpg !

    As you can see, the GST does not perform as well with hwMMU (because of large pages) but can someone tell me why it works anyway?

    BTW, the Auto setting on W2K3 comments serve swMMU then the white book VMM clearly say otherwise, I've heard of this bug in ESX (i) 3.5 but not in ESX(I) 4.0 U1

    If you start Windows and after that you do vMotion, page graphic display sharing under hwVmmu is still valid because vmmu will share the pages (zero), which is reset to 0 by the windows at startup even prompt on the servers of NPT/EFA (in your case).

    SwVMMU side known behavior, the same zero page could be again share on the destination host computer.

    Thank you.

  • Bad Performance InDesignCS3 OS10.5.6

    Tour G - 5 Mac OS 10.5.6 In Design CS3

    I've known a continued degradation of performance with InDesignCS3. Since I started using it in CS1 he delayed launch. Now, it takes about 1.5 minutes at the start and it takes about 2 minutes to stop. It takes about a minute to print the first print job after opening InDesign. After this printing fine.


    As of today, I noticed that brought PhotoshopCS3 photos for printing (150 dpi) newspaper are wrong pixelated(sp?). The original photos were 300 DPI and many more large physical dimensions. I went to the display-> display performance-> high quality with no result display. I restarted the CPU and it worked fine for about 10 minutes then the problem comes back. I even "uninstalled" and reinstalled InDesign without success. The quality of the resolution's going again between bad and good. When the photos appear good, they print well and vice versa. I also changed in overlay mode to remove the lines around text boxes, etc. The catalogue, dialog, I made sure that in the data graphics-> Send > all is selected.

  • V21 Firefox cannot find the files if file *.htm used "style windows" path slashes to the java scripts (on Unix, hosting with apache)

    Hello. I find a strange behavior of Firefox v21. If the 'windows' path used *.htm file slashes to the java scripts (on Unix, hosting with apache). Firefox says 404, but other browsers (such as Opera, Chrome, IE10) works properly with this.

    You should use slashes in links so that they work properly in Firefox, otherwise Firefox will escape them that 5% C as you can see if you would them hover in the case of a real link (this is obviously not possible in this case).

  • Process * \MCSHIELD. EXE the nest (428) contained code signed or corrupted and could not perform an operation with a McAfee driver.

    XP SP3 system

    I get warnings like this when Mcafee updates.

    Process * \MCSHIELD. EXE the nest (428) contained code signed or corrupted and could not perform an operation with a McAfee driver.

    Process * \SVCHOST. EXE the nest (1632) contained code signed or corrupted and could not perform an operation with a McAfee driver.

    Is this a problem Microsoft or Mcafee?

    Do I need to fix?

    In the McAfee forums, there are several similar positions such as:

    https://community.McAfee.com/message/241542

    I'll sue your question on in their community, as they already seem to know about it.

    I would also say that, unless you are very fond of McAfee or you are forced to use it, you plan to replace it with something that has a smaller footprint, uses less resources and doesn't have these problems - something like Microsoft Security Essentials, you can get here:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-download

    MSE completed with the free version of MBAM and SAS should permanently keep your clean enough unless you're a daredevil like me:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time) and remove all threats:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

    Even if you keep McAfee, I always supplement it with MBAM and SAS since no single AV program does seem to know everything.  If your McAfee of your system is clean, I would interpret that means - McAfee found nothing, says he knows.  It is prudent to use more than a reputable scanner to get more coverage.

    If you choose to spend (and you can't have both at the same time), you must be sure to use the uninstaller that you can get from here:
