Cannot modify memory and CPU of the parameters on a virtual computer running - vSphere 4

After a new installation of vSphere 4, I created several virtual machines and P2V had a couple as well.  DRS and HA was set up, and everything worked well.  If I understand correctly, I should be able to change the settings of RAM and the processor to a virtual computer running, but they are greyed out as with previous versions.  I can change them if the virtual machine is shut down.  No idea why this?

Thank you!

1 VM should be version 7 of material.

2. you must set the "Allow memory hot add" powered off mode.

Only after this, you can add memory to the virtual machine performance. Also, don't forget that Windows 2003 and 2008, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition support this.

  • HP 550: updated hp 550 memory and cpu with the unconventional settings. is not ideal, but not other choice

    HI guys, I hope you can help or at least give a point in the right direction. I am a freelance photographer with a large part of the suite creative Adobe CS6. After a disaster of a week, I came home to find the motherboard on my editing station is fried somehow. I don't know what happened though I wouldn't put past my inattention of roommates.
    I'm desperate. I have to finish my current job until I'm able to afford to buy a replacement. So I have to rely on stop-gap measures, in desperation to finish my project, that are less than ideal, but so far are doing better than I'd hoped.
    Im a photographer, Capture One, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro are the go for workaholic applications that I need to work. without them I have no income. in order to have this machine run these applications,
    the machine I have left is an old hp 550 that was gathering dust in the closet. It was built for 32 bit Win XP and in no case is designed to run adobe products food pork I use, particularly of Lightroom.
    Unfortunately PS with Lightroom and first are 64-bit programs and LR and first are hyper threaded. so I did some research and with the help of the list of the utility windows 7 Advisor to upgrade instructions, I was able to get windows 7 Pro 64-bit to install and run.

    I know that this is not the ideal machine or the situation, but for a few weeks, I need to make it work.

    I really just 2 simple questions. First of all, I went to the HP technical support. but they were not useful. as the guarantee of the laptop are long gone, they would be not even polite and basically told me to shove off. Then on another forum, I called back and comes with a knowledge it all who constantly insisted on the fact that there was no way no how this pc could run 64 bit win 7, which i thought what am I seeing things? It works very well for 3 months. So I decided to come to you. your forums were useful on many occasions.

    Basically, I need this machine to run these programs during the next month or two, until I can buy a new machine.

    essentially, what I want to know, it's the motherboard support an upgrade of the processor? and if anything goes, what do you suggest as a substitute, given my needs? The Core 2 duo is the bare minimum of what I can limp with like photo/video rendering times are excessively slow.

    then I was talking to the support staff essential tech upgraded memory. and possibly set the bios to force to run 8 gigs of ram. They said that they have cold cannot find any version of bios that would make that possible, but only by forcing already run 64 bit, which has already allowed the pc to use the full 4 GB of ram, which was impossible in the 32-bit format. He suggested that I buy 2 4 gig modules such as 4 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 unbuffered NON - ECC, 1.8V 512Meg x 64 which can be seen at http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory/ct51264ac667 and try to install the full 8 concerts and see what would happen, saying that he had a feeling that I might get lucky. his logic is that the 64-bit system already open the ram limits and who knows, you can't make an omelet without cracking of eggshells! It seemed very optimistic. So, what do you think? It seems likely you because I love to work. or do you think the guy was a quack? and this whole endeaver is a waste of time and money?

    also, any other suggestions on how to time this month long storm that do not involve suggestions of buying new machines would be appreciated!

    Unfortunately, the maximum configuration is a processor T5670 1.8 ghz and 4 GB of DDR2-667 memory, you already have. The CPU includes the 64-bit instructions is not surprising, that it can run Windows 7 64-bit. My best advice is to save your money for when you can get a real working machine. The only other likely to help is a solid state drive, you might use in the laptop and then also use the new computer that you intend to buy.

  • What is the time it takes to run out of memory and cpu between the hypervisor and vm?

    I wanted to know the time for the performance of CPU and memory between VMS and the hypervisor.  I know that there is a sort of delay when the virtual computer runs cpu or memory because it has transmitted to the hypervisor and handed over to the virtual machine.  Thanks for the help.

    It depends on the workload and server usage.  If the system is not completely loaded and active code is in user space there is zero delay.  If the host is used then the virtual machine is provided a slice of time to system resources and will have to wait his turn to access the CPU.  In this case, the time is according to the system load.

    In short, delay of CPU and memory can be and is often zero.

  • Get-Cluster execution memory and cpu details

    I am writing a script to generate graphs based on average use memory and cpu during the previous month, but I'm doing it for each cluster itself without explicitly naming them. The graphic bit side (I use mschart or googlechart for this) I just need to get the actual statistics and it's the bit that I have a problem with because everything I see with my research pulls the individual information of the VMs or the hosts in the cluster.

    I am looking for two values in each case - the name of the cluster and average use. But the use of the average for the overall Group and not the indivdual VMs.

    I was watching this:

    script of PowerCLI to capture cpu usage statistics & mem

    But that you use hosts.

    I have attached a picture of something that I'm looking, red line on average in percentage and the blue line on average in megabytes. It has been exported from the vcenter however. I'm just trying to save time.

    Thanks in advance

  • Allocation of memory and CPU

    Guys,

    My question may sound trivial, but I need it to be clear.
    If I allocate a certain amount of RAM and CPU (without reservation) on some VMS, if virtual machines are not fully allocated amount, is used by other virtual machines.
    I am asking that more I VCOPs reports with a lot of oversized VMs and I also I know I must take measures to reduce the overhead of each virtual machine, I need to know if the memory and CPU are shared dynamically in case of needs of other virtual machines.

    Thanks in advance.

    Daniele

    Short answer Yes, if no reservation is defined, resources are allocated dynamically.  In case of contention, actions values will be used for the allocation of resources.  Virtual machines with lots of unused memory are taxed (income tax slowed) and claimed in a balloon.  The important thing is to know what the VM workload is running, and if VMs are memory aid for the contents of the cache, it is to say sql or exchange and these may consider oversized VMs.  Monitor the virtual machine during the period during the normal business cycle and the size of your virtual machines accordingly.

  • ESXi 5.1 - Exchange 2007 - file Page memory and CPU allocation

    I'm currently migrating a class Cluster CSC Exchange 2007 running on vmware on windows 2008, 2003.  It is also a SCC Cluster.  I followed all of the vmware and MS best practices, but not sure of one thing IM is the size of memory and CPU allocation page/swap file.  I have 5 Esxi hosts and each is running only Exchange 2007 comments according to vmware and MS recommendations when you use the Clustering of CSC.

    Each host has 2 CPUs to 6 cores per processor and 48 gb of Ram and that each host will have only a guest, would like to send it to the guest.  I read somewhere that it is recommended this page exchange 2007 memory size + 10 mb file.  Do I really need to get the page to the size of the file?  250 GB of disk space is a lot for swap files! IM also not sure what to set the allocation processor too.  If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Hi dlargeit,

    First of all, off - welcome to the VMTN forums!

    I'm with Josh26 I've ever seen any recommendations indicating that when a CCS cluster virtualization virtual machine by host is taken in charge. It is recommended to keep only a single node SCC by host (which is true for all virtual clusters or technologies like Exchange CSC/CCR/DAG), but there is nothing specific regarding the keep only a single virtual machine by host.

    On the file page, you are actually right on that.  For Exchange 2007, the paging file must be on the amount of memory configured as well as 10 MB to account for overhead costs of the kernel.  It is recommended by Microsoft and it is planned to provide enough space page Exchange should exchange more provide the necessary overhead if meet you a server failure and need to create a complete memory dump.

    You can find this recommendation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/aa996719 (EXCHG.80) .aspx

    In terms of CPU allocation, which should really be made according to your individual needs rather than just give all the resources the VM on the ESXi host.  Microsoft lists the maximum recommended for processor resources (Planning Processor Configurations: Exchange 2007 help) and it says that 12 hearts is the maximum for mailbox or Hub Transport box.  Is your really big enough environment need a lot of CPU resources?  Why not start small and increase it if necessary?

    You are in control of your own destiny in some of these configurations.  If you know the recommended page file size is 10 MB of RAM +, do not give the server more RAM is really needed, or you will have to pay for it in the consumed disk space to host the pagefile.  See the guide to memory resources (Planning Memory Configurations: Exchange 2007 help) to understand the maximum rates of memory for Exchange.  You will see that the maximum memory is 32GB, so there are very few reasons to assign all 48GB of RAM on your server, if it can even use.

    In short, the size of the server based on the real needs and I am confident, that you will have a virtualized Exchange system that performs as well as physical.

  • Flash Player 17.0.0.134 high memory and CPU

    Hello

    I can't find any information or solutions to this. From the 17.0.0.134 updated Flash version, it uses a ton of memory and cpu high. I've updated everything (windows, browsers, plug-ins, video... etc) I am on Windows using Firefox 36.0.4(up-dated hier de.0.3) 8.1 and it continues to sky rocket, and then everything slows down and tell me the shockwave plugin broke down and I need to close. In addition, I continue to receive messages from my Norton on the high use of the disc of the flash player: (PLEASE)... can someone help me or at least tell what other people have the same problem.

    Thank you very much!

    Yes, I'm not surprised by the memory.  Farmville may have earned of objects loaded, which gets intensive memory, and then we do a lot of caching and optimization on top of it.  The CPU usage is higher than I'd like, but there is so much crazy stuff goes under the hood of these kinds of games.  Zynga is actually in front of the team of Flash Player in San Francisco, so we spent a lot of time to work with them to build the profilers and adjust their games.

    Honestly, you will get probably better performance in IE - there was a lot of performance tuning for Win8 spent energy, and it does not suffer from either architectural deficiencies in the implementation of Firefox this impact, or performance of the OpenGL performance issue that affects the PPAPI Flash Player at the moment.  We are actively working on both of these problems, so it is hopefully a temporary situation, but two corrections are negligible.

    The ActiveX control also gets a lot of latest Windows compiler optimizations that we use for the Chrome or the plug-in on Firefox NPAPI still.  We will eventually migrate to the latest compilers of Windows for everything, but it's a lot of work.  Switching compilers seems easy, but it's always a very difficult effort when you have a million line code base and more.  I don't think that what you see, it's quite unreasonable as it is really ambitious content, but you will probably get a better experience of IE on the desktop with Stage3D mode such things.

  • Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

    I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

    If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

    Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

    1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

    2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

    Top - N analysis

    Weather map

    Analysis of distribution of data

    Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

    3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

    4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

    5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

    6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

    7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

    8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

    You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

  • Get the data from a virtual computer store

    I'm looking to get the data from a virtual computer store, but format to be used with vmrun.  My current vmrun statement is:

    The idea is to replace & lt; datastorename & gt; given with the name of the LUN that is running on a virtual machine.  In this case, I'm running my statement vmrun from inside a script PowerCLI.  I can use a variables powerCLI, if the vmrun instruction can take and use all escape sequences are needed to adapt the format vmrun to this argument.

    That is right.
