Change of that flag - hot virtual CPU add

Hello

I'm trying to build an application that will add/remove of CPU and memory to a machine virtual a VApp.

I currently have the code to add.

What I need is to understand the options 'Add a virtual CPU hot' and 'Hot-memory add' how to define those who through the API? And do I need to change in order to add new CPU/memory?

Thank you

Hen

Hi Henrique,

Basically the virtual CPU/memory hot add means that modifing the number of CPU / memory of the virtual machine, the virtual machine is running.

In the API, you don't need to set options to do - simply start the virtual machine and to try to change - even as usual editing operation.

Note that are are some requirements to perform "HOT ADD" operations, so if some of the requirements is not fullfilled "hot add" operation will fail. For example, this feature is added in VC 4.0, so the version of the VC on which runs the cloud must be at least 4.0 VC. For other requirements on the add feature hot, you can refer to the location of the following link:

I hope this helps! Please write if you have questions.

Kind regards

  • Virtual CPU question

    Hi, I'm relatively new on VMs, but have been playing with them for about the last 6 months. I have an ESXi host that is running 4 comments VM, and I can't understand how the host allocates CPU on the host servers.

    One of the guests is a newly installed Exchange 2010 Server 2008 R2. In this guest operating system, the windows Task Manager showed that the CPU was at least a little. However, when I look at the contents of the host tab, it shows the use of the processor as the half. I thought that the host was supposed to allocate as much as necessary, but it seems to me that the host has more that's not give at the prompt. So after I saw that I configured the client to have a 2nd virtual processor, but then I read that this is not recommended. I put also the actions of CPU high for this customer. I did not have a reservation, but I was wondering if I should? I booked it 8 GB of memory, which doesn't seem to be a problem. Even with the 2nd CPU virtual, always double virtual processors poster Task Manager get maxed out sometimes, and the server can act quite slow when I'm trying to set it up, but the usuage on the host still seems low.

    I guess I'm confused, I thought the host was supposed to automatically extend the amount of resources needed a guest so that you shouldn't ever Miss unless the host itself is maxed out. Can someone explain to me the best way to set this up so this exchange area gets all CPUS, that he needs?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The way it works is that you have a server with 1 quad not core cpu no hyper threading. This would have 4 cores to vmware to use. 4 cores is 4 virtual cpu to use at a relaxed pace. If you were to add it is 4 virtual cpu for all your virtual machines, you should be oversubscription and basically your VMs will begin waiting for the long time available CPU. You can measure with the KPI of time CPU waiting.

    When you set a reserve, say 1000 Mhz to a virtual machine, which means that there is always 1000 Mhz available on this computer from the total pool of available CPU MHz.

    1 virtual processor for a machine of Exchange 2010 is by far not enough cpu power. You do not want to give a little.

    But why you are seeing in the guest computer use at 100% is because you have allocated only 1 vcpu virtual machine, so it is only using 1 core of the CPU. If you have a quad core cpu you would probably see the ESXi host around 25% usage

    Hope this clears for you

  • change the settings of the virtual machine through configuration files?

    Hello

    Is it possible to change the settings of a virtual computer by directly modifying the configuration on the esxi host files?

    And no one knows where these files are stored? Searched for them, but could not find at all (yet)

    Say use winscp to change the config file that reflects the virtual machine?

    Delete the original virtual machine. Right click on the VM 'delete inventory '. Open the data store and locate the vmx file. Right click and "add to the inventory.

  • I can't Thunderbird to recognize the password for the gmail account, that I am trying to add.

    I am trying to add a gmail account to Thunderbird that already hosts several gmail accounts. No matter what I do, I can't recognize the password in Thunderbird. I admit, I was wrong a few times, but I got the right one, and it was typed in perfectly several times, as well as copy and paste. The password worked well to log on to the account directly, but not in Thunderbird. I tried to change the password, and that doesn't work anymore. I tried to add this account in Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 8.1, and the results were the same. In Ubuntu, I tried adding add another account that I needed, and which took place without a hitch. The only thing I can think is the address that I am trying to add is linked to an email address for a Web site being transferred to me which is hosted by Yahoo and his business correspondence. I tried to add the account yahoo directly, but I add the same problems with passwords, but I suspect that most of you know that it's because Yahoo is simply suck more to try to become irrelevant.

    I can't believe how quickly you help on this forum, a few seconds, you guys solved the problem and the account has been added with any other questions. People on this forum rock!

    Now I'm beginning to suspect that he indeed had to do with this first batch of bad passwords.

  • You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

    Hello

    I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

    It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

    There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  • VCO allows you to change the owner of the Virtual Machine

    Hello

    All the world has discovered a way to change the owner of a virtual computer through vCO?

    I can update the IaaS record with the new owner:

    //Find the vCAC Owner Object
    var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc';
    var entitySetName = 'Users';
    var filter = "indexof(UserName,'" + Owner + "') gt -1";
    var orderBy = '';
    var top = 1;
    var skip = 0;
    var headers = null;
    var select = null;
    var entity = vCACEntityManager.readModelEntitiesBySystemQuery(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, filter, orderBy, select, top, skip, headers);
    
    
    System.log("User Name - " + entity[0].properties.get("UserName"));
    
    
    
    
    //Setup new links
    var links = {
      Owner: entity[0]
    }
    
    
    //Update VM with new Owner Link
    var updateProperties = new Properties();
    System.getModule("com
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    ibrary.vcac").updateVCACEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, "VirtualMachines", vCACEntity.keyString, updateProperties, links, null);
    

    Is anyway to update this information in the COFFEE database as well? The owner of the object of custom resource field is read-only, and there is no method to set the owner.

    Thank you

    James

    After a few trials and investigations... I thought about it. Basically, you must update the link as posted on the virtualmachine entity owner earlier. You then the kickoff of operations workflow 2, UpdateMachineNotes and UpdateMachineOwner.

    UpdateMachineNotes updates the VRMOwner field in vsphere, UpdateMachineOwner updates the DB COFFEE (I guess, did not follow it throughout again).

    After creating the operation, you must add 2 workflowoperationarguments to identify which virtual machine to run the operation on and the user of the identity for the operation.

    The following code executes a UpdateMachineNotes:

    //Global Variables
    var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc';
    var links = null
    var headers = null;
    
    //Create the workflow operation
    System.log("Create operation.")
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperations';
    var properties = {
       OperationName:"UpdateMachineNotes"
    };
    var operation = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    //Setup variables for arugments
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperationArguments';
    var links = {
      "WorkflowOperation":operation
    }
    
    //Create workflow argument 1
    System.log("Create argument 1.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"VirtualMachineId",
       Value:vCACVM.virtualMachineID.toString()
    };
    var argEntity1 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    //Create workflow argument 2
    System.log("Create argument 2.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"IdentityUser",
       Value:Owner
    };
    var argEntity2 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    

    The following code executes a UpdateMachineOwner:

    var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc';
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperations';
    var links = null
    var headers = null;
    
    var properties = {
       OperationName:"UpdateMachineOwner"
    };
    System.log("Create operation.")
    var operation = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperationArguments';
    var links = {
      "WorkflowOperation":operation
    }
    
    System.log("Create argument 1.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"VirtualMachineId",
       Value:vCACVM.virtualMachineID.toString()
    };
    var argEntity1 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    
    System.log("Create argument 2.")
    var properties = {
       Name:"IdentityUser",
       Value:Owner
    };
    
    var argEntity2 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
    

    Running an update owner, followed by these 2 operations link, will do exactly the same thing would have operations by clicking "Edit" in the GUI.

    -James

    Edit: The owner variable, should be in the format of @. vCACVM, is an IaaS VM object. vCACHost is a host of vCAC IaaS.

    FYI - Hyper V is statingthat capacity planning Guide is 8 vCPU per processor.

    No, it's not really a direct relationship with 1 base = vCPU, in the case that you "bind" a carrot to a vCPU. Several virtual machines may use the same kernel, just not the same millisecond.

    Allow to use the said you have only one physical CPU with only 1 core, you can always have 2 virtual machines with one vCPU each. Or 4 virtual machine or VM 16 or any other number. Guest for the processor operating system needs, the VMkernel to increase access between the vCPUs on time to the physical basis.

  • The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

    OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

    I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

    After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

    Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

    Nothing else was changed.

    I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

    Error again.

    I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

    Error again.

    FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

    What now?

    I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

    Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

    When you retrieve the VirtualDeviceConfigSpec object, in the getVirtualDeviceConfigSpec() method, the method returns the blank template for the VirtualDeviceConfigSpec. To use this technique in your case, you must also specify which virtual device to change for example, you must set the virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device property to change the network link for a virtual network device. To do the same thing, see the following steps:

    • 1 retrieve all virtual devices available to the virtual machine by using the vm.config.hardware.device property

    • 2. remove the network device appropriate for which the network link must be changed

    • 3 set the appliance recoveries of VirtualDeviceConfigSpec device. Here, you can either use the getvirtualdevicespec() method or create a new object virtualdeviceconfigspec.

    Please see below the code snippet to change the network to a virtual machine.

    Here, we provide three input parameters, namely the virtual machine whose network needs to be changed, the existing network name and the name of the new network.

    string variable existNetwork contains the name of the existing network

    string variable NouveauNetwork contains the name of the new network

    var vmspec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();

    device of var = new VcVirtualPCNet32();

    var devicearr = new Array();

    NIC var = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();

    nic.deviceName = NouveauNetwork;

    var devicespec = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();

    var features = vm.config.hardware.device;

    for (var I in devices)

    {

    If (devices [i] instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32)

    {

    If (.deviceInfo.summary [i] devices is existNetwork)

    {

    devicespec. Device = [i] devices;

    devicespec. Operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;

    devicespec. Device.Backing = nic;

    devicearr [0] = devicespec;

    }

    }

    }

    vmspec.deviceChange = devicearr;
