• How does vcenter distribute CPU and carrots in particular for virtual machines?

  Hi, so we have about 50 vms on 4 hosts in cluster.

  Each VM has got 1 vcpu assigned to them. Today, I had a developer tell me it is terrible, it was because he wanted to tell once the cpu is pegged at 100%, nobody else could do anything on the machine.

  This raised an interesting question: how vmware does manage the underlying and carrots individuals host CPU?

  If I give 2 CPUs in a machine, it maps to the physical CPU underlying, or is he underlying host carrots?

  And finally, if I assigned 2 processors to each vmachine, will I see performance degradation in the cluster to compare to just assign a?

  Hi, so we have about 50 vms on 4 hosts in cluster.

  Each VM has got 1 vcpu assigned to them. Today, I had a developer tell me it is terrible, it was because he wanted to tell once the cpu is pegged at 100%, nobody else could do anything on the machine.

  It would be the case with a physical machine if a processor is pegged at 100%, that it is 100% not different between physical and virtual I'm afraid.

  This raised an interesting question: how vmware does manage the underlying and carrots individuals host CPU?

  First of all, it is not vCenter which manages the planning of CPU is the individual host servers.  read the following doc for a very good idea to schedule of CPU

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/perf-vSphere-cpu_scheduler.PDF

  If I give 2 CPUs in a machine, it maps to the physical CPU underlying, or is he underlying host carrots?

  If you have a guest 2vCPU it will use carrots 2pCPU

  And finally, if I assigned 2 processors to each vmachine, will I see performance degradation in the cluster to compare to just assign a?

  You mileage may vary, but it is not considered best practice to create comments vSMP without good reason, it will increase the pressure on the CPU scheduler on the host servers.

  See you soon!

• Ghostery addon causes 100% CPU load on a carrot for a few seconds for each hyperlink that you clicked.

  For many months now and with several versions of Firefox and firefox profiles, turning the Ghostery add-on causes each hyperlink clicked to have 2 second break. In the Task Manager, I see 25% cpu usage, which equals 100% of CPU on my Quad Core cpu load.

  If I disable Ghostery and restart Firefox, all problems disappear. So I have either the choice between a slow browser, or privacy-enabled navigation. Both are unacceptable.

  I can't find anyone with this problem; is it me?

  I did not use of Ghostery but I guess it could be the preload page and inspect and possibly break URLS to protect you before posting. Maybe if you set the settings so that it does less, allows you to balance the objectives of performance and privacy?

• Goes from CPU to 100% for seconds on Qosmio F becsue of svchost.exe

  My Qosmio often goes to a State of '100% ' for seconds, it is impossible to use the device. All I can do is wait. Normally it's svchost that catches the resources. Kill the process resolves the issue until the next time.

  I have normally 3 instances of svchost. I have 1 GB of RAM. TaskManager shows that I have 66 process, most of which I have not the slightest idea on what they do, but the event although they do not walk, do occupy memory.

• Windows XP I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes.

  Running Windows XP, I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes... this process can be completed or ignored?

  "Setup.exe" is a generic term used by many applications.  The short answer is 'yes', it's OK to complete the process, but you really need to know what it is and why it continues to run.

  You probably need to download, install, update and run these free malware scanner (not at the same time):
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  If that is not fix things, and assuming that this process begins when you start the computer, download, install, and run Autoruns.  When Autoruns has finished scanning, click the 'Connection' tab and look for the line that contains "setup.exe".  You can just uncheck the box on the left, or remove the item, which will prevent the routine of starting when Windows starts.

  Preferably, however, you should look at the path containing setup.exe where you should be able to deduce what application is trying to set itself up.  You can then take the appropriate measures, which may be simply delete the folder that contains the file.  Note that if you delete the file, you must ALSO remove the line in Autoruns, otherwise you will get a "file not found" error every time Windows starts.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1: Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Step 2: Also, look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.

• The CPU usage goes to 100% frequently for all the computers on the network.

  Hi, I'm an engineer, for the past two weeks, my users are complaining about slow and found the CPU usage goes to 100% frequently, as we have laptop Dell Latitude with i7, 4 GB memory, Win7 64 bit OS. but this problem is din't solve even after fresh OS installation.

  Check your remote destop setting. When something like that happens, its been my experience that someone or something keep 'rattling' computers trying to connect to them i.e. virus/trojan or something that someone installed which is now trying to hit everything on the network.

• CPU pegged at 100% in the guest operating system

  Hi all

  New to this forum, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. Note that I'm not our VMware admin, but rather, I have a server I have to admin that has been converted to VM via the P V. apparently process, our group has converted nearly 50 PMs successfully and of course one of mine is the only one who has a problem now. We have a custom application that has been developed to synchronize data between ESRI GIS and databases SAP. The code is about 7 years old and runs on a version of Oracle (9.2) and is Java based, both on the same vintage. It is not possible to upgrade by the creator going out of business and not having is not the source code. I ask this to understand that the problem is probably with the programming, but thought it was worth it.

  Anyway, one of our guard batch process fail with a Java out of memory error on the virtual machine. It works well on the PM. A consultant ran the diagnosis with a Profiler memory on the virtual machine and concluded that the program never went beyond 256 MB and we have 1 GB allocated to the guest. We now consider the CPU issues. The only other thing we know is different is a matter of hyperthreading (HT). The PM is certainly HT'd (1 physical CPU showing that 2) and it does not appear that this setting met on the virtual machine. When you run the package on the PM, we see 2 CPUs in the Task Manager, and neither hits 100% for more than a few seconds for the whole process. On the virtual machine, we see a flatlined CPU and it is 100% most of the time until it fails about 15 min in.

  The sysinfo on the virtual machine shows a 2400 MHz CPU, while the PM shows (2) 3400 MHz CPU (due to HT). I checked all my other virtual machines, and they are all 'show' 2400 MHz, so this must be a virtual standard machine type? I think that the virtual computer guest has access to the CPU ramp according to the needs, but then I'm not clear why the task manager would show that he attached the entire lot? It is likely that task manager prompt indicates whether flatlined to 100% of a 2400 Mhz CPU, even if she isn't really the most? If this is really the most, our admin should not be able to increase the dedicated CPU (I looked at the console with him and did not see an obvious option for this)? Is it possible to enable hyperthreading on the * comments * OS to mimic what has had on the PM? We cannot add another CPU to the guest due to licensing issues. Oh yes, the guest operating system is windows server 2003 and VMware ESXI 4.1 server. Thank you very much!

  G

  The speed of the CPU that you see is the speed of the physical processor in ESXi hosts. You cannot increase this speed, however - licensing - usually, you can assign two vCPUs, virtual machine as a dual CPU core instead of 2 processors. This option has been added to ESXi 4.1. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010184 for more details.

  What you need to do is to set the number of processors to 2 and add the advanced parameter cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2.

• My CPU usuage is going 100%

  OK, I recently problems with m.

  Before my PC used to run smooth, I used to run more than 3-4 programs at the same time. But recently my PC is really slow. Whenever I m using Skype (voice chat) my CPU usage is at 100%, I used to play online and talk on Skype together now is not possible at all. Also, as when I use internet and listen to music my CPU usage is about 70%, which is high! Same thing happens when I watch videos HD, the videos of lag. This happens on youtube, as I can only watch videos of 240 p smoothly. Others do not work smoothly. Usually, when I m not running too many programs my PC is smooth. Also games, games, I used to play before went smoothly today then do not work much more.

  I did my utmost to correct this cleaned up my hard drive, remove all unwanted programs, even cleaned up the dust inside my CPU. And no I do not use anti-virus programs but I hvnt noticed any viruses, just to b problem I installed an and analysed as well but he did not find any virus and yes the anti-virus is up to date, it was the AVG anti-virus don't know how good it is. Also on the internet, I found abt this contraption "msconfig" and a little confused when I run tht so did nothing yet.

  Well, I hope that I have explained the problem well, usually when I do not have anything in the CPU usage is fine as now since I m typing use atm CPU is normal. Hope someone can help me find a solution. :)

  It is prudent to perform at least an analysis of filling with something like Malwarebytes and Superantispyware to make an effort to remove common malware and only when they perform own start to look for other things.

  Assuming you have done this, we learn more about your system (since we don't know anything about).

  As you describe the problem is visible when you CPU and video intensive things such as watching videos, games online, Skype, we will need to know your video subsystem too.

  Since you seem to be able to recreate the problem, if you make an adjustment and your test condition begins to behave, you will know that you are looking in the right places.

  First of all, you have work to do...

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  Now provide some gory details more:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here.

  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  If you have IDE disks, they can back a sort of DMA mode to PIO mode slow, so you must check that too.  Here's how:

  If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to make sure the transfer mode for the IDE channels to something as DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.

  Don't forget: PIO is slower transfer mode, DMA is the fastest transfer mode.

  It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.

  To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  devmgmt.msc

  Click OK.

  Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Right-click on each channel and select properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops.

  The faster the Transfer Mode selection will be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA DMA5, UDMA, etc.).  If it is PIO, change it to DMA.  Be sure to click on OK to save the settings.
    
  If you are unsure of what you see, after return what you see for help and advice.
    
  If you make adjustments, reboot and go back and check the settings again to make sure that any changes you did stick.

  Finally, instead of guess what you might have to startup items and what you might be able to do without, it's easy for you to simply provide a list of your startup items and then get a few recommendations of things that you can do without that, to do this:

  Download CCleaner here:
  http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

  CCleaner allows you to manage most of the startup items and also do some other operations oriented cleaning.  Some people will you recommend is not to use the registry functions in CCleaner to avoid these features for now.  I have no problem with it for me, but sometimes it's a contentious issue, I prefer to avoid as much as possible!

  You can uninstall CCleaner later if you don't like it.

  With CCleaner, you can disable the startup items, reboot to see what things look like and if you want - completely remove unnecessary or just startup items leave the disabled while you continue troubleshooting.

  Run CCleaner and choose Tools, boot and bottom right, click on the button "Save to text file" to save the startup information in a text - something like startup.txt file

  Save the boot information text file on your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) open the text file with an editor (Notepad or WordPad), select all (Ctrl-A), copy text, all the text selected in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the startup list to come back here in your next reply and maybe someone can tell you other things to consider.

  Finally and most importantly, you must be sure that your provider of Internet Service (ISP) provides the Internet download speed you pay for what you can test it by visiting this site:

  www.Speedtest.NET

  Wait that it load and click on begin Test.

  When it finishes, you will know that your download speed and your download speed so tell us what they are:

  Download speed: _
  Download speed: _

  If you pay 10 Mbps and you get only 2, while you pay more than you are getting (you are getting ripped off), so you scream at your ISP and request that they help you fix it if you get what you pay for.

• In "Services.exe" CPU usage increases to 100 percent XP.

Attempt to disable Load System Services through the system without result Configuration utility, because cpu cannot handle this function before of 'Services' system of pigs. Is there a way to access msconfig. through BACK? Have tried all modes safe mode, same problem.

  I would exercise caution in handling things in the System Configuration utility.  If you disable the thing (s) evil, you could make your problem worse.

  I suggest provide you a little more information on your system, run some scans for malware, then fix what's left more that needs fixing.

  If you see services.exe equips in the Task Manager, suspect malware first, work to eliminate this possibility (with the scans below), then if you still have a problem, we can fix.

  It makes no sense to try to solve problems on a system that could have malicious software on it.

  You can also try to run system restore if you want, but I don't really know, it counts as 'fixing' of the problem.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  No matter what you use for malware protection, perform the following analyses for malware.
  then fix any problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these malware free
  detection programs:

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

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

• My CPU usage is at 100%, but the task manager says that nothing is more than using 01%

  Last night, I installed the updates for Windows 7 during the stop, as I normally do. He said there are four updates, and one went by pretty quickly. It seemed to get stuck on the second (even though he probably didn't want to - the blue ORB turned and the dots are moving, so I guess it's to large or slow) for a few minutes, three update took slightly less time and at the time he obtained for the release of four, I was paying attention just because I was so tired.

  In any case, I went to start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) and on black splash screen "starting windows" with the flag/banner, he said that he needed install/configure 360 some odd updates. I had seen this before, although I do not remember how recently, so I thought nothing of it. I still don't know if it meant something significant.

  Now the problem is that my CPU usage is constantly at 100%, yet when I finally managed to open the Task Manager, NONE of the listed processes use anything more than 1%, and those who fluctuate. I can easily boot into safe mode, and from there, I have disabled the start of the process, such as taskbar support and itunes things google related, but I still boot normally to 100%.

  Any ideas? It would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to College next year and I really don't want to worry about finding how to get a new machine.

  Thank you!

  Hi Renae92,

  1. You have security software installed on the computer?
  2. High CPU usage occurs after the boot process?

  Method 1

  As the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest you run the troubleshooter of performance and check if it helps.
