Detect what (guest) VM consumes host resources

• How do you keep the guests on their hosts (no migration) by making the food stops.

  I apologize in advance for the length of this post.

  In general do not much poster, but a lot of reading.  First of all, let me tell you that I'm not a GURU PowerCLI, never written one in my life, but there is always a first time.

  Background:

  Under VMWare 4.1, that us did not run with HA, for whatever the reason why I don't know.  We had (our UPS manufacturer) Liebert software called MultiLink that when there was a power outage after 15 minutes would run a .bat file on the server vCenter for windows that would log on to the vmware host and run a file .sh that accumulate all the machines on the host and start making judgments on them.  Once completed the host itself would make a stop.

  Currently:

  Improved 5.5 VMWare vCenter, have HA and followed now host active in the configuration. We find that we can follow is no longer the practice that we have done less than 4.1.

  I got a new version 4.2.4 and that it contains, there is provision in interface with VMWare through the PowerCLI and it stops all guests on the host computer. The host then stops.

  I suspect STRONGLY that when the command is issued to stop the host itself, HA or monitoring kick and migrates customers and/or models out of the machine, before the machine shutsdown.  In the first tests, I had a host with 5 models, 1 windows machine and a Virtual Appliance on it.  Everything was arrested, as was that it was supposed to, but the host was brought back to the top he had nothing on it.  Models and machines had been moved (spread) for the two other machines.

  This has been confirmed in another test on 01/05/2015 through vCenter client connection, the guests have been stop, the by refreshing the screen you could see the machines leave the test machine, then the server itself, stop.  In a subsequent test, I commented on the "Shutdown the ESX hosts" part and the machine down and remained where they were.  So I'm guessing that it has something to do with HA, surveillance or other thing that needs to be defined differently for him to stop guests from the host, stop the host, BUT not to migrate comments to others running machines.  Do I need to enter the maintenance or standby mode before making the shutdown command?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You can avoid the confirmation prompt by adding the -confirm: $false pass.

  What follows will check all clusters and those where the priority of restarting is not disabled, is set to disabled.

  Get-Cluster |

  where {'ClusterRestartPriority', 'High', 'Medium', 'Low' - contains $_.} HARestartPriority} |

  HARestartPriority-set off Cluster - confirm: $false

  In this way, HA will continue to function (for ESXi other nodes in the cluster), but virtual machines will remain on the crux of ESXi, you stop.

• Virtual LAN with guests and the host only

  Hello

  I have a win server 2008 r2 host and a couple of virtual machines.

  I want to create a VLAN that contains the host and guest of the virtual machine. I intend to host the domain controller.

  I put the network connection from the guest to "host-only '.

  Then I tried ping between the guest and the host. Ping fails. "request time out" @host and "destination host unreachable'@guest.

  Firewall is turned off on both.

  What could be the problem? Is there another way to reach my goal?

  Kind regards

  Dembele.

  Did you stop the firewall service, or you have turned off the firewall? Stopping the service does not work.

  In any case, take a look at for example example 4 in the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947709/en-us for how to configure ICMP (ping) settings.

• Consumed host memory

  We have many HP DL585 G2 and G5 ESX ESX 4 U2 hosts running.  These have the AMD processor. In all of these hosts, consumed host memory is usually an amount much lower than what is assigned. Especially when a virtual machine is idle. When you use it, this # will go as planned.

  We went recently to the platform from Dell with the Nehalum processors. I have a group of 4 of them and whatever it is currently running on these Dells, consumed host memory is more or less the assigned memory.  Even when the virtual machine is idle at 0 to 66 mhz util.  There is no reserve of mem and actions are set to normal. The config is the same as the vm on the HP platform.  What would cause the vm to consume 100% of memory assigned on the valleys, but not HP? I have chipset cpu to allow the Execute Disable and virtual technology.

  There has been a lot of discussion on this issue and the Nehalem processors.   This is due to the use of large pages of memory.    Take a look at this post for a little history on the issue.

• host resource allocations

  What would be recommended to set for the host resource assignments?  The default values are usually ok?

  Usually don't want to add reservations of memory or CPU, unless the virtual machine requires it.  ESX does a pretty good job of managing the physical resources, so these manual adjustment goes against the process that ESX uses to manage these resources.  That being said, if you have an application that do not support having less than a certain amount of resources to work, then you can use reservations.  Another romanti, do not use, and memory that you allocate will be the top end of the allowed memory.

  If you need anything whatsoever, use actions to create a relative priority of the VM themselves instead of reservations.  List of resources to isolate applications and give them different priorities.  Actions work a little better because there is no predetermined resource allocation, what a priority so that some virtual machines get more resources than others.

• Unable to ping guest operating system host

  Hello

  I've set up the vmware workstation as below:

  [Vmware VPC] guest operating system running on windows server 2003 standard edition.

  Host OS running on windows server 2003 standard edition.

  Used IP address are as follows:

  Guest operating system [VPC Vmware]

  IP address: 192.168.15.74

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: 192.168.15.1

  Host operating system

  IP address: 192.168.15.34

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: 192.168.15.1

  VMNet1

  IP address: 192.168.15.1

  Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

  The network adapter used to connect the guest OS no [Host].

  I was able to ping between host and guest, but unable to do the reverse. [guest to host]

  The gateway can also be ping of two BONES.

  Firewall of these two OS are off.

  Can we ask or advise me about this problem? Thank you.

  Shacky wrote: I need to connect to a device that is on the live network. I need to connect the guest and the device so that they can talk to each other.

  So why you use VMnet1 Host only and does not connect to the physical LAN?  You should use linked by a bridge.

  Suggest that read 14 chapters (setting up a virtual network) & 15 (advanced virtual networking) in the user of the workstation manual in order to gain a better understanding of the Virtual Network Infrastructure.

• Question for the host resource

  Hello

  We have 1 blade that hosts a physical SQL Server on it. The resources of this blade are 10 total to 20 cores processors and 512 GB of RAM on it. We want to virtualize it soon, but we don't have any other guests that we could use this size. We have a few available hosts that are 8 to 16 cores CPU and 256 GB of RAM. I was hoping that I could create a cluster with 2 of these hosts and virtualize the largest physical machine in the cluster. I know that when I virtualize this machine, he will live on one of the hosts at any given time. My question is if these hosts would be 'pool' their resources so that this machine could use more than a single host would offer it. Is it possible at all or not? If not is there another work around for this problem I have?

  We are on vSphere 5.5

  Thank you

  My question is if these hosts would be 'pool' their resources so that this machine could use more than a single host would offer it. Is it possible at all or not? If not is there another work around for this problem I have?

  No, the maximum resource that can use a particular virtual machine will be limited by the maximum available on a single host computer running this VM particular resource. Workaround is to add more physical resources on the host or create the virtual computer with limited resources. Are you sure that your virtual machine uses really 20 the processor cores and 512 GB of RAM? Most of the workload running on the physical server uses all resources.

• The Linux host, guest of WinXP, host has 2 network cards, how to choose which NETWORK adapter to use?

  I know it's something of an FAQ, but several hours spent on these forums and Google search gave me nothing of what works.

  All the solutions I've seen assume Windows as host and (something) as a guest.

  In my case, the host is Linux (CentOS 6.4) and invited is Windows XP.

  The host has two network cards, one on a 10.x.x.x network and the other on 192.168.x.x network.  In the guest virtual network adapter connects to the network 10.x.x.x.  I want it on 192.168.x.x network.

  I would be happy if I added another virtual network card and one of them connected to each network, but two of them connect to the 10.x.x.x network (with 10.x.x.x different IP numbers).

  The solutions I've seen indicate that under the Virtual Machine-> network adapter settings-> network connection, you click on the button "Configure the adapter" and load of come from there.  It would be great, but I have no button "Configure the adapter" or something like that.  I have a button "Advanced", but that just allows me traffic into and out of the butterfly and set a new MAC address, that's all.

  Because the host is Linux, I have also no equivalent to vmnetcfg.exe, at least none that I can find.

  So, where should I go from here?

  VMware Player is the version 6.0.0 (freshly upgraded 5.0.2 this afternoon).  I tried with version 5.0.2 and got the same thing.

  Thank you...

  You will need to use the virtual network Editor, although first you may need to create symbolic links.

  The first symbolic link already exist in a Terminal using the following command. Note: If connected a root the sudo command is not necessary when the.  Tip: Copy and paste the commands!

  ls-l/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

  If it exists, the output should be similar to the following.

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 29 Sep 08:17 / usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware - netcfg->/usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader

  At this point, you can simply use the following command to bring the virtual network Editor.

  sudo/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

  However, if you want easier access creates a symbolic link in: / usr/bin

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  If the symbolic link/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg does not exist, then use the following command.

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

  Then, to facilitate access to create a symbolic link in: / usr/bin

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  To bring up the virtual network in a Terminal editor use the following command.

  sudo vmware-netcfg

  In the virtual network editor disable automatic bypass on vmnet0 by selecting the network map target in the bridge to: list box.

• Keep the host resource pools after leaving a cluster

  I thought is was impossible to keep existing or cluster transplant pools of resources on the host which prefabricated a cluster.

  However, vSphere resources management Guide of reading I found an interesting note:

  Make sure that you remove the cluster host by placing first in maintenance mode. If you
  instead disconnect the host before you delete the cluster, the host keeps the pool resource that
  reflects the hierarchy of the cluster.
  

  It looked like something, so I tried it but no luck, the host had no pool after removed offline.

  Now I'm confused of what this phrase actually means.

  What do you see when you connect with vSphere client directly?

  Usually, I see ONLY the list of the running virtual machine resources... not all resource pool.

  Without virtual machines so I think that all the resource pools are removed.

  Try to disconnect with some VM running (also false VMs).

• Cluster with different host - resource pools hardware?

  Hello

  We have currently three generations of servers at base of AMD in our environment - with different CPU clock speeds.

  Guests are split into three groups and VMs are grouped based on clock speed.

  But frankly, it's a mess to administer.

  We envisage the creation of a single cluster and using pools of resources.

  But CPU resource pools take host speed of the CPU in return?

  - Or they just sure that VMs receive their share of CPU temps on loan-time partial?

  Best regards

  Martin

  Pools of resources sharing works only when there is some conflict of resources.

  -VMs in 'high' will appear on hosts with fast processors? - and get the most MHz?

  The actions are only priority... Then no.

  With a reservation... it depends on how much MHz offers...

  - Or they simply receive a high share of CPU time on a random host?

  By shars Yes...

  But remember the first sentence!

  If you have enough of free resources, all virtual machines are also (for actions).

• What version of Windows host running better on VMWare Workstation 32 or 64?

  Hello

  IM planning to install VMWare Workstation and I want to hear what you guys have to say on what host Windows works better under VMWare Workstation platform.

  Will install Windows on Macbook Pro C2D 4 GB operating system.

  KR,

  Cristiano Botelho

  on a 4 Gb machine 32-bit and 64-bit systems probably all detect 3.x GB RAM just so you can use a good 32-bit or a 64-bit system.

  My first choice staff would be 2003 32-bit, but you will be here other recommendations as well.

  This question usually results in contradictory answers... you have been warned

• Allowing my goal (cRIO) detect disconnection of LAN with host

  Dears

  I develop a standalone application using sbRIO (with RT VI and VI FPGA) and logging data to a host (Host VI) PC...

  the fact is that I need my RT goal to detect if a LAN disconnect has occurred (for example the host pc crashed), he should do a collection of certain data until the connection to the local network is retrieved...

  I don't know if there is something similar to ping between the RT and the host which is done periodically to check the connectivity?

  Help!

  Thanks in advance

  Why not sent a message of "pulse" every second. In this way, if the heart rate does not occur after a certain period, the collection of local data may occur.  Other messages can be sent to recover local data and restore the streaming data.
