Disable / enable sharing (salting) memory in the host profile

vSphere / esxi 5.1

Does anyone know where is memory privileged share between virtual machines in the profile of the host?

I disabled the salting after it has been put a patch last year, but now my cluster complains of being non-compliant and I cannot find the setting in the profile of the host.

No matter which help out me?

Looking for a Mem.ShareForceSalting in the profile of the host. Allows to set the value of salt.

The current value can be discovered by esxcli system parameters list advanced o/Mem/ShareForceSalting. I guess you want to change to 1 (default is 2)

You can edit this profile host to change the right profile---> advanced configuration Option---> Clik---> Add Profile. Create a new profile with OptionProfile at the bottom of this sheet.

Expand OptionProfile---> Advanced Option---> select "configure a fixed option.

On the first box, enter Mem.ShareForceSalting and on the second box set to 1 (I changed the salt value (default) 2-1)

Then follow the standard-setting process and application of profile

  • Write problems block the memory of the host

    Hi all

    I work with a sbRIO 9639 and followed what I thought to be the recommended procedure to write in the block of memory to the host computer via (see diagram attached host and FPGA implementation). However the operation of the aforementioned code does not actually change the memory and what is available is rather just the previous values (which are persistent).

    However, I am able to write to block the memory directly from the vi FPGA (one) and get the results that I would wait if I then run the host after writing the correct values. In fact, I can now see these values from the host using the read/write Protocol.

    Does anyone have an idea on the cause of this problem? I followed the implementation to write and read from the memory in the examples, but have not found any success.

    I can't possibly comment code NIs because I don't know who wrote, why and for what purpose.

    You can write to the control whenever you want, but if you don't actually read it yet (mark) then you're never going to see the new values.

    Polling station should be avoided on the host programs, but it is not inevitable and normal on FPGA.

    Put the entire program within another loop, and then try again.

  • How to increase the amount of memory to the host system?

    Hello gentlemen,

    I am new to VMware ESXi 5, and I want to know how to increase the amount of memory for the host system?

    I saw in the Configuration menu of the host, my ESXi host has only 77.3 MB. I think it's wrong, it's too little amount of memory dedicated to the host system. It is not a (Properties) button after I was able to change the amount of memory host system.

    Please, be so kind, help me!

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the community,

    where do you see this amount of memory?

    The total amount of memory installed on the host can be seen in the summary, tab (resources) with the host country is selected in the inventory.

  • Question about the use of the memory of the host and the VM memory limit.

    Well, I have so vCenter PAHO running in my environment.  My host started to have a little low on available memory and the server of the OPs was the biggest pig, so I thought I could try to corral it a little.  Here is some info documents and help than I thought.

    ESX host has pointed out, looking at the level of the ops vc server:

    Host of Mem - MB: 7364

    Guest member - %: 3

    With the virtual machine has highlighted:

    Consommé of host MB memory: 7378

    Client active memory: 573 MB

    So I understand these numbers as such: the memory of the host is the amount of physical memory that has been allocated to the vm, and the memory of comments is the amount of memory allocated is really active in the guest operating system being used by the process.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    My solution was to set a limit on this virtual machine with 4 GB of memory, freeing up about 3 GB of memory to the host, but after the change is made, consumed host memory never came down.

    What Miss me?  Thanks in advance for the help.

    I understand that. Can you turn off this guy and turn on the power?

  • Logic memory of the host?

    Hello

    I would like to clarify that if a host like win xp2 32-bit pc have installed 6 GB mem will vmware ws 7 able to use this left of memory, I mean 2 GB as operating system 32-bit only capable of supporting 4 GB max?

    I know the 64-bit operating system is the best option, but I just wanted to confirm.

    Thank you :-D

    Guests cannot see everything more memory that the host can see. If you want to use more than 3 GB (+ a little), use a 64 bit OS.

  • How to configure the local and logging remotely using the host profiles, not with advance options

    Help, please

    Hello

    Local and remote syslog feature can be configured for a cluster of similar hosts using the host profiles.

    For more information, see guide installation and Set Up Syslog of the section of the Interface of host profiles in vSphere Installation.

    Connect the Server vCenter by using the vSphere Client.

    Click home.

    Under the administration section, click host profiles.

    Create a new profile or modify an existing profile.

    In the Edit Profile dialog box, set one or more of the five configuration options.

    If you configured using esxcli or advanced syslog configuration options and this has captured a host of reference, 5 configuration options are already visible in the Advanced Configuration option section.

    If syslog has not been previously configured, right-click the section of Advanced Configuration options and add a profile for each of the five configuration options.

    Save the profile and assign it to the hosts.

  • Memory of the host indicated in vCOPS v vCenter

    Hello

    One of the things that I find vCOPS is that a lot of things I thought I knew now goes out the window.

    Before vCOPS, we relied on vCenter and when the host started to use memory 80 or 85% report that it was time to add more RAM.
    It seemed that many people use this figure as a reference point.

    vCenter reports now that my guests are sitting at 90 and I get the occasional alarm.
    Normally I would have placed an order and more material. I have this presentation vCOPS VMware which tells me that some said vCenter is accurate.

    vCOPS says (under Details > workload) that my workload memory resembles 32%.

    Memory | Use meter displays the host memory as is vCenter but memory | demand is actually 32% of and this is the number I need.

    On the one hand, it's cool that everything is green in vCops, on the other hand, I'm nervous because fibrotic vCenter.

    I have to start ignoring vCenter, now that I have vCOPS running?


    See you soon

    Well, I said that the issue of memory management is complicated.   We try to make easy to use Ops vC, but obviously some of the complications come through.

    In any case, Yes, I think that it's ok to ignore what tells VC.  Since you are always run things a certain way according to VC, it is probably better to start overcommitting slowly.  (Evolutionary change is always better than revolutionary.)  But the general response is that Yes, VC alerts are generally much too conservative and aren't really take a variety of performance data into account.

  • the host profiles and CVS?

    We have hosted 5300/5400 severa intels in a cluster of evc.  We did a profile of the host of one of these servers.  Then we added a new server intel 5600 to VC, but not in the evc cluster. We then applied the restarted host profile. We were surprised to see that vmware allowed us to vmotion virtual machine to a host in the evc cluster to 5600 host without complaining.

    My question is the hsot profiles modify the host server to match the settings of evc also?

    VCA is not included in the profile of the host. VCA is actually CPUID masking at the virtual machine level. If it is not a surprise that you can VMotion VM of EVC cluster to more recent host.

  • How can I disable enable "Run As Administrator" of the web browser?

    I inadvertently changed Firefox to "Run As Administrator" status a month earlier, trying to accomplish something irrelevant, now, when I had no undersatnding of what I was getting myself into. I assigned it ONLY for Firefox, by right-clicking. It is a problem of NTFS permissions. I tried to learn just to reverse this trend and take FFox its normal state where I can open it without having to click a box 'Continue' through the frame. Area of the user, or need to enter a user name and password when a Standard ACCT. No one else using my laptop but me - I just split the thing in 3 diff. accounts for purposes of mode of life/segregation.

    I uninstalled FFox, choosing to NOT preserve settings, cookies, and etc and started from scratch with a new re - install. and it made no difference. It still retains security on the icon shield, running in admin. mode. What now?   Thank you...

    Hello

    From your problem description, I understand that whenever you try to start firefox, Windows ask permission.

    If there was any misunderstanding, let me know.

    Please follow the steps below to resolve this issue

    Right-click on the firefox icon, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.

    Under privilege level, uncheck the box run this program as an administrator check box, and then clickapply.

    Now, click on show settings for all users

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Under privilege level, uncheck the box run this program as an administrator checkbox and then click OK.

  • Questions on the host memory usage

    I was wondering if someone could give some insight on the following situation. We vSphere host set upwards with 32 GB of RAM. On this, we have 10 VMware View desktops and a couple Server VMs. We have configured each in order to have 2 GB of RAM. The host is showing an alarm for the host memory usage, but if you look at each of the virtual machines Windows XP, memory is granted way superior to the active memory. We have no reserve set and actions are set to normal. I wonder why the system reports a memory constraint when the largest part of the memory is alocating is not active.  In addition, the shared memory is showing 0. So this means that the memory page sharing does not locate? Am I missing something?

    ESX has called fresh General.  A virtual machine has 2 ways to manage memory.  a physical machine has one, physical RAM, and when this physical RAM disappeared, the operating system is left with only one option, Exchange.

    VM works the same way.  A material divides the virtual machine into small sections, only they have hard limits.  So your VM is 2G, the operating system and virtual machine sees only 2 GB of RAM.  When this RAM was gone, the operating system must decide where the extra RAM is come.  Since it is a Vritual machine, the RAM of the machine can ALSO be swapped.

    So, when you create a virtual machine, and you do not have reservations, you say that the Virtual Machine to get the RAM of the host, if this fails, get from a pagefile on the RAM disk.  If not THEN the operating system can use internal swap, but ESX requires a virtual machine to use his 'balloon' driver to lead you to the top of RAM internal and fool the operating system into thinking that he MUST use internal swap. It is probably where you are confused.

    The use of the RAM that you see is the virtual machine, taking all THE RAM of the host.  If the host has say 48GB of RAM, and you have the run of the 10 mV, which is more than 20 GB of RAM in use.  There is a LOT of RAM left other virtual machines, so in this case, the memory of the host is high (use), but not ACTIVE, which means allocated for the virtual machine, but the OS is not really 'use' for the moment.

    When you add multiple virtual machines, you will see this fall.  Keep in mind they can really share the memory too, so among those 20 VM with VM similar (like Windows), they are all windows (suggests) and 30% of that share these 20 VM, so 30% 20 GB is 7 GB, so 13 GB that is actually used, so in a perfect world, ideal conditions your host should be about 15 GB used probably less active 6 GB, but EACH VM shows 2 GB of memory host, right?

    It's normal.  When one approaches the limit of host memory that these figures will change, from OS and need and that the BONE... and to complicate things even more, reservations and VM limits and priority will ALSO skew the numbers.

  • How to disable the device Alias in the profile of the host

    Hi all

    Could someone tell me how this is acutally done, documentation VMwares seems to go in the circle on the subject:

    VMware KB: Remediation of host profile fails with an error device alias

    Apparently if you have guests who are not identical, but you still want to use the host profiles to configure items on a new host you can disable the device alias but they never say how.  The closest thing is to change the profile of the host and remove the sub profiles do not require you, I found, but it does not work.

    Any help with this would be greatly affect.

    Thanks again,

    Thought that it

    Just wrap everyone is facing it:

    Simply remove the Alias Configuration of device in the profile of the host and this error will disappear.  Yet only once if your hosts are not exactly the same.

  • The host memory, comments and memory

    I'm the stage of tests to understand how RAM is run on a host ESXi 5.x.

    I have create a new Windows Server 2008 R2 with 16 GB of RAM and installed VM.

    The virtual machine is running wit a logged-on user and no activity.

    vSphere client reports Host MEM - MB as 11325 (why not 16000?) and guest mem % 53% (decreasing very sloowly).

    Reports of Windows task manager memory is 1 GB.

    How can I read these data?

    What is the amount of RAM that is really used?

    How can I change the data in vSphere client, as the old good F5 produced no visible results?

    Hi guy,

    If the host is not constrained memory, when you turn the virtual computer, assign the needs of memory from the operating system. Then, the memory is not recovered because it didn't claim to host you.

    I don't know why you see only 11000GB... can you give us screen printing, for this virtual machine, "resources Alocation"?

    Installed Vmware tools in the virtual machine?

    When you host is limited, so act balooning and the memory of the host for this computer virtual will decrease.

    Kind regards

  • Windows 2008 using all the it is assigned the host memory

    Hi all

    We have just started using ESX 4. Using the Update Manager I applied update 1 and all patches.

    I installed a couple of servers, most of them are windows 2003. However, I installed a windows 2008 machine and awarded 8 GB of memory.

    As you can see in the screenshot the guest uses very little, but still it shows that it uses 8 GB memory of the host.

    We had this same behavior with an earlier version of ESXi 4, but that is resolved now. (I don't know how, but I guess that through patch).

    There is not much to find on this, but I can't imagine I'm the only one, or I'm doing something wrong (also not entirely unlikely )

    Someone at - it ideas?

    This is an expected behavior of Windows from 6.0 (Vista / 2008).  See this article on Superfetch.
