DRS Migration threshold output

I am able to get the value of the DRS Threshold migration of the below,

$cluster. ExtensionData.ConfigurationEx.DrsConfig.VmotionRate

According to the value I want to write the output something like below

If the value is 3 = priority apply 1,2 and 3

If value is 2 = priority apply 1,2,3 and 4

Any help?

Try like this

Get-Cluster | Select Name,  HAEnabled,  @{N="HAFailoverLevel";E={    if($_.HAEnabled){$_.HAFailoverlevel}else{"na"}}},  DrsEnabled,  @{N="DRS Migration Threshold";E={    if($_.DrsEnabled){    $x = $_.Extensiondata.ConfigurationEx.DrsConfig.VmotionRate    $t = @()    $fa = @()    $priorities = 1..(6 - $x) | %{      $t += $_      if($_ -eq (6 - $x)){        if($fa.Count -eq 0){          $f = "Apply priority {0}"        }        else{          $f = "Apply priority $([string]::Join(', ',$fa)) and {$($_ -1)}"        }      }      else{        $fa += "{$($_ -1)}"      }    }    $f -f $t}    else{"na"}}}

Threshold setting DRS Migration

Someone knows how to set the threshold for Migration of DRS using Powershell?

This script allows you to change this setting.

Note that the values that you can pass are in the range 1 (aggressive) to 5 (conservative).

This property is only taken into account when the automation level is set to "fully automated".
```
$clusName = 
$rate = 

$clus = Get-Cluster -Name $clusName | Get-View

$clusSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$clusSpec.drsConfig = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDrsConfigInfo
$clusSPec.drsConfig.vmotionRate = $rate
$clus.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task($clusSpec, $true)
```
Make sure that the 2nd parameter is set to $true, it tells the method ReconfigureComputeResource_Task that the configuration change is "extra."

Properties that you pass to the method in the first parameter are added to the existing properties of the DRS.

Threshold of the DRS Migration recommended

Using a threshold of the middle of the road product migration a situation where some hosts are overuse RAM and others are underutilizing. What are the possible caviats / setting of traps to pass a threshold of 4 or 5 migration aggressive?
What types of problems / benefits were seen with this people?
Thank you

VMotion operations take a long time.

But also consume resources: for example, the memory of the VM (for a while) is used on the source and the destination. Also, TSP is lost (and must be re - build if necessary) when a virtual machine is migrated.

So, I agree with previous post to stay on a level balanced or conservative.

Cluster slider configuration

Hello guys,.
I have the following script to change the cursor to cluster. This works if I trained a unique cluster name. When I use the forloop is a failure? any idea?
# Set Variables
$clusName = "XXXXXXX".
$vCenter = "XXXXXXXX".
# Connect to your vCenter
SE connect-VIServer $vCenter
$clusName = get-cluster
foreach ($clust to ($clus = Get-Cluster-name $clusName |)) Get - View)) {}
# Replace DRS more aggressive Slider
# Choose the value of the slider, 1 being more aggressive and 5 being most conservative
$rate = 2
write-host "Changing DRS Migration threshold to more aggressive"
#$clus = get-Cluster-name $clusName | Get-View
$clusSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$clusSpec.drsConfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDrsConfigInfo
$clusSpec.drsConfig.vmotionRate = $rate
$clus. ReconfigureComputeResource_Task ($clusSpec, $true)
}
To reconfigure the settings of the DRs.
Get-Cluster $clusName | DrsEnabled - whole-Cluster: $false - confirm: $false
Get-Cluster $clusName | DrsEnabled - whole-Cluster: $true - confirm: $false
Thank you

And did you try it with

Get-Cluster $clust | Whole-Cluster - DrsAutomationLevel FullyAutomated-confirm: $false

DRS issues

Hello, I have a client who has 2 physical servers and a SAN. they run vSphere 5.5. I wasn't the one that setup it environment, but I am now responsible. Ive been so more things and I noticed that a DRS cluster is configured. DRS is configured as fully automated. I then noticed that about 5-10 times per day a virtual machine is migrated from one host to another.
Servers are speced on two well, Dell Poweredge r.620, E5-2609 Xeon 2 processors in each server, 146 GB memory to each server. About 17 VM distributed between two servers.
Im trying to figure out why DRS continues to move vms. This is not always the same virtual machine every day or at the same time.
There is more then enough memory, most of the servers are allocated around 4 gigs, some with 8, so, not even using half 146 concerts that are in each physical server.
Then I looked at the CPU on the host at the time of migration and it not even using 30%, then watched the virtual machine CPU time, it has been moved and basically the same thing, about 20% cpu. So it's not a CPU problem.
Use of the network seems weak to non-existent at the time of the movements.
I noticed one thing, it's that there's no assign virtual machines with 4 vCPU assigned to them. I know in Vmware 3 cpu scheduling was a problem, but vmware 5 is allot better with it. Could DRS to move the virtual machine around due to the CPU, scheduling issues?
When I check the tasks and events, it just shows that the DRS migrated virtual machine, it does not say why. Is there somewhere else that I should check for this info?
Im not saying this is a problem that the virtual machine is moved because it seem not to be problems with it. But it seems not exaggerated so that he can move things around so much. I would just understand why go here
I wrote to allot, thanks for any input
Mike

Can you tell me the threshold of Migration?

VM Server migrates permanently around the environment

Hi there-
I have a virtual server (Windows 2003) machine that constantly vmotions / migrates to different hosts around the environment, sometimes twice a day. It is used as a repository of backup data and causes problems when a backup is written for her, and she begins the migration in the middle of the backup. What are my troubleshooting steps, why the server feels the need to move constantly and how can I stop it from doing this? Thank you for your help.

DRS will migrate a guest based on the configuration of your cluster migration threshold. If you don't want the virtual machine to move, change your threshold settings, or maybe think about disable DRS for this guest.

For see you settings, change the settings for the cluster - VMware DRS.

notification by email for DRS vmotion

is it possible to set an alarm that will send an e-mail notification when DRS migrates a virtual machine?

sure... Create an alarm to monitor Virtual Machines. Your relaxation will be that Drs VM migrated, status alerts, Actions by e-mail.

How to: create an alarm when a VM (or VM) is migrated?

Hello
Someone has already tried to create an alarm in vCenter where you would get messages when a specific virtual machine is vmotioned?
I know there are rules related to migration, but I couldn't make them work.
I want to use these alarms as a way to follow a specific set of virtual machines (Nexus VSM modules). (I configure the alarm to send me an email). Ideally I hope of the email contains the new location for the virtual machine.
Thank you

VM seems to restart after DRS vmotions to different host

One of my vm has been migrated to host a (esx 3.5) to host b (esx 3.5). When I checked the log of the virtual machine (32-bit RHEL5), all services seemed to have been restart without the virtual machine after being powerrd, handed on, shut down or a loss of power. I have not seen this before... what caused this and how it can be prevented.

SQL 2012 still on the use of affinity rules

Hey guys,.
I use SQL 2012 alwaya time on in a virtual, but so far, it is not configured as best practices and environment I wanted to change that.
At the moment I have no DRS rules in place so it can happen that two virtual machines running on the same host and it's something I want to avoid.
However, my big problem is that I only got a SQL license for two hypervisors and best practices talked about four hosts who are needed to achieve my goal.
Here is what I intend to implement:
-Affinity rule machine virtual-VM to separate two virtual machines
-Affinity VM host rule which VM1 MUST run on ESX1
-Affinity VM host rule that VM2 MUST run on ESX2
This configuration is a good idea or could / should I do something different?
What I found that all the features how for example the evacuation and HA should still work?
There are many more ESX servers in this group and they will be used in the case of an outtage, right?
Also there is a dev environment that looks the same. I could include the hosts in the same VM-Host affinity rules or should I create new ones?
BTW. I am using vCenter and ESX 5.5.0.
Thank you very much!
See you soon
Nicolai

Affinity rules those you intend to sense. These rules will not be those virtual machines to be on the same host most of the time.

Note:

1 rule of VM host is configured as "SHOULD", in extreme cases, DRS can break these rules. However, in the next invocation of DRS, DRS will try to resolve the violations.

2. Note that: when you keep either the host in maintenance (ESX1 or ESX2) mode, you must manually migrate the VM to another host due to the virtual-VM anti rule machine affinity. DRS even in full auto mode, VM will not be migrated automatically. This will apply only if there are only 2 host in the cluster.

3. Yes, HA should well with that: however HA is not aware of the rules 'EXPECTED' and in the case of host failure it can not respect 'SHOULD' rule.

4 rule anti-affinite VM - VM can be sensitized HA using the advanced option. Let me know if you want to help with that.

5. Yes, failure of other hosts in the cluster will be used but please updated on impact due to rules & licenses.

6. "There is also an environment-dev which looks the same." I did not follow what exactly you mean here:

7 migration threshold settings DRS is also important.

8 DRS gives priority to the prevention of violations of anti-affinity rules machine virtual-VM that violations of rules of affinity. (it's just for your info.)

Nevertheless,.

1. If ESX1 falls down or affinity rule VM host that VM1 MUST run on ESX1 gets violated: VM1 can be migrated to other hosts in the cluster. As you have no licenses (more than 2) SQL, how it would be dealt with (I'm not very updated on the SQL licenses)

2 point above applies to the second rule of VM HOST as well.

ESX Cluster load - wise host...

Hi all
I have 2 groups with the ESX hosts.
Now I need to get the report for each configuration of cluster and cluster has HOSTs.configuration... I want the report as report cluster resource and the cluster HOST... same

It will produce most of the properties, except for the performance tab entries.

I didn't understand what you wanted, the values presented in these graphs?

Also note that the two properties of the deviation are marked as "NA".

The exact method of calculation for these 2 has not been published as far as I know.

Automation level setting

Anyone has a clear idea for the below description on the automation level setting
"the automation level setting the default behavior of the VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) for virtual machines. Possible values are fullyAutomated manual partiallyAutomated.

These are the settings of automation for DRS-

Manual - DRS will give you a prioritized list of what host to start a virtual machine on and you decide that your virtual machine DRS cluster host starts on and offer migration balance the load.

Partially automated - DRS will choose the optimum host to start the virtual machine and will always offer you a hierarchical list of suggested migration

Fully automated - DRS will choose the host that is optimal to start the virtual machine and automatically migrate the virtual machine, but you still hae control by setting the migration threshold.

How to set the processor affinity and memory.

We have explicit recommendations of our application provider to set the processor affinity for one of our virtual machines running their product. However, this process is not quite clear to me despite the available docs. We are company ESXi 5.1 more.
By looking at the tab "resources" for the parameters of the virtual computer you see under CPU:
Actions (I would do that quite high so that it never goes to confront other good?)
Booking
Limit
The requirement is to set aside x cores for the virtual machine while it is never claim to waiting or resource. They would also potentially implement affinity memory related to the same socket for the effectiveness of the NUMA node.
We have a host with 2 8-core processors with 256 GB of memory. I'm not worried about the affinity of memory. This should be as simple as the control that the 'reserve any memory comments' correct?
Is it simpler just set up a pool of resources for cela CPU and memory? The only concern I have is it if the processor uses the same memory channels. We do not want a CPU into a socket using the channel memory of another plug for this virtual machine.
And it's too late to go back to physics for this system.

Eeghads! Just FYI, the processor affinity is almost never what a seller really wants, even if they think they do. I can imagine there are valid use cases, but I spoke with several vendors who recommend this, and they were all wrong.

From what I understand in your summary, the application is sensitive to the latency of the CPU. If the physical compute capacity, actions and reservations will address the latency. Latency is the only reason why they want to set the affinity, or are there others? If there is other, know what they are, because there is a good chance to those who are also invalid reasons. The processor affinity tends to exacerbate the problems you're having with loans time CPU and can often cause latency application MORE CPU than that without it. Yes, you can set up reserves of CPU to address these issues for this particular virtual machine, but you made life more difficult for the CPU scheduler. DRS involved in the loan time CPU, which means she won't necessarily move these other virtual machines on this host, even if they are jointly stop like crazy. While we're on the subject, this virtual machine would need to be excluded from automatic DRS migration, since you cannot vMotion with the processor affinity configured. It also means the virtual machine must be powered whenever his current host goes into maintenance mode.

In any case, verification 'reserve any memory comments' will not affect memory locality. Will just leave all the pages of virtual memory with physical memory pages (another side effect interesting is that creates the virtual machine is no longer a pagefile on the boot). If you REALLY have to set the affinity to the CPU/memory, memory affinity can be set by changing the settings of the VM, the tab "resources", select Advanced Memory, and you can configure NUMBER here. In addition, if you had already seen it, the processor affinity is configured in the tab "resources", under Advanced CPU.

I highly recommend you challenge the seller and ask if reservations CPU are sufficient. The planner of UC is already aware NUMA. VCPUs how they ask, anyway? Unless they want to more than 8, it is unlikely to split the virtual machine.
