ESX3.5 CPU waiting performance counter

After watching several virtual machines on multiple ESX hosts, I noticed that the waiting CPU meter always hovers around 95-100%. Is this normal? I can't find many good resources about this counter.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In order to obtain the performance counter for a managed entity, you must have following:

    1. get the managed object to the PerformanceManager object reference

    2 get the ProviderSummary object for this entity. It also helps determine if the current or summary statistics are supported.

    3. get performance metrics available for the entity. In a given time interval, the statistics will be available for these measures.

    4. the performance statistics for the entity desired metrics extracted from the step above queries

    5 examine the returned data object to get the statistics.

    Attached, is an example of Java, which takes the name of the virtual machine, run the steps above and print the available counters and their stats. You can take the help of this example and can improve to get statistics for all the virtual machines in your host application.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Understanding CPU % WAIT counter

    Hey all,.

    I was doing a little rummage in resxtop on our ESXi 4.1 U1 guests and noticed on the screen of cpu that all VMs on a given host had % queue time in hundreds (anywhere from 200 to 400). We have not received any complaints of the virtual machine is slow and time RDY % was less than 1 on all virtual machines. Make sure that it wasn't an IO issues I checked the disk and network performance and everything looks good there. The ESX host in question has 8 logical cores (dual quad core) and is running 9 vCPU unique of the virtual computer. I guess the question is, a queue time high % is a problem in our environment?

    Thanks for any help,

  • continuous performance counter data

    Hi all

    I need assistance in the collection of data from a counter entry. I have a flow sensor that creates an output up to 600 Hz. frequency I plugged on the entry of a counter on my DAQ hardware, and in Labview, I plugged the DAQ assistant to a curve of waveform in a while loop. When I run it, it runs until it is among the samples and then gives the error 200284 and then shows the frequency over time on the chart.

    However, I would like to see the frequency over time in real time on the chart, while it is running, and I would also like to run continuously until I hit the stop button. Can someone explain how this is done?

    Best regards

    Allard

    Allard,

    you stop the acquisition in the loop. This is why buy you a single package (of 1000 samples) and finish the acquisition. After that, the loop runs immediately create 100% CPU load on a carrot and basically doing nothing except waiting for the stop button to be pressed.

    Learn more about the shift registers to store job and put the task to stop outside the loop. In the loop, modify the terminal to stop the loop itself to stop if the stop button has been pressed OR if an error in the acquisition took place.

    Your current implementation will wait 1000 samples and display in the chart. The next update will completely replace the old conspiracy. According to the speed, you will get this behavior (@600 Hz about once every 2 seconds). You can do the following:

    • Reduce the number of samples for example 100

    • Use a graphic instead of waveform graphic waveform (for 'history')

    or

    • Set up a ring buffer using a shift register to update a chart similar to a graphic waveform

  • CPU wait in trace files?

    Hello world

    I have a doubt: cpu events (for example "logical reading of cache bytes") enter trace files when tracing with level 12?

    Thanks in advance

    Laughing out loud

    This isn't a wait event "what I expect."

    It is a ' what I'm working on ' while the processor.

    Source is statistics of session.

    Session/state event tells you what you're doing.

    Session statistics will tell you why you are doing something.

    Or, actually, "logical reading of cache bytes" are more a summary measure. Other session statistics will contribute to this and you say why you read this for hiding, for example if it is a complies then the different categories of uniform get reasons, etc.

    Look - the performance problem for this cube will be almost totally related to IO of existing blocks. Other proposed script improvements, your only hope is to accelerate IO.

    I assume that your key cache is large enough to hold the entire index. And your data cache is at least as big (does not actually to be which is great).

    Try to create a ram disk and moving the cube to see if she becomes faster.

    Finally - are you really getting the material you are? What is a virtual machine? What else is running on this subject?

    Finally, rember it takes a woman 9 months to give birth to a new baby. 9 women to share the experience will not reduce it to 1 month. It's basically why nominal increase of calc and decreases intensity does not help.

    Can you define information messages on and see how many calculations are carried out? It does not resemble a large number of blocks are presented (see sparse calculations in information msg) makes me more in more suspicious about the index cache.

  • vCenter explanation of Performance counter

    Hello people,

    I'm a little confused with the performance graph in vCenter. I have HP Proliant BL460C with 8 X 3 GHz cpu. Of which I assigned 2 cpu's to a virtual machine. Now, when I go to the graphics performance and refine the use of the processor in MHz it shows maximum CPU in MHz as 4000. In my view, that it should be 6000 MHz.

    Can someone please explain this? or I do something wrong?

    untitled.JPG

    The side MHz of the graph changes depending on the virtual machine CPU usage. This is not say that 4000 is the max, but rather keep the graphic scaling with the data that is relevant.

    It can be confusing when using MHz and % as the side % will always go up to 100, but the side MHz will not always up to the value x vCPU MHz Jepp.

  • First Pro CS5 never uses more than 15% of CPU, so perform much more slowly than first 6.5!

    Hello.

    I make videos of marriage for a while. My material included map DV500DVD and first 6.5 CPU Core 2 Duo E8400, 2 GB of RAM, Windows XP SP1 (DV500 does not work with SP2 or SP3).

    The above system is quite old and absolutely not usable for HD videos. So, I decided to build another machine. The configuration is the following:

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    M/b: Asus LGA 1155, H67 chipset.

    CPU: Intel Core i7 - 2600K

    RAM: 4 GB DDR3

    HARD drive: 2 x 64 GB SSD, 2 TB SATA (RAID) 4 x (all drives connected to separate the controller PCI-E chipset fault intel isn't a problem here)

    I recently downloaded and installed the first Pro CS5 trial version, to see how he adapts to my needs. And I'm very disappointed. I started the first, chosen preset widescreen DV, inserted two static images on the timeline and made a mix alpha between them. Then put movie export. Not only it took too long to make, but it only used a nucleus, and the CPU usage is only 15%. Just out of curiosity, I installed first 6.5 on the same system, and he did this task about 10 times faster!

    That is, limitation of the trial version, or just first Pro CS5 cannot be used with this modern processor?

    Thanks in advance,

    Alex

    I can understand your experience... After I installed Windows 7 and CS5 Production Premium, adding another 8 Gig of Ram for my PC, dying on the fact that my Nvidia Quadro FX 4600 is not able to use the reading mercury and literally hours of waiting for spending returns, on a hunch, and after reading about someone else who did the same thing.  Finally, I took my old PP CS3 and installed on alongside first CS5. To my surprise, with 64-bit OS, CS3 running and makes exactly the same content about 4 times faster, does not idiosyncratic seizures slow when moving clips in the timeline, no white on the error screen "not responding" messages, etc.etc. I have no problem with After Effects or Photoshop CS5, they work fine, but first CS5 is close not functional as it gets. A: 30 minutes with some effects of magic bullet, even native capture HDV format takes about 10 minutes with PPCS3... and about 45 minutes with CS5. CS3 also reads smoother and barely stutters, so that I have to sit and to return with CS5 because of choking in order to continue working. One post suggested that I don't have enough gas in the machine, dual core AMD Opterons 3.2 GHZ, disks, 16 Gig ram working 7200 and 10 000 rpm... but cannot see how CS5 can maybe make CS3 on the same stage. What I'm missing here? I'm not whining just baffled.

  • Host and guest CPU and memory count

    Hello

    I just installed ESXi 3.5 on a DELL PowerEdge R710 with 2 processors to 4 cores of each and 8 GB of memory. I created a Windows 2000 Advanced Server client in this regard. The issue I'm having is the inability to allocate 8 vCPUs with 8 GB of RAM at the prompt. The setting for processors made 4 and although I have allocate 8 GB, the guest operating system shows only 4 GB. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    With ESX 3.5 the maximum number of virtual processors, you can assign the machine virtual is 4 - If you want to have a VM with 8 virtual processors, you must buy vSphere (ESX/ESXi 4) with ENterprise Plus license allows you to run a virtual machine with 8 virtual processors - in terms of memory if the o/s is 32-bit by default can only access 4 GB.

  • Waiting for CPU: what exactly does that mean?

    Hi all

    I worked on this database (11.2.0.3 on AIX 6.1) try to improve the performance of certain lots of an ERP system developed by my company. These are all processes that work very well in other environments, but here the clock times are horrible for the load and I was seeing 10% CPU, 90% CPU waiting for almost every process. This is the last section of a very long trace file where you can see the invisible "wait."

    I know not how to do this: if I run something in the OS with a higher priority than to Oracle, what I will get. "Lack of processor" according to me, is the name for it. My question is: what else can cause this? If the OS say that nothing was on the computer, how can I study the root cause?

    Your trace file contains 25 million lines, that is a significant amount of write operations, to be compared with the information that reads one-piece 620K consume dry 4858.
    It is necessary to note that writing in the trace file leads to loss of time only when it is caused between measure of elapsed time from a visit to the database. But even if the write operation is due to the outside to measure the time of the call for a database (for example, information about a call, as FETCH #) it can be inside some call parent and will be included in the duration of the call of the mother.
    If you are interested in the details of this process, I prepare an article on this topic in my blog.

    I would therefore recommend to reproduce a similar load without follow-up.

  • waiting for CPU and cpu ready

    Hello

    We have very high CPU wait times on our virtual machines (19000ms).

    We have also very low cpu ready time (20ms)

    I did notice on one of the 2 networks performance issues

    I was hoping someone could give, in terms laymans terms, a definition of waiting for cpu and cpu ready.   The technical definitions I've seen online were not very clear to me.

    Also - who would be initially high such a timeout of the CPU on the virtual machines?  It seems to be that the same time limit on all the VMs on the server whether or not they have 1 vcpu and memory 2 or how much they were awarded.

    Info about our server:

    HP Proliant ML350G6

    CPU cores: 4CPus x 2,555 GHz

    Processor type: Intel Xeon processor x 5550 @ 2.67 Ghz

    processor socets 1:

    Logical processors: 8

    Hyperthreading: assets

    No vm: 33 (especially Server 2003 Server VM)

    Enjoying any assistance.

    Kind regards

    Simon

    CPU wait time is the time a virtual machine did get on demand, but the processor has

    Nothing in the process and so the CPU to simply waiting for then the time scheduled for the virtual

    machine clicks by.

    CPU Ready is the time that the virtual machine is ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical processor.

    Bascially ready cpu the prompt is queued on the host computer, waiting for cpu means that the host is queued on the prompt.

  • Performance memory Overhead counter provides data different memory Overhead summary (VIC)

    I posted the same question differently in the thread of execution, so I'm sorry to repeat myself, but I can't find an explanation in the docs.

    Looking at the values of memory performance counters, I get values such as '58.22 ".  Check that the performance of VIC tab returns the same information, so I don't know it is correct.

    Form summary at the VIC, there is a different , "Summary of memory overload" statistic, but it is usually around 120-140.  I would like to know what is the difference, and why two different (though probably related) data types, use the same label.  Ideally, it would be good to know how to convert one to the other.

    Thank you

    -David

    The overload memory under the Summary tab that you are referring to in VI Client is different from the Performance counter "overload".

    The overload memory under the Summary tab is the amount of resources of memory (in bytes) that will be used by the VM above its requirements of memory comments. This value is set if and only if the virtual machine is saved on a host that supports the functions of memory resource allocation. As off voltage mV, this is the minimum of overhead to power on the VM on the registered host.

    While the overload of the meter memory is the amount of memory overhead consumed by the virtual machine.

    Please select the meter memory to change the Chart Options tab performance to the value of the counter.

  • Is there a difference first and after the Performance of the effects in terms of CPU intel or AMD?

    Is there a difference first and after the Performance of the effects in terms of CPU intel or AMD?  Forget about the speed issue, assume that the processors are of comparable speed and also assume that the system is built beyond recommended configuration.  When it comes to reliablility and performance of each processor, work and managing data with CS5 is there a difference?  I am looking to build a computer with several CPU i7 so if outside as well (unless you can convince me that don't have a single processor is better than building with multiple) thanks for reading and I look forward to any help you can give me!  Bow.

    The test of disk i/o is 59; 58; 00, the MPEG2-DVD test is 2; 36; 04 and H.264 test - BR is 52 00

    What does it mean in real life? Hard to say how to look your timelines of real life and how leading practice comparisons, but I think that the H.264 timeline is much more demanding that 95% of users would meet. If you have CS5, you can download the ZIP file and take a look at all the effects and transitions used with alterations of Bezier curves in many and with all the different formats used in a single edit.

    There is one thing that you should keep in mind. The MPEG2-DVD H.264 - BR are directed to display the CPU/GPU performance and memory, but in real life, exporting to BRD involves also large (20 + GB) exports the disk, one of the things not measured in these two tests. This means that the high score of Juggernaugt in the H.264 test is only part of the story. We must also study the performance of disk i/o when exporting large files.

    My disappointing score on the H.264 test is caused by the lack of carrots, the memory and the cache limited on the 920. OTOH, price/performance wise I know that I prefer my setup the Juggenaugt.

Maybe you are looking for
