ESXi 5.5 VM CPU limit

• ESXi 6.0 physical CPU change

  Hi all

  This is my first post in the forums and will gladly start to participate more now that I'm working a lot more with vmware products

  My question concerns the change of physical processors allowed for ESXi 6. If my memory doesn't fail me ESXi 5.5 has been licensed for 2 processors physical (we have two processors in our ms), and we started to update some of them to 6.0. Now, after having entered the ESXi license, we noticed a difference (large and small) in what he says that he has been approved for...

  

  Someone please tell me they just made a mistake, because if they did, it's a step unhappy return in my opinion = / (and we will have to keep 5.5 on our servers)

  Thank you all!

  Kind regards

  Martin

  I just ran a quick test. I installed ESXi 6.0 with a single processor as a virtual machine and is joined with the license of the hypervisor. He showed "1 physical CPU" as a license. I then shut down the machine virtual and added a second processor. After starting the virtual machine, he showed "2 physical processors", as a license (as expected).

• ESXi and virtual machine CPU cores

  The question I would ask is the ESXi processor cores and relationship of the virtual machine CPU. Is it recommended to assign some carrots to VM (this is assuming that the VM needs CPU extra for reasons of performance)? We will use the following example. If the host ESXi lies the VM has 40 cores of the processor is recommended to assign carrots in 2, 4, 8 format to the virtual machine? And that's okay assign 6 since 40 is not divisible by 6.

  jrmunday: when it comes to carrots vs sockets, they are there for purpioses licenses, other than one vcpu is a vcpu

  soda: each kernel is a vcpu, so you should not worry of the underlying hardware and the divisibbility... It is not a mathematical formula to be used on the basis of underlying archatecture. the only reason underlying archatecutre would be important is VCA differences, not the underlying differences.

• ESXi 5 not recognizing cpu Intel Q6600 with 4 cores

  Howdy all,

  I tried to solve this problem for about a month now, even bought a CPU replacement that concerns me that I got too old 'default' Core2 Duo.

  In any case; I had a work ESX installation I know I upgraded to 5 (until I made a stupid mistake with an rm command and the base of a hypervisor folder - I was looking in the driver files, curiosity etc..). I am now questioning my own sanity as well as the idea that I had updated it beyond 4.1, I was sure that... but I digress again. I tried reinstalling already installing a larger hard drive and ESX is installed and then "moved" my VM to host data store. However whenever I try to install ESX, it recognizes more than one heart... It's driving me crazy! In the vSphere Client summary inventory I "processor Sockets: 1" and "Core per Socket: 1"...» I'll try this weekend with a hard drive from a work ESX install another motherboard... However I prefer not having to buy new parts/server this time until I'm sure that my classes are defective.

  All the advice offered to get my installation re-run would be welcome...

  Thanks in advance,

  A few things to try.

  • Reset the BIOS to factory default and re - apply date/time and startup preferences.
  • Try a new installation to update ESXi 5 1 on another drive and see if anything shows up properly
  • Try to restore the bios to 2001 or in 1901.

• vSphere Hypervisor CPU limit?

  Free vSphere Hypervisor has a CPU or a kernel limit by computer?

  I searched but cannot find information on other versions.

  Thank you.

  I don't think that it will limit the number of physical processors in the machine.

• ESXi 5.1 - 2 TB limit has passed yet?

  So I didn't see it in the section "What's new" on the product page, because it should be obvious that all the BONES in the world can access and use volumes greater than 2 TB. Regardless of my hypothesis, I'd still like confirmation that this is the case for ESXi 5.1, since ESXi 4.x loved strangely > 2 TB volumes.

  So, can I use a 3 TB hard drive yet?

  What is Troy he speaks is the maximum size of a file VMDK with that 2 TB - 512 K, also the maximum size of a VMFS Partition is 64 to, you're talking about the size of the disks Phyiscal comprising the VMFS Partition, however

  as long as your Bios supports GPT disks (disks more than 2 TB) then Yes you can.

• CPU limit hypervisor FREE license?

  I can't find a definitive answer to this question.

  If we install FREE hypervisor version (not license for the bulk / enterprise) will it work on a 4-socket server?

  Is there any limit for FREE vsphere hypervisor 5?

  As far as I know the restrictions for editing free hypervisor are:

  • limited to 32 GB of physical RAM
  • limited to 32 GB vRAM
  • CLI access is read-only
  • no SNMP support

  I'm not aware of any restrictions on the number of processors or Cores.

• ESXi (4.0.0) not to award all the CPU capacity?

  This is my first post of the community - apologies for display on ESXi 3.5, but my problem is with version 4.

  I'm under ESXi 4.0 build 171294 on an HP Proliant DL380 G5 Dual 2.66 Ghz Dual Core CPU with 9 GB of RAM.  I have a bit of exposure to VMWare Workstation and ESX, but its amazing how much you realize that you don't know until you try to build your own.  I send an apology through the cosmos for all those of you who have heard me scream "how the hell people paid so much money to configure ESX?" after the disc in to burst and fits in about 10 minutes.  Karma curly!

  My question:

  Two hearts, two processors clocked at 2.66 Ghz (2666 Mhz) x = 10,664 Ghz or 10 664 Mhz, right?

  For some reason, my application ESXi shows and has ever since wherever it has been installed, available in treatment only 9064 Mhz capacity.  I haven't noticed until I started planning the resource pools to partition my production of the laboratory of my experimental environment servers and started to do the math.

  My host is configured to use the default value of 267 Mhz, and I have attached a few screenshots to support my reasoning.  Has anyone seen this kind of problem before? Y at - it a known bug that I missed during my search?

  Welcome to the Forums - do not forget the vmkernel - ESX/ESXi hypervisor also needs CPU cycles - the 267 reserve ensures that your host has 267 MHz at its disposal all the time - it is not a limit if the host needs more than 267 that he will get it.

• CPU performace put stupid questions esxi

  Hola todos,

  Tengo problemas con performace unos mi servidores ESXI corpos con el CPU, usually el percent used del CPU of ESXI're menor del 40%. Hace unos dias he notado q in algun momento del dia do al 75% o 90% o talves mas como por mas of una hora, lo cual causa me problemas con los users.

  No veo nada in los eventos y el los graphic unico q veo los're tiempo estuvieron pero asi q no Arab service como una causa raiz

  Hay algun comando o algo q can utizar

• ESXi 5.0.0 VM crashes - cpu 0?

  Hello

  I administer a machine running esxi 5.0.0 with a sbs 2011 VMS.

  Today that VM does more - this has always worked but very very slowly

  on the resources tab, the cpu indicator is and remains 0 Mhz.

  The host has nothing else to do.

  I have a good candidate as the cause.

  Within the virtual machine (sbs, 2011), yesterday I installed an e-mail archiver application.

  On a previous physical server and with an earlier version, this software sometimes caused high cpu loads.

  The archiver should be originally, why suddenly high cpu load would esxi cut of cpu resources?

  The sbs2011 has a minimum cpu reserved for him

  I restarted the VM, stopped the archiver tool and am now crossing my fingers the virtual machine does not freeze again.

  Question:

  (1) what happened?

  (2) can I force esxi free virtual machine cpu?

  --------------------------------------

  The same type of gel that's happened once or twice after the initial installation of esxi, now a few months ago.

  But once I put a cpu/memory reserve, it has not reoccured.

  --------------------------------------

  syslog is not available, only after the reboot I put syslog (beginner and all that )

  After 8 months and many failed attempts, I finally found the reason

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2000382

  conclusion: do not drive cd on the host machine.

• limit of cpu resource manager problem

  Hello world

  I'm testing the resource limit of resource manager. in all the documents I read, after you create groups of consumers, if I gave a resource limit in terms of resources, it is said, this group of consumers won't be able to consume more cpu than that. for ex, 2 consumer group I have one of them gave 90% of cpu and the other (let's call it test_group) 5%, but when I connect with a user who is located in the test_group consumer group. After the execution of some sql/plsql, I noticed that it uses all the cpu.

  EDIT: to the fifth message there is all the code samples and the test results with screenshots.

  for ex in this page: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/mdm/v10r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mdmhs.smpl.gd.doc%2Fr_oracle_db_resource_manager_working_example.html

  There is a code example that explain the plan. It is said REPORTING_GROUP is not being able to occupy more than 5% of CPU times in total. I used this code, but reporting_group always be able to consume all the cpu. I tested this code (also I have created a new group and the plan of Enterprise manager) on windows 7 64-bit, intel i7 cpu with 4 core and on the same machine, using the virtual machine oralinux. as database, Enterprise edition 11.2.0.1

  also resources plan is active and working, active session limit or cancel hen size for example, works when I tested it, but CPU limit is not. for testing I used the plsql code.

  create or replace function sf_test(p number) return number as
    x number;
  begin
    select 1 into x from sh.sales where prod_id = p and rownum = 1;
    return 1;
  exception
    when no_data_found then
      return 0;
  end;
  /
  
  
  declare
    x number;
  begin
    for i in 1..50 loop
      for i in 1..10000 loop
        x := sf_Test(i);
      end loop;
    end loop;
  end;
  
  

  I created four session of the Report1 user (in the link I mentioned before) and run this code plsql, at most 5% of cpu if they had but my CPU is overloaded almost every time.

  I missed something here or I got all wrong concept?

  PS: setting resource_limit is true and resouce_plan is the plan that I created. as I said before the plan is active and functional, I know, but may not limit the cpu. I would appreciate it if you help. Thank you very much.

  Looks like the resource manager behave correctly.

  If the session manager are not ask for 95 percent of the CPU resources, what remains will be the users of the report.  Oracle will not starve the UC report sessions if there are a bunch of CPU idle.

  If there are 8 Virtual cores and a bunch of single threaded sessions, you need at least 8 sessions before Manager the Manager could use 95% of the available CPU.  Most likely, you would need 9 or 10.

  If you have only a 6-wire Manager, these discussions could consume at least 6/8 = 75% of the available CPU but probably more than 67% (to pick a number that facilitates the calculation).  There is 33% of the CPU for the report.  There are 4 sessions of report in your screenshot with a little more than 2 cores available and each one seems to spend slightly more than 50% of their time on the CPU, which looks all right.

• Defining the limit of the CPU with c#

  I can't set the CPU limit. Whenever I run the following code what happends is the VM shares get set to low temperature.

  spec.cpuAllocation = new VimApi.ResourceAllocationInfo ();

  spec.cpuAllocation.shares = new VimApi.SharesInfo ();

  spec.cpuAllocation.shares.level.Equals ("custom");

  spec.cpuAllocation.limit.Equals ((long) 1200);

  clientInfo.Connection.Service.ReconfigVM_TaskAsync (vmmor, spec);

  How you set the CPU limit using c#?

  Thanks Jim.

  The snippet above in c# will ask you to set a property more in the specifications, in order to define the limit correctly.

  > spec.cpuAllocation.limitSpecified = true;

  In c#, there are certain properties that require '< propertyName > specified' to 'true '.

  Hope that solves your problem.

• ESXi 5.0 U3 disconnects randomly vCenter

  Hello

  I have 'ESXi 5.0 U3 HP custom"installed on the servers of HP DL580 G7.

  my version of vCenter is 5.0 U1

  Every 2 or 3 days, around 12:00 to 01:00 AM (midnight), one of the hosts, disconnects (almost randomly) vcenter, the ping of the host is available, virtual machines are ok, and after about 10 minutes, it gets automatically connected again.

  In fact, I have not checked if I could connect directly to the host through the VI Client or not?

  There is no special event in vCenter events at the moment where the host disconnects.

  Any body help on this issue?

  P.S
  It seems that this happens after the upgrade to ESXi ESXi U3 U1 5.0 5.0... but I'm not sure that I will also install version 5.0 U3 vCenter. but I don't know if this will solve the problem, as U1 is also in the matrix of interoperability with ESXi 5.0 U3.

  Hello

  The problem was related to violation of CPU by VMs in a host.

  It seems the CPU limit has solved my problem.

• CPU latency

  I'm trying to find a definition of the time of latency (measured in percent) found in the CPU graph options in ESXi 5.0.

  The "description of counter" suggests "the percent of the time, the virtual machine cannot run because it is suitor for access to the physical CPU", which sounds very similar to the CPU Ready description that suggests the "percentage of time that the virtual machine was ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical processor.

  However, in my remarks, the latency of the CPU and CPU Ready move together.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thanks, Liam.

  There are 4 States of CPU. At least according to the white paper of vSphere CPU scheduler 5.1 :-)

  Here is my understanding. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  4 States above gives 100%.
  100% = RUN + READY + % % WAIT CSTP

  When adding first, a virtual machine is RUN or in a READY State according to the availability of a physical CPU at the level of the ESX layer.

  A virtual machine in the READY State is distributed by the vmkernel CPU scheduler and goes into State of EXECUTION. In the executing State, the virtual machine is served by the hypervisor and can do what it is supposed to do. Latency of loan & CPU CPU are similar
  Latency: % of the time the VM cannot run because it's supported for access to the physical processor.
  Loan: % of the time that the virtual machine was ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical processor. [e1: this is the total of all virtual machines in the ESX]
  So it seems that the loan is after the latency time. Latency will go up first, as the favorite NUMA kernel might not be available, ready will follow when it has no basis available to all.

  It can be later off planned by vmkernel and enters a State LOAN or COSTOP. Co Stop happening if the virtual machine has > 1 vCPU and one of them is waiting for the other. Waiting happens because ESXi has insufficient physical CPU to serve. That's why you should right the size of the virtual machine. RDY % include % MLMTD, which is VM was ready to run, but has not been scheduled for time CPU due to the limit. You should not use Limit.

  The VM has stopped is launched jointly by the suite and enters the READY State, which is ready for use. So ready time does not include the time to stop Co. You need to measure them both.

  A virtual machine in the executing State may enter a WAIT state. Normally, it is because he is waiting for a resource and woke up later once the resource is available. It is normally the work of IO, such as waiting for a disc to return control of the table.

  When a virtual machine is idle, not to intervene, between WAIT_IDLE, a particular type of the WAIT state. So it's not actually not waiting for what it is. A world of slow motion is awoken whenever it is interrupted.

  WAITING also includes % SWPWT, which is CPU waits VMKernel swap memory
