• 2 physical CPU considered 4 CPU in ESXi

  Hello

  I had a problem on a UCS B200 M4 blade. the blade contains 2 physical CPU E5-2660 [email protected] (10 carrots each)

  ESXi 5.5 u2 (with or without custom image cisco) installed successfully.

  But ESXi 5.5 see 4 physical CPU with 5 cores of each instead of the 2 physical.

  I have no idea why, maybe the bios features but do not know which?

  Someone has an idea?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Is the question on the community of cisco. It seems that the E5 v3 adds a new feature called COD (Cluster on Die).

  Unfortunately this feature is not supported by VMware for now (even in u2 5.5).

  It is possible to disable in the bios.

  Thanks for your help.

• 1 physical CPU limitation

  Is it true that hypervisor free will support physical CPU 1 with unlimited cores?

  Actually, no point in adding an additional to a server physical CPU if you need to continue using the free version of the hypervisor.

  To increase the physical CPU at 2, I would need to buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

  Although there is no limitation on the physical processors that would be free esxi, you can use server with any number of processors with any number of cores to deploy free vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi). But it supports only 32 GB of memory.

• Win7x64 Home Premium does support double physical CPU (Xeon 3.4) with HT - to see only two graphics in the CPU monitor.

  I have a workstation Dell Precision 670 with dual Xeon 3.4 GHz CPU with Hyperthreading.  I installed Windows 7 x 64 home premium and now cannot see two processors/cores in the system monitors backed up by the release of Registry.  This means that two physical processors or hyperthreading is not supported by Home premium.  I didn't know that this referred to in one of the official literature I've read (and I thought that all the flavors supports two physical processors).  Can clarify you if it of Dual CPU support or lack of support of HT for my processor (I think they're Prescotts of memory).

  Here is the result of a record query, it seems to list the two physical processors and not virtual cores HT.

  UPDATE: -.

  (Turning things and disable in bios), I confirmed that I see in the Task Manager, msinfo and CUP-z 1 physical processor with 2 threads.  BUT in Device Manager I see all processors & carrots (4) and all report that they function normally.  So it seems to me there is a missing communication between the end user of things and what is seen in the Device Manager.  I tried the option in msconfig to force 2 CPUs, but that made no difference.

  You need Pro see two physical CPU slots, double or not.

• ESXI 5.5 physics - nested

  Hello , I am virtualization a physical exam two ESXI on ESXI, the version I use is 5.5, works perfectly but now I want to virtualize vcenter on one of the two virtualized ESXi and here is my problem, when I create the virtual machine with windows 2008r2 64-bit and the Start shows me a mistake:

  
  

  

  
  

  J’ai try to change these values, but does not work

  
  

  
  

  
  

  J’ai also try to change these same values in the original ESXI and or worked

• comparison of physical CPU and vCPU cores

  Hello

  I'm an admin of VMWare and recently asked by a customer in our Cloud Computing environment to add an extra vCPU to one of their virtual machines so that it aligned the physical counterpart that they had migrated away from more.  The physical version had 2 processors quad core (clocked at 1.4 Ghz) and the virtual version has now 2 vCPUs (The ESXI host a 2.4 Ghz CPU).  Since then, I've been asked how to compare the two and I am struggling to explain their project...

  The user connects to the physical computer and run the Task Manager and sees the 8 cores working away

  It then records in the virtual machine and see the two processors working away.  You can say that he thinks that the performance piling in ESXi...

  How to compare the two scenarios and how can I explain that is comparable in an ESXi environment - and is it really comparable?

  The way I see it, adding a second processor on the virtual computer which means provide 2 physical processors on the host are available, instructions can be performed on them by the customer, which means that 2 at the same time.

  On the physical server, the 8 cores can be used simultaeously then, how this can never be comparable?

  Or I have this completely wrong?  Performance and the remains has never been my strong point!

  Advice or answers on the above would be welcome

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Each vCPU is mapped to a logical processor, which is a physical on your host system kernel if you do not have active Hyperthreading.

  I don't like the physical to virtual comparison, but of course I know my clients.

  In most cases, the physical resources have never been effectively used, as the operating system or application running on the top was not able to use the 8 cores of the two processors for example four hearts in your example.

  So most of the time you can get the same performance with only 1 or 2 vCPUs after moving to virtualization.

  If you want to know more you can read the resource management Guide: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-501-resource-management-guide.pdf

• What is the difference between virtual and physical CPU cores?

  I understand one is virtual and the other is physical. My question is, if I run a physical system with two physical processors quadricoeurs, which would be an equivalent virtual machine configuration, assuming I use VMware on a dual CPU quad-core server?

  Would be - this 4 x vCPU or 8?

  Run perfmon to see what treatment power is actually using a period reasonable period (x days)...

  You generally assign virtual servers less vCPU than you should in physical cores before conversion, or building a VM... Where you had processors dual core quad now, the reality of things would be that it is really only with the power equivalent of two hearts (crete)...

  Beauty to go with a virtual server is that you can assign a n vCPU VM start (for example, two for a multi-thread aware or SMP, application server) and add later if the performance requires it. The majority of the VMS is built with one vCPU to start, unless you KNOW (beyond doubt) that demand on the server will need vCPU more and the software running in the VM actually fully benefit the granting of vCPU more to her... I have, in general, set the alarms I know where the application of the CPU is abnormally high (or above the normal threshold) on VM (email is sent)... This allows me to monitor the requests to the server and adjust it accordingly.

  You can also grant a greater share value VM for resources, so it has a higher priority than the other virtual machines when he needs these resources.

  Of course, there is much to be said for having a host server (for ESX/ESXi) who has enough power too... These days, I wouldn't recommend becomes a new server (for a production environment) with anything less than the Interior, dual Xeon 5620... Larger environments might require higher speed Xeon 56xx or maybe even 65xx or popular 75xx Xeon series with more cores per socket... This is a capacity adequate session/run planning would have come into play...

• B580 cpu change

  Hello! I want to improve my laptop. Pentium B970 (Sandy Bridge) has been installed in it. Can I change the cpu in my machine, but I don't know what CPU will be fit to my bios or motherboard based on the HM77 chipset. I've got a grip of rPGA 988B. Please help me thank you!

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  Please take a look at the manual of your equipment: http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/b580_hmm_en.pdf

  Manual pages 68-69 see the CPU removal and installation details. Manual page 85 (point #21) shows the processors that were usually configured in the machine. It seems that you have a few choices.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

• After effects CC starts to hang after CPU changed?

  Currently, I have the latest version. Yesterday, I could always use After Effects without any problems whatsoever. But today, I changed my CPU of 3570K to 3770K. And then all of a sudden, open a project, then playing with the space bar crashes after effects.

  First down:

  1. create the project.

  2 import a film of mov.

  3. drag the images to new computer.

  4. (do nothing) export as Adobe Media Encoder queue.

  5. (in the SOUL) Preset: H.264, high Preset, coding.

  6 10 minutes later, the TEA has stopped working.

  Second meeting of Crash:

  1. create the project.

  2 import a film of mov.

  3. drag the images to new computer.

  4. (do nothing) playing footage (SPACEBAR).

  5. a few seconds later, after effects CC 2015.2 has stopped working.

  At first I thought that perhaps my Overclocking is not stable, so I reset my OC then try again.

  First meeting didn't try again yet.

  Second meeting had been set.

  Third meeting of Crash:

  When editing, I think after you add an adjustment layer, then reading. (I don't really know)

  And now I'm here...

  Without newspapers accident no one can tell you a lot. The simple truth is probably that you don't update your motherboard drivers and management power and cause a compatibility issue.

• ESXi 5.5 VM CPU limit

  I have a R720 with 2 Sockets, 12 cores, 48 logical processors (hyper threading enabled)

  I have a unique virtual machine on it, 2008 r2 ENT. I wanted to create a box of 40 CPU but I'm capped at 32CPU by ESXi

  Why?

  I read the 5.5 calculate maximum rates on page 3 where it says 32 cpu by heart.

  I'm confused on mathematics. Anyone can enlighten us please?

  It is more likely version of virtual equipment of the virtual machine (VM-Compatibility Mode) that limits you. In earlier versions, the maximum was indeed 32 vCPUs.

• 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,

  4lan

  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.

• ESXi name: "empty" - how to change this?

  Hello

  We just installed the brand new 5.0 ESXi (VMware vSphere Hypervisor free version).

  Everything works as expected, I just noticed that the name on the screen of default ESXi is set to 'empty' above under "VMWare 5.0.0 (VMKernel release build 469512).

  I have the same name 'empty' in the configuration tab in vSphere client as shown in the screenshot below (sorry for the french interface )

  

  Is there a way to change this?

  Thank you.

  Not the hostname for the ESXi host.  This information comes from the BIOS of your system if for example on an HP system it would be must Hewlett-Packard HP... as it stands on my HP servers since yours is 'empty' I assume you have a white box.  As far as I know, unless you can change it in the BIOS, you're stuck with that picks up ESXi5.

• 8 physical CPU cores - how can I use all cores effectively?

  I have a couple of servers Dell PowerEdge 6950.  Each server has 4 sockets to dual core for a total of 8 physical cores.  I will be the host of many servers Windows 2003 server and 2008 Standard edition.

  If I set each virtual machine to use a single virtual processor, this just drop a load on a carrot and let others 7 carrots wasted, or it covers the single virtual processor between all eight physical cores load?

  One of my virtual machines will be host to a MySQL database using a fairly heavy CPU load and I want to exploit the full potential of my servers.

  Thank you

  the vmkernel Scheduler will cover all UC hence it will be used effectively.

• 10 ColdFusion does not seem to use all 8 cores (2 physical cpu on physical hardware)

  Our Standard 10 Coldfusion server is not higher than 25% never dope.

  I have a time hard to believe that we write this incredibly excellent code to have more than 100 users never do our server over 25% spike...

  How can I check to see how many CPU is using ColdFusion or the number of processors it will use?

  Thank you!

  One of the ways of loading CF with use is to use Apache JMeter. Reference:
  https://JMeter.Apache.org/

  Briefly. In Jmeter to Test Plan, add Threads (users) then thread group.
  In the Group of threads add Sampler HTTP Request.
  Inside the Group of threads increases the number of Threads 1 to 30 of say.
  Change the HTTP request to include the server name or IP of FC
  Port 80 or 8500 for example function built in CF webserver or IIS / Apache.
  Path to the CFM file your going to use it.

  Press the Stop Go.
