ESXi hosted VM requires more video RAM

Hi, I have a Geforce 9500 GT on my ESXi 4.1 server. Some of the windows on the ESXi server machines require more video RAM, then the map server provides (24 MB I think) so I found a 9500 GT I had spare and added. I haven't set anything to the video card and ESXi is not sound using my server maps vga. Can I configure ESXi for my windows to use my Geforce 9500 GT, and you have a link or instructions somewhere?

ESX (i) does not support hardware acceleration.  You can get it with VMware Fusion / workstation. http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1011942

  • Satellite L300-1AI - how to put more video RAM?

    Hello

    I struggle a bit with the graphics card.

    I bought GrandTheftAuto IV, and although it runs, it runs very slowly. The cause for this is that it uses only 124 MB of video ram.

    I went to the site of intel to learn more, and it turns out that toshiba will set up my video ram before sending it.

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm
    (about 1/2 down, titled: can I increase the amount of memory graphics using my computer is?)

    Y at - it an option for me to set up a little more ram on the graphics card?

    Because at the moment, if I will:
    Desktop computer - make a right click, customize, display settings, advanced settings
    Get the type of adapter and information.
    Its a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    1341MB available total graphics memory
    128 MB of dedicated video memory
    Video 0MB system memory
    1213MB shared system memory

    The quesitons I need to answer: why vista/intel usually allocate more video memory it is necessary. GTA IV seems not to be allowed to see the dedicated video memory.
    And then, how can I say vista/intel to allocate video memory dedicated more or maybe video memory system?
    Dynamic video memory allocation thingy seems to not work very well.

    I have already been in the graphics media accelerator driver and changed the 3D, of Normal driver memory settings to high.

    Concerning
    Ollie

    Normally the video RAM is switchable dynamic and you can t change.
    What you can do is update your RAM and then you will have more video RAM.
    However, you should not change the video RAM. Get this s automatically.

    On GTAIV I can say, install the latest hotfix.
    In addition, you can GTAIV tell you more RAM:
    Create a commandline.txt in the main folder of GTAIV and enter this txt to the following file:
    -availablevidmem 2.0

    This option set the amount of physical memory to video.

  • More video RAM on my Satellite A30

    Hi, how can I share more video ram on my A30, is now 32 MB?

    Hi Alexander,.

    If you have a Phoenix BIOS then you can RAM allocation adjust for your graphics card by changing the value of the AMU in the BIOS setup.

    Access the control panel of the BIOS (F2 on startup), and you will see the value of UMA on the first page to half way down. The settings available are 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB. simply select the value you want and save your settings.

    Of course, this will reduce the RAM available to your applications.

  • Tecra M10 - 1 H 4 - change shared video RAM worth?

    Hello

    I have a Tecra M10, with the standard 2 GB of RAM, I also added an extra 256 MB of available RAM slot. Can I change the value of RAM shared graphic? In the properties of XP Pro, I can see that it is fixed at 1024MB which is stupid because I only 2.25 GB in the machine.

    I can't locate any settings even in the BIOS, where I thought I could change it. It's a mobile graphics chip Intel GMA 4500MHD. Any help is appreciated...

    I also seem to get some horrible slow down on the laptop too, when I have about 10 different windows open, (be it the same application or different) when I switch to another window/application from time to time I have to wait for the laptop to redraw the new window very slowly?

    I updated the driver too - claims I'm on: 6.14.10.4953

    See you soon

    TC

    Hey Buddy,

    No, you can change the video memory value of t. Everything will be controlled automatically and there is no value in the BIOS or the display driver where you can change it.

    Video RAM depends on the RAM you are using on your laptop. Increase system memory values for the available total graphics memory, decided video memory and shared system memory will be higher.

    So, to get more video RAM upgrade your laptop with more system RAM.

  • Should the RAM for an ESXi host replaced the same ones remaining?

    Hello

    We are running a cluster of servers ESXi 5.1 - 2 of them are Xeon E7440 2.4 GHz (64 GB of RAM) and 1 of them is Xeon X 5460 3.16 GHz (32 GB of RAM).

    Currently, the use of the memory of all three ESXi hosts are about 60%.

    We will replace the Xeon X 5460 server with a new physical server.  We would like to ask for your opinion how much RAM you must order (my manager of door on the cost of the new server).

    Thank you

    Hi again Tony,

    1. No, it is not high at all. You should begin to worry about this, after reaching approximately 85-90%.
    2. My short experience with clusters of memory-unbalanced, adding that more memory would be a lot like the DRS manages memory locations & 'kindness host' in the right direction, but I'm not really sure how that would turn out in the long term. If you decide to present more memory to your server, it would be possible to upgrade the other two guests sooner than later
    3. Yes, ask the seller would be the right thing to do. Please note that you will need to put in place an enhanced vMotion to conform to your next "older" CPU then, because you'll have something other than X 5460. I guess you'll have to "intensify" a generation or two, depending on what you have found.
  • Can I use the total amount of resources (cpu/ram) of two esxi hosts if I place a cluster so that a single VM gets all resources?

    I use vCenter 5.1 with two esxi 5 guests, both exactly the same (Evga SR - 2 pc with two Intel x 5670 each) with the exception of the disk storage. Processor x 5670 a 12 hearts if HT is enabled. Since then, I have 4 of these processors that would be 48 cores. Each processor is clocked at 4 GHz for a total of 16 GHz. Each host would also 24GO of total Yes 48 GB of ram.

    I doubt that this is possible, but what I want to do is to install a virtual machine like Win 7 x 64 and give all these resources to it... all of them (perhaps leave some carrots and ram aside for guests of esxi, of course). This vm is run to 16 GHz? It would be nice if we could create a cluster with a Setup like this and give the "total available resources' for a single virtual machine running on a esxi host.

    I doubt that this is possible because I've tried that before and it wouldn't let me create a virtual machine with this number of nuclei or ram because he said that they were not available or something... as if to suggest that I can only use the total amount of resources to AN esxi host.

    There may be another way I could give this 16 GHz machine?

    Could not assign more resources to a host to a virtual computer.

  • ESXi host does not connect more after a restart of the service LogInsight

    Hello

    I put several (5.1 U1) ESXi to use the newly installed LogInsight. they sent him their event properly. I had to restart the log service Insight. After the reboot, the hosts stopped sending events. the vcenter continued, however.

    I had to reload the syslog on the hosts to send their event to the perspicacity of newspaper.

    esxcli system syslog reload

    any idea? I guess that's not normal behavior

    Thank you

    Eric

    Hi Eric, this is unfortunately expected behavior. What you are experiencing is a bug in ESXi. More information is available in the Guide to installation/Admin under the troubleshooting log Insight section or at the following article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2003127.

    ESXi newspapers stop arriving at the Insight Journal

    After you restart the log service Insight, ESXi hosts syslog messages stop arriving at the Insight Journal.

    Problem

    In Insight Journal configuration changes require that you restart the log Insight service. After the restart, syslog RSS of ESXi are no longer available.

    Cause

    Some versions of ESXi stop balls sending if connectivity to the remote syslog listener is stopped, even for a short moment. This problem affects the following versions of ESXi, depending on the communication protocol used.

  • Pavilion p7 - 1436 s: send more video memory dedicated RAM?

    Hello!

    I have a Pavilion p7 - 1436, and a game I want to play requires a minimum of 1 GB of video RAM dedicated.

    My graphic card/adapter is an AMD Radeon HD 7540D.

    I have 8 GB of total RAM, and when I check my profile, this happens:

    Total available graphics memory: 4096 MB

    Dedicated video memory: 512 MB

    Video memory: 0 MB

    Shared system memory: 3584 MB

    I would spend at least a gigabyte of video memory dedicated , but I can't figure out how. I restarted my compurer and press F2/F10/DEL to get a certain menu, but the menu gave options for enforcement of controls on memory, not not the reallocation. I don't know if this menu has been the "BIOS" than other discussions they said access.

    Thank you and I hope you can help!

    Hello

    I wouldn't waste your time difference after that 512 MB is insignificant.

    I suggest using a discrete graphics card.

  • Permisions required for mounting NFS on ESXi host

    Hi team,

    In our java application uses) use API VMWARE to mount the NFS datastore on the ESXi host. But to do this, we need the ESXI root permissions. Because having credentials root door reached the safety of the system, we would like to create a user with the required permissions will be sufficient to add the mounting NFS on ESXi host.

    But do not know how to see the permissions required for the Assembly of the NFS on ESXi host. Pointers would be useful.

    Thanks in advance,

  • How to use more than 5 esxi hosts?

    If I try to use more than 5 guests esxi, that io parser gives a hint to use an other Analyzer io controller VM.

    So does that mean I have to use two io parser controller vms, i.e. to two Web sites that are not in sync?

    Page 6 of the IO parser guide:

    Maximum Configuration Analyzer of e/s

    Analyzer IO 1.5.1 has been tested up to the following configurations:

    With up to 128 worker virtual machines per ESX/ESXi host.

    With up to five ESX/ESXi hosts by controller i/o parser VM.

    To run the Analyzer of i/o tests with more than five ESX/ESXi hosts, we recommend using several VMs controller.

  • vCenter 5.1 Standard - can not handle Essentials ESXi hosts more?

    Hi all!

    I have 12 vSphere Essentials servers and 16 vSphere Enterprise. I have a Standard of vCenter Server manage each of them.

    I installed my server vCenter 5.0 to 5.1 (3 hours). Now, when I opened vCenter, some of these Essentials hosts have a red flag next to them with the following alert: "alert editing host license is not compatible with the license vCenter Server edition.

    Research tells me that my Essentails hosts now require a server vCenter of Essentials to manage them and even worse, there can only be three hosts of Essentials by Essentials vCenter server. Please, someone tell me that the internet was lying.

    I should mention that four servers with red flags warnings are essential, v5.x elements. The other servers are running v4.x and do NOT display the alert.

    Friends of ideas?

    -Dave

    From a license point of view, it has always been thus. A vSphere essentials Kit is made up 1 vcenter Server Essentials and 6 processor licenses for up to 3 guests and these licenses may only be used in conjunction.

    of http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/esx_esxi_eula.html

    VMware VMware vSphere Essentials licenses or VMware vSphere Essentials Plus editions (collectively, "editions") you only to manage the server up to three 3 hosts and your use of these editions is limited to servers with up to two processors. For these editions, the host server must be managed by the VMware vCenter Server that comes with these editions, and this same VMware vCenter server cannot be used to manage other hosts from server not included with these editions.

    The only exception is vSphere Essentials for retail sales and branches, which can be centrally managed from a single server vCenter Server (see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf)

  • Increase dedicated video RAM on a HP Pavilion P6 2133W

    Hello, I need to know how to increase dedicated video memory, so I can play games that require a dedicated beyond 1 GB video memory. My current dedicated video RAM is 512 MB, my total video RAM is 4096 MB (4 GB).

    Data sheet:

    HP Pavilion P6-2133W

    AMD Vision A6 Quad Core processor at 2.20 GHZ

    AMD Radeon HD 6530d

    Upgrade to 64 bit Windows 8 Pro

    8 GB of system memory

    BIOS v7.14

    (If necessary) AAHD3-HB Hibiscus manufactured by Pegatron Motherboard

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, there is no way to change the amount of video RAM.  It is what it is.

    If you need more video horsepower, you can look into the purchase of a dedicated video card of PCIe x 16 with 1 GB or more of memory for your PC that works with your PC power.

  • Do I need an IP NIC of each Esxi host address?  VMs needs access to the storage network?

    Hi all

    The issue go, I have a host machine with 3 nic cards - > 1 for production network, 1 for the management network and 1 for the network backup.

    The guest PC VM inside will be connected to the 3 network,

    But for the host himself, will be used for management and backup only.

    T1) is the bears from production on the need for level ESXI host having an IP address as well?

    =================================================================

    Right of Q2) now my host use internal storage. If I'm to migrate to a SAN storage, I have 1 more network for storage.

    I understand that the configuration of virtual machines and their data are assigned and stored in the data store that is made visible at the level of the host.

    They must for the virtual machines access the data store, join the storage network as well? or they are access to the storage through the host

    ================================================================

    Kind regards

    Noob

    T1) is the bears from production on the need for level ESXI host having an IP address as well?

    A NIC itself does not require an IP address. Which IP addresses are required for VMkernel port groups (for example, networking, vMotion, storage access,...) as well as virtual machines.

    Right of Q2) now my host use internal storage. If I'm to migrate to a SAN storage...

    No, a virtual machine (i.e. the guest operating system) does not require access to the system of storage, only the ESXi host.
