False alarm on ESX memory

Similar Questions

• False alarms

  Running the trial of vFoglight and very impressed so far.
  However, we are still getting false alarms such as:

  • Machine virtual xxx has recently been turned off. This rule detects a VM is turned off or paused.
  • Logical drive C:\ on machine virtual xxx was 5.81% available and full of 94.19%. This rule is triggered when the use of the disk reaches less than 5% of the full.

  Even if we recognize and disable the alarm, it reappears. In the latter case we offer more space, so the alarm is not applicable.

  Any ideas how to fix?

  Hello infra1234,
  Question #1 it is a groovy script that will fix it if there is no virtual machines for which you get alarms
  Rule question #2 pulled the alarm can be twisted, but would need to take a look at your environment
  My suggestion would be to open a support case.

• How to check the ESX memory for errors?

  Hi all

  I faced with the strange behavior of ESX:

  Some linux VMs (RHEL) were stopped. No error messages in the vCenter nor LabManager, I even thought that someone just connected and Runic stop.

  Below you will find information of ESX server logs:

  (1) the vmkernel newspaper:

  #grep - color = always-i ' 1922 [^ 0-9] "... /VMkernel *"

  .. (/ VMkernel.8:Dec 8 22:22:40 WKK1EC02 vmkernel: 290:11:51:47.230 cpu14:23084) UserDump: 1441: Dumping cartel 23079 (of the world 23084) to file the vmfs/volumes/4a4ce277-4a35505c-8828-0024817b058c/labmanager/1922/vmware-vmx-zdump.000...

  (2) the journal of the VM:

  I found the suggestion to check the ESX memory for problems.

  I found the information that ESX 3.0 was ramcheck service which could check the memory, but there is no such service in future versions of ESX.

  Could someone help me find how to check the memory without stopping the ESX Server (I could not migrate virtual machines per host)?

  The only way you will get a true test of the memory of the HOST must stop it and run the test directly. Any tool running in the ESX console will only have indirect access RAM. The vmkernel controls access to physical RAM.

• Limitation of physical ESX (memory)

  Hello

  A few days back I had a problem starting ESX 3.5 U2 inside our c7000 HP Blade Server. ESX wasn't able to start and in the start process initial was struck. I took help from VMware and HP suppliers and lost 2-3 days without a bit of luck. After that we were trying just a few ideas, HP engineer opened the specific blade and lives 16 GB (8 * 2) was standing with only the first processor and processor other passers-by were empty. Although this is normal and we could detect full 16 GB memory inside the machine. Experimently are positioned 16 GB memory just as in a proportion of 8GB and 8GB on the slots two of this processor. Fortunately, it worked and ESX started successfully with no problems. Thus, it was quite obvious that the conclusion that ESX requires memory to be placed also in all slots is quite valid. (Please provide any PDF or search for result URL, if you have)

  Now, I am planning to buy a laptop (Dell studio) with 4 GB memory IE 4GB DDR2 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB) with the other empty location. I need to install workstation 6.5 on this laptop then ESX 3.5 and ESX 4.0 on this workstation as two virtual machines. Now, I have no idea will be this true wedge of conclusion on this scenario of ESX on workstation or not? Please suggest...

  I'm guessing that the blade would not start because it was an AMD blade using a NUMA architecture where there is a controller memory separately for each processor (depending on how interlink you your memory). This isn't the case for any portable computer and you don't have to worry about memory configuration.

• False alarm: the compiler bug?

  This happens with CVI 2010 SP1.

  Compiling this code, I get "WARNING: Conversion from '__int64' to 'long' could lose data... ' on the 'z = y' line.

  Please note this line does not have any variable __int64.

  More strange: if I comment any line of the "case", the warning disappears: the warning when are present four or more instructions "box.

  However, the generated code works perfectly, to a quick test.

  #define A 0x00000000
  #define B 0x00000001
  #define C 0x00000002
  #define D 0x00000003
  
  #define MASK 0x00000003
  
  void CompilerBug()
  {
  __int64 x=0;
  
  int y,z;
  
      switch(x & MASK) {
          case A: y=0; break;
          case B: y=1; break;
          case C: y=2; break;
          case D: y=3; break;
      }
      z = y;
  }
  

  I will be happy if someone can confirm this behavior.

  Thank you

  At first glance, the warning seems to be false. The conversion from __int64 to long don't actually takes place. Instead, case expressions are converted long __int64. The behavior of the switch statement seems correct and therefore the warning can be ignored.

  We have not yet investigated the cause of this error, but you can follow the matter with bug ID 363456. In the meantime, it would be more prudent to ensure that your switch expression and case expressions are of the same type where we have not fully defined errors.

• False alarms license ISE

  Hello

  I have a 3315 ISE with a base 250 and 250 advanced licenses. I received regular alarms (every two hours) indicating the following...

• False alarm

  I have a rule created the CPU usage %. Occasionally, I'll get a 'Normal' message and the figures will show the % CPU: 92.77. This is not normal and would generally fall within the critical range. I don't get the critical messages however. I don't always get these false emails. most of the time I am alerted with the right message. I have my behavior to "Action of fire if 20 consecutive assessments are met". Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? I'm curious to know how to fix this.

  Thank you

  The behaior you describe (report of the normal state on the last assessment which is guard/criticism/fatal) is not the way it is suppsed to behave, my recommendatino is trying to open a support case and see if can get to the bottom of this.

  It is true that most (if not all) rules do not have action on the back to normal because that will generate a large number of notifications to the administrator mailbox on things that are not usable.

• KOOBFACE IS FALSE ALARM OF IT?

  I WAS WORKING ON A NEW LAPTOP OS X YOSEMITE WHEN BELLS AND WHISTLES EXPLODED, THE WINDOW POPS UP SAYING THAT I HAD BEEN HACKED AND CALL APPLE AT # GIVEN. IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT, BUT ULTIMATELY, I CALLED. AFTER I LET HIM SHARE THE SCREEN "" RESCUE", HE FOUND MALWARE CALLED KOOBFACE AND STARTED A DOWNLOAD THAT WOULD OPEN IMMEDIATELY. BUT THEN HE WANTED MONEY $199 FOR A YEAR'S WARRANTY, OR $399 FOR PERMANENT WARRANTY.

  HE HAD STRONG ACCENT AND I COULD HEAR IN THE BACKGROUND. I DON'T HIM DID NOT TRUST AND WAS AFRAID BECAUSE HE WAS IN MY COMPUTER DUE TO 'RESCUE '... IS MORE, THINK IT WAS APPLE, SO I JUST SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER AND CHANGED MY PASSWORDS ON ANOTHER LAPTOP, THE ONE I USE NOW.

  IT WAS LEGITIMATE AND I MESSED UP? OR WAS IT A SCAM AND A PERSON REALLY ME HACKED AND CAN ACCESS EVERYTHING ON ALL MY COMPUTERS, INCLUDING THIS ONE AND A DESKTOP COMPUTER?

  Anything other than a scam. As long as you don't give any personal information, it cannot access anything on your Mac. Never share your password admin period.

  Tip: To open Safari without RESUME, hold down the shift (⇧) you open Safari. Safari opens with the options you selected in the "General tab" in Safari preferences, options such as your homepage.

  Don't forget, Apple will never contact you directly phone or otherwise with respect to malware.

• False alarm critical of Apple - scam or virus?

  A couple of days, while browsingthem web (English version of the German company important and trustworthy), I received a popup alert indicating «Safari alert, your iPad is locked for your protection on 0808 148 3688 Apple support call»

  I had my son get number of Apple on his mobile and realized, he had nothing to do with the above number. As the IPad has been frozen, I made a forced following the stop which made a soft reset not reset the Wi - Fi connection but do not wipe all personal data and after that pop up to disappeared. My camera is a non supported Gen. 1 iPad iOS 5.1.1. My question is how can I tell if my iPad has a virus or is it safe to use?  Also, I guess due to being not supported its my Apple call pointless? All advice appreciated - other that tell me to buy an IPad update that unfortunately I can't afford (that's a first use since the problem occurred)

  This popup will always be a scam. See below.

• False alarm "system safety at risk".

  My wife has just started to download a update of Flash Player for his MBP and stopped when she realized that they wanted to change a lot of settings, such as the browser by default, etc..  She received a message asking if she didn't know she wanted to leave the page as well as a scary message (see screen capture below).

  I called the number in the message and it did not Support Mac.  I recognized the voice as being a man with a foreign accent, telling me that I have a serious malfunction in my computer it will help to set. It sounded like a very long call remote.  I realized that it is a scam and that he hung up.

  All this experience?  I had to call my phone at home several times telling me that they were aware of a computer problem and that they would like to help me solve it.  They need access to my computer to do.  Of course, that don't give them not only access.  I get the these calls one or two times a month.

  If someone else gets one of these messages.  Ignore it.   Or, call Apple and ask them to check it out.  But it's not Apple.

  

  Yes, this is a known scam. I hope that you do not allow access to any information on your Mac. Ignore it or report it to http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  By clicking on the link seems to fix the problem, but it's annoying. I tried to do a full scan of my system with Malwarebytes and AVG Free.

  Any ideas why it keeps popping up? If you look at all the windows image, you can see indications that It IS Windows genuine. One is a window open Firefox where I was taken after reactivation, and the other comes from right click on "computer" and get properties (called the control panel system in Windows 95 - XP, do not know if this term has changed). \

  The only thing I can think is that I worked with someone using Vista and the original startup Vista Home Premium OS of the computer quite a bit lately to help. Could WGA that detect the same computer and IP address uses two different versions of Windows in quick succession? Why this treatment? Dual booting is not so rare a decade ago, when the people wanted 98/XP dual-boot.

  It seems to have fixed itself after that I installed another batch of updates. I just did this earlier in the week, and on Friday, it was invited with more.

  I didn't this view since Thursday night, although I got it several times between Tuesday and Friday.

• HowTo generate by ESX report alarms?

  Hi all

  I use vFoglight v6.1 pro to monitor my VMware Lab Manager environment.

  It is needless to mention that I get tons of alerts several types.

  As part of my effort to reduce the amount of alerts vFoglight, I disabled a lot of alerts under Administration--> rules Admin &--> manage rules.

  I left only referring to my ESX memory alerts | swap | CPU which gives me more visibility of the State of my environment.

  The thing is I'm having a problem generating a statistical report that will give me specific information on how alertsI have on each of my ESX hosts by type.

  I need an easy way to show more of memory or cpu required and prove the increase of resources actually solved the problem.

  This must be done through vfoglight level reporting.

  I'll be happy to get assistance to each and every one of you, if you know the inner workings of the vfoglights.

  Thank you very much

  Nissim.

  Here are a few steps you can try:

  Navigate to the home alarms

  In the upper right corner of the dashboard alarms, set the time interval, you are interested. For example "7 d" for 7 days.

  To the right of the table of alarms in half the dashboard lower alarms, click on "filter alarm.

  In the field "Origin" on the popup filter, type in "VMW ESX" (this will filter the alarms for ESX most of alarms)

  The results of all ESX alarms for the last 7 days will be displayed, use the error Instances see the breakdown of the alarms tab how by host, but also the history of the health of these hosts in the selected time interval

  Use the Customizer button to export the alarms to Excel, and select export (it's the last option when you click the customizer, screenshot see attached)

  

• memory oversubscribe in ESX 3.5

  Hello

  I wanted to know a little more about to oversubscribe memory feature. I could give you an example:

  Host ESX - 16 GB

  Overhead - ~ 1 GB

  SMV - 15 virtual machines with 1 GB each

  Total - 16GB

  Now, it will be displayed in the GUI on the guests like % = 100% memory tab

  However, suppose that under Guest Mem %, each virtual computer, consumes only 50% the size of total memory allocated in fact

  (1) would be the free memory real on the host ESX, being 16 - 1-(15 x 0,5) = 7.5 GB? And follow up on this, once we get to '100% ' the memory balloon pilot intervenes and begins the reallocation memory autour necessary?

  (2) is the memory bar GUI exceed 100%, I was too chicken to try and overload an ESX host so far

  (3) assuming that 1, how can I I oversubscribe a box before things start to get hairy? I've seen people say that they generally oversubscribe a box by a ratio of 1.6 (comments allocated memory) to 1 (ESX memory actually there). How will I know when I should not push it any further.

  Bravo guys of available Points of course!

  No need to wait on a kernel panick. Just monitor vCenter or the VI Client and check that the tanks on the host-> memory peformance. You can also use ESXTOP to see how much memory is used and how much is being deduped by GST for example.
