Good candidates for the resource pools?

• Good candidate for the clone?

  I have an installation (Windows 7) VM compatibility with all installing the software already and that's exactly how I want it now my question is that I have an accountant who uses old XP VM and more. Can I just clone the current windows 7 VM and assign a different IP address? I know I can set it up and create a new SID so I'm not worried for the clone, but seems to be the right choice. Nothing wrong with that?

  No downside. Go ahead and clone that & make configuration appropriate (SID/IP, etc.)

• The list of all the Resource Pools that are part of a group of ESXi

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a piece of code work that will list all the resource pools that are present in a cluster of ESXi.

  • I know I can find what list of resources of a virtual machine resides in.  I don't want that.

  // Find a matching resource pool on an ESXi hosts
    var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
    var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
  
  
    System.log("what is the ESXi cluster: " + esxiCluster.name);
    System.log("vimtype: " + esxiCluster.vimType);
    System.log("what pools exists: " + esxiClusterResourcePools);
  

  So I know that the vimType will come back with what I expect (ClusterComputeResource).  The question I have is the object "resourcePool" is reference to the root resource list (in my case, it is 'resources').

  What I want is all DRS resource pools are configured.  I need something like "resourcePool_ResourcePool.children".

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Check if this code example that works in your case:

  var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
  var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
  var pools = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.resourcePool").getAllChildResourcePool(esxiClusterResourcePools);
  
  // dump names of child pools
  for each (var pool in pools) {
    System.log(pool.name);
  }
  

• 'Custom actions' of the CPU in the Resource Pools: should I also set the VMs child on "custom"?

  Hello world

  Imagine a VMware vSphere 4.1 cluster managed, of course, by vCenter Server, with some 4.1 ESXi hosts.

  This cluster has 3 Pools of resources: development, Production, quality

  Now consider that the Resource Pools have been initially implemented in the following way, about the 'actions' for 'CPU resources':

  -Development: Shared low =

  -Quality: Sharing = Medium

  -Production: Sharing high =

  Several virtual machines were placed in the Resource Pools. Some virtual machines are single vCPU, but others are vSMP ones: some have 2 vCPU and some of them have 4 vCPU.

  Now, I read the following articles of the (large) put at disposal by Duncan Epping, VMware, in his blog "Yellow brick", on "Resource Pools" and actions:

  The Resource Pool priority-Pie Paradox - yellow bricks [written by Craig Risinger]
  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/22/the-resource-pool-priority-pie-paradox/

  Actions on Resource Pools

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/12/14/shares-set-on-resource-pools/

  Actions on a Resource Pool, custom scripted

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/24/custom-shares-on-a-resource-pools-scripted/

  Now, imagine that I have manually changed several Pools of resources from low/normal/high "Custom" and gave them the following values:

  -Development: 3000

  -Quality: 6000

  -Production: 9000

  The virtual machines inside each Resource Pool appear to be all set up to 'Actions' = 'Normal '.

  I want to know is this:

  1 - since I changed Resource Pool shares 'Low' / 'Normal' / 'High' to 'Custom', I should / need to change the 'actions' in each individual VM from "Normal" to "Custom"?

  2 - I'm guessing that the sum of the actions of all virtual machines in a Resource Pool must be equal to the actions that I gave to this Pool of resources. Am I wrong?

  3 - I also guess that the only practical way to make this change to Virtual PCs, if necessary, is to generate scripts, preferably using PowerCLI. Friend, I have right?

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon,.

  Whatever resources the resource pool level are applicable to this pool of resources and will get the part accordingly. So that resources will be divided between the virtual machines according to the shares they hold.

  Example:-two pool of resources A and B.

  Total cycles CPU = 10000 Cycles CPU

  A part (custom set) = 6000 CPU Cycle.

  Part B (custom set) = Cycle CPU 4000.

  Now a resource pool has three virtual machines powered with shares.so high normal and low on this desire to cycles CPU 6000 cases divided among them in 4:2:1

  VM1 have = 4 * 6000/7 = 3428 cycles cpu.

  VM2 will get = 2 * 6000/7 = 1714 cycles cpu.

  Vm3 will get = 1 * 6000/7 = 857 cycles cpu.

  so according to your requirement, you can change your actions at the level of the virtual machine.

  PS:shares come into picture when there is a conflict.

• CloneVM_Task fails on the resource pool when cloning tempalte

  I'm trying to use the CloneVM_Task to clone a template, but it keeps failing because no resource pool.  We have a cluster with no pool DRS/HA or resources configuration, we use the cluster for the VCA mode.

  I have a reference to the host server, but I don't know what is needed for the pool of resources, given that we have not one.

  While

  cloning a virtual machine from a template, the resource pool is a required parameter.

  It specifies the resource pool that this virtual machine should be attached.

  Incase you do not have a resourcePool hierarchy, you must specify the root

  resourcePool 'Resources' as a resourcePool. It's the resourcePool

  managed your ComputeResource object. A ComputeResource always has a root

  ResourcePool associated with him.

• Good start for the virtualization server?

  Hello

  I would like some advice on a good start for the virtualization server. I would like to run the more recent, free of VMware ESXi 4.1 edition (vSphere Hypervisor?) on the supported hardware (where the RAID can be monitored with VMware).

  For example, something like this: http://www.Dustin.se/pd_5010442452.aspx

  I guess the 8 cores on the server above is a better choice than faster Intel 4 processor (as each VM gets a dedicated core?).

  Any input/advice/server suggestions are welcome!

  Thanks in advance!

  OK, so if I understand you is good, I could install VMware ESXi 4.1 on a USB key inserted at the back of the R210 server, and I would have a facility "embedded"?

  No, not really. "Embedded" means the purchase of a server preconfigured with ESXi hardware already installed by a few big name of the seller. "ESXi Installable" means that you install ESXi yourself a CD, and it could be placed on a number of devices supported, including USB. It will always be "ESXi installable" However, if it has nothing to do where actually install you it.

• Understanding of the resource pools

  I thought I knew pools of resources but realize that my interpretation is wrong and despite reading the documentation and navigation

  messages on this site, I'm still confused and hoping someone can help.

  I thought that:

  1. set up a reserve of 256 MB of Ram on a pool of resources means that each virtual machine has been awarded to a minimum of 256 MB of RAM and that if this

  was not available, then the VM not illuminate.

  2. If the limit has been set to unlimited (or even a limit capped to say 90% of the available RAM) a VM would use more RAM if needed.

  3. the allocation of memory in the definition of a virtual machine in the settings was not relevant because the vm used as much ram has been defined by the resource pool.

  However, I can see my graphics that some virtual machines, while using very little memory, resemble the memory is limited.

  What I mean is that when I look at vcentre: resource - VMS-> guest mem % pool. I see a percentage high and in some cases

  the bar indicator changes from green to yellow. I do not know what threshold is reached - possibly the amount of RAM allocated to the VM in its

  configuration settigs.

  So should I do the following:

  1 build a virtual machine and to allocate as much RAM as I think that the VM needs

  2. set the memory reserve on a pool of resources as being the sum of which has been attributed to each virtual machine

  3 or the reservation to be what I think, that each virtual machine will usually use the value

  4. If done correctly, then vms uses more memory in the limits imposed.

  Is none of this?

  TAM

  1 build a virtual machine and to allocate as much RAM as I think that the VM needs

  Of course, it is better to give more ram and maybe avoid swapping

  2. set the reserve memory on a pool of resources as being the sum of what

  have been allocated to each virtual machine

  Of course, you can, it depends on if you have too many commissioning

  3 or the reservation to be what I think, that each virtual machine will usually use the value

  Resource pools have just two functions restrict or warranty. Constraint is that if you overprovised a virtual computer, you can stop hunger on the other

  VMS. Or guarantee the current host does not have enough resources both by the DRS vmotion virtual machine to another host

  4. If done correctly, then the vms uses more memory limits

  imposed.

• Root user cannot create VMS within the Resource Pool after you rename the Cluster

  Currently, vCenter manages two clusters. I renamed a single cluster and the root user seems now are not allowed to create a new Virtual Machine in resource pools to the title of the group with the changed name. I tried to change the name of the cluster to its original name... no luck.

  The root user can still create a VM under the individual cluster nodes, but not in a resource pool.

  The cluster that has not been renamed yet can be managed completely with the root user. Resource pools it allow me to create a virtual machine.

  I found this last issue and checked on each cluster node that the ACEDataRoleId is-1 for each section: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031192

  I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  I think it's a bug. When I created a new data center and migrate all nodes in cluster about him, the permissions problem I was experiencing did not follow.

  Thank you for your help.

  Heya B, rather than to write an article here on how to do what you need, I took your code and that I take to be what you're trying to do and created a file of Package vCO (see table) of how I would approach...

  Import the package.

  Note that there is a Configuration element with several attributes with empty values. You must complete your values here in the configuration item. Attributes of workflow will be get their values from here.

  Now look at the workflow: notice the attributes and how they point to the configuration item! Now, look in the script task. The code, it is much easier to read and it will be easier in the future to make a change to the resources of the coast and West Coast.

  By setting these specific resources of the infrastructure as elements, you can reference them in many different workflows. And when you make a change to one of the resources that use your workflow (s), it should ONLY need to be done in the configuration item, not the ten to twelve that all workflows need to know what the West Coast Development Resource Pool

  In the vSphere Client, select a resource pool in the left pane. Now, select the Summary tab for the pool of resource selected in the right pane. There is a component of commands (or box) visible in the bottom left of this tab with the following options: Edit virtual machine settings, new Pool of resources.

  Welcome to the community.

  Vcenter Server GUI, you can only plan this operation on the specific virtual machines, not for a whole resource pool.

  The best solution is to use any custom CLI... for example:
