Groups of DRS and HA

Hi guys,.

I need to refresh my mind.

I need to create rules of the DRS to keep the virtual machines running on a specific hosts bunch, and that's fine.

What about the HA? the DRS procedure rules will be kept in the case of a virtual machine will reboot due to HA?

I remember that reboot because HA DRS rules are always checked before placing a virtual computer on a specific host, but I need to have this confirmed.

Many thanks in advance,

Daniele

Hi Daniele,

I wrote a few articles on this topic, you can check:

http://frankdenneman.nl/2012/02/SDRS-anti-affinity-rule-types-and-HA-interoperability/

http://frankdenneman.nl/2010/12/VM-host-affinity-rules-should-or-must/

In short, HA is aware of the required rules, (designated with Must (not) run away). HA does not know if the rules.

And after the failover, the first time DRS HA is called (within 5 minutes) DRS violation of rules will correct them before the imbalance of the renderfarm.

Kind regards

Frank

  • New groups of DRS and rules, would avoid vMotion Storm

    DRS groups and rules below look good to present our cluster that has never had one?

    Our current cluster of business (20 hosts running ESXi 5.5U2) does not have rules of DRS in place.  I'd like to introduce five new nodes in this cluster, but I don't want (fully automated) DRS to move our critical production VMs to these five nodes until they are sufficiently burned in.  We want only our critical VMs not filing migrate to these new nodes for the moment.

      2. VMs critics off-production

    Here are the screenshots of the DRS rules that I've not enabled yet.  DRS will attempt to overhaul all of the critical production VMs (1000 VMs) on these existing hosts or will he see that they already exist on these hosts and left alone?  It will be graciously vMotion 100 critical VMs off-production for the new guests I bring in this cluster?  I would like to avoid creating chaos by making the production of 1000 reviews VMs dragging around the existing VM guests.

    With these two rules configured as 'must' of the rules, and all virtual machines running on the 'existing VM hosts', I expect that DRS will start the migration of the 'non-production critical VMs' as soon as rules are enabled. What do I usually when DRS rules configuration is to temporarily put the DRS on "Manual", set / add the rules and then go to the DRS tab see small jets DRS recommend after pressing the button "execute DRS. If the recommendations of the DRS me correspond to the expectations, I then the DRS automatic value again and let her work with DRS.

  • Scipt PowerCli to find VM outside groups of DRS in VMware clusters configuration rules

    Hello


    I have a cluster VMware DRS rules enabled, with 'Virtual Machines to hosts' type.


    Whenever a virtual machine is created, it must be added manually in one of our group of DRS within the parameters of the VMware cluster rules. To check if this action has not been forgotten, we need run a script with PowerCli, showing the virtual machine that are not present in the Group of DRS.


    any idea to create this kind of script?

  • DRS and Resource Allocation

    Hi all

    When to use the DRS and what should resource allocation. Because I have the impression that this has 2 contradicted each other. DRS allows VMs to use resources of other physical hosts right? And allocation of resources defines how a group must use the right?

    Welcome to the forums - they are not at all contradictory - don't forget the DRS is desigined to ensure that virtual machines get CPU/memory resources they need. It does this by monitoring the consumption of resources on each host in the cluster and what host can provide these resources. Since a virtual machine can use resources form one host at a time, if another host has several DRS resources will be vmotion as VM to TI.

    Now, if you define resource assignments to the DRS VM will use these to determine what host will be better satisfy these constraints and requirements - and when the value of resources at a pool level that the elimination of cluster resources - you are really used to divide the resources in a DRS cluster to different groups - the best example this splitting resources between development/test and production so that the Test/Dev do not monopolize depriving them of resources production of virtual machines.

  • AnyConnect tunnel-group automatic assignment without selecting any group-tunnel-group-list alias and user-group strategy.

    Objective is that the anyconnect user must select group-alias, so that when a user enters his username and password he must go to his political group and tunnel-group specific. as I removed this command in webvpn 'no tunnel-group-list don't enable '. This I can not connect (user does not authenticate).

    1 - my question is why his past does not?

    Solution:

    If I keep only a single tunnel-group by default and make several group policies and assign to each user with his specific group policy that it works. in user attribute means I have only question following the commands it works, but if I put "group-lock value test-tunnel" that it did not identify.

    Please explain why.

    Yes, you have the right solution. You only need to create 1 group of tunnel and multiple group policy. Under the attribute of the user, you re then group policy of vpn that you want the user assigned too.

    You can also authenticate users against AD and configure ldap attribute map to map the user to a specific group policy automatically.

    Here is an example of configuration if you happen to have the AD and will authenticate against AD:

  • Group by Date and place of DateTime

    Hello

    I'm looking for some counts that are grouped by date / time to date.  For example, I run the query below.

    ALTER session SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "mm/dd/yyyy";

    SELECT count (distinct contact_id) as charges, created in the created_date

    of s_con_chrctr

    where created > = TO_CHAR('07/01/2015') and created < = TO_CHAR('07/10/2015')

    and created_by = 1-J9455J'

    Group by created;

    The results are as follows.

    COUNTIES CREATED_DATE
    102/07/2015
    102/07/2015
    102/07/2015
    102/07/2015

    I think that what is happening because this column is a datetime column and his back one record for each time specific in this day.  The results, I'm looking for are...

    COUNTIES CREATED_DATE
    1502/07/2015
    1703/07/2015
    3504/07/2015
    1105/07/2015

    How to change my query to group by date and not by date time?

    So created is a date, then do not compare with TO_CHAR literals.

    If you want to skip the part time in your account, use TRUNC:

    SELECT count (distinct contact_id) as charges, TRUNC (created) as created_date

    of s_con_chrctr

    where created > = TO_DATE (July 1, 2015 "," MM/DD/YYYY ') and created< to_date('07/11/2015',="">

  • Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

    Hello

    I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

    Thank you.

    $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

    You set a Datastorecluster?

    If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

    Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

    But you can use something like this

    New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

    This will automatically select the VMHost.

    The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

    DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

  • groups of vCOps and historical data

    I create a group in the vSphere vCOps UI containing a number of virtual machines.

    Once I created the group, I can start to see the metrics from the group.

    However, it seems that when I view the settings for the group in the custom user interface, it is impossible to get all values from before the time that the Group has been created.

    For example, I create the Group on Feb. 1.  Virtual machines have given individual and metrics for them individually since their creation a months ago on January 1.

    However, when I create the group, it seems that vCOps fails to extract data before 1 February.

    For example, I want to get application CPU MHz for the whole group of virtual machines.  Even if the data to calculate the Group exist if vCOps was to review the historical data of the individual VM, vCOps shows only data at the point when the Group was created and not before.

    Is that a correct understanding of the limitation of the groups regarding the preparation of reports on historical data?

    What you describe is how all the resources in vCOps behave with respect to the collection of data (these attributes or supermetrics). Metrics will begin to collect according to the assigned package attributes/supermetrics once the resource is created. Historical data prior to this existing/recovery resource is not available.

    So I would call not this specific behavior of "groups" because that is how all resources behave with respect to the collection of data.

    Network also label: my understanding is that it's just label No technical significance in configuration?

    One VLAN is one of the many settings that you can configure for a group of ports, you also have the tabs security, Traffic Shaping and consolidation of NETWORK cards.

    Port group name, you associate you a VM port group must be placed systematically on other hosts if you want to migrate or virtual failover from one host to another.

  • VMware DRS and VMware HA

    I'm allowed to use VMware DRS and HA but I'm not familiar with what exactly they can do for me and how they might relate to Vmotion.  I turned on my 2 hosts of vmotion, but I guess my virtual machines do not automatically move from one host to another one grave host fails, until it is completely configured.   Could someone give me a quick description and point me in the right direction on how I can use?

    I have licenses for the company for the full suite of vsphere.

    DRS - distributed Service Resouces

    This process will recommend to move a virtual machine for performance reasons.  This can be set to automatically move virtual machine.  We have defined it this way and it works very well.  VM move on their own see and at night.

    HA - high availability

    If a host goes down, this service starts the VM who have been on this subject, to another host automatically.  The virtual machine will be turned off unexpectedly well.

    FT - fault tolerance

    This feature is introduced in ESX4 and keep a copy running on another host.  If the primary host fails, the other takes over with no downtime.  It is currently limited to VM with one vCPU however.

    DRS and HA are configured in the properties of a Cluster.  If you do not have a cluster, right-click on a datacenter in VC and create a cluster.  Move the hosts in the cluster.  Drag and drop works fine.  Right-click on the cluster, and then select both.  Once activated, you can configure the DRS and HA.
