Historical performance in vSphere Client data?

• performance tracking tools: esxtop, vmkusage, VSphere Client,...

  I have been reading some old discussions Forum and white books and am confused about performance monitoring tools are always available or useful under VSphere V4.

  • ESXTOP: seems to be always available.  But are "Interpreting statistical esxtop" and "Using esxtop to troubleshoot problems" v2 days still valid?
  • vmkusage: this tool is still used or available?
  • are the graphics available in the VSphere Client and VCenter modern versions of these?
  • the ESX Server MUI exist anymore?  (referenced in "Comparing the MUI, VirtualCenter and vmkusage")
  • the main square more on performance monitors Appendix A, in the Guide to management of resources?

  Thanks for all the pointers... Lyle

  (1) for esxtop Yes it is valid and this link gives you a good tutorial. you look only in esxtop/resxtop when there is a performance http://www.yellow-bricks.com/esxtop/ problem

  (2) vmkusage is back from vcenter 2.5 update 4. It does not appear as performance under vsphere client tab.

  (3) MUI would be replaced as vcenter web app, but there is nothing much to be seen here

  all and all it's graphics performance for the vsphere client and esxtop for performance troubleshooting on my side. There are modern as vcenter operations tools if you are interested.

• Storage in vSphere Client alert

  I just upgraded to vSphere client and manage an ESX 3.5 shows host... under the vSphere client data store alerts, but no detail... That suppose to mean? where can I find more information about alerts? I didn't have this option in VC 2.5

  Thakns.

  You go to the tab alarms and recognize the alarm?  Should have better details there as well.  You can also reset the alarm to the green.

• Very slow access to data on HP MIcroserver Gen8 warehouses. Can not change the system of booking resources with vSphere client.

  I did a clean install of ESXi 6 with HP supplied image (ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.1.39-Mar2015).
  Access to and from the warehouses of data over network via vSphere Client (6.0.0 - 2502222) is very slow - ~ 10 Mbps (there are several hundred under ESXi 5.5)
  I suspect that ESXi 6 limited CPU resources used by the host to 230 MHz system.
  I can't change the settings 'System Resource Reservation"(unlike ESXi 5.5, where I can change and switch to Simple or advanced mode).

  Hey ArnisR,

  I finally found the problem. In the last 5.5 ESXi and version 6.0, they replaced the driver hpvsa (HP ISO vSphere!). With these drivers, I have known major problems with banks of data and, therefore, the controller B120i (RAID) of the Gen8 MicroServer HP.

  The problem is caused by the last (HP) ISO (from March);

  -Mar2015.iso 5.5.0 - Update2-2403361-HP - 550.9.2.27 VMware ESXi

  -Mar2015.iso 6.0.0 - 2494585-HP - 600.9.1.39 VMware ESXi

  I found out (because I had an older ISO), the ISO VMware ESXi 5.5.0-Update2-2068190-HP-5.77.3-Nov2014.iso works well! With this ISO standard, all performance issues disappeared.

  The difference between the ISO is as follows. The former ISO contains the driver of storage scsi-hpvsa 5.5.0 - 88OEM. ISO (s) of March come with new storage driver scsi-hpvsa 5.5.0 - 92OEM or scsi hpvsa - 5.5.0 - 90. These drivers are the cause of the problems in the controller of B120i!

  Installing ESXi 5.5 or 6 since last ISOs, you must manually install the old driver of storage (SCSI hpvsa - 5.5.0 - 88). I tested with the HPSA file scsi vib - 5.5.0 - 88OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib. Then I adjusted the ISO HP and equipped with the old driver. Now I can install ESXi 5.5 or 6 ISO (custom) of HP, which includes the former driver.

  I hope this helps!

• What "vsphere client lib" or "data-services - 1.0.0" jar file to use in client plugin vsphere-web

  My client plugin project vsphere web contains the two files jar "vsphere-client-lib" or "data-services - 1.0.0. These two jars has many common classes with identical or different method signatures. I used the DataException class in my code that uses the signature of the method of the vsphere client file - lib.jar.

  When I build the project, then sometimes data-services - 1.0.0 jar file gets loaded first and so, build becomes due to a lack of signature of the method.

  I need to know why there are so many classes common to these two pots?

  Can we use only single (also available in the sdk directory) jar of vsphere-client-lib pot instead of data-services - 1.0.0 jar in plugin?

  We can achieve all features using vsphere-client-lib pot instead of data-services jar file - 1.0.0.

  Simply compile your Java with client/vsphere-Java code - lib.jar.  I don't know why you use data-service - 1.0.0 (and where you found it). It is not part of the SDK and is not the doc or samples.

• How to check the type of datamodel in case of response data from application of DataByConstraint in the plugin development web vsphere client

  Hello, I am new in plugin development web vsphere client.

  I need to send multiple DataByConstraintRequest (say A and B data model class) within a class of script simple action. But to handle events of response data, we use

  [ResponseHandler (name = "{com.vmware.data.query.events.DataByConstraintRequest.RESPONSE_ID}")]

  public void onVmListRetrieved (request: DataByConstraintRequest,)

  result: collection ArrayCollection): void {}

  The result is an ArrayCollection of MyVmData of the objects collection

  }

  Here how should I come to know this result variable is either A or class B data model. (including the result can be a collection of empty array)

  In case of DataByModel, we have events in response to the separate data for the data model class, but I couldn't find the same for DataByConstraint.

  You can define a unique ID_Demande for each DataByConstraintRequest and check in the response Manager.  'requestId' is a field of the class of basic DataRequest.

• Extend the data via vSphere Client store - error ' call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' object 'ha-datastore System' on ESXi 'IP' failed '.

  Hi @all,

  I want to thank my datastore on my 5.1 esxi.

  When you extend the data store on the vSphere Client Console, I get the error message:

  German: Call von 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' as Objekt "ha-datastoresystem" auf fehlgeschlagen ESXi 'IP' ist.

  English: Call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' to object "ha-store system data" in ESXi 'IP' failed

  Anyone an idea why I can't extend the data store? The new drive is correctly detected.

  Best regards

  Hello

  This seems to be a local data store. ? This is where the ESXi host is installed. ?

  Thank you

• 'copy' in another data store using vSphere client

  do not use vCenter in this case, just gross ESX with the vSphere client.

  in the browser data store, we can transfer files, download files, move files, and delete files.

  is there a way to copy files from one to another data store in the vSphere client?

  

  Try right click and copy

• How to generate more than one hour performance statistics in vSphere Client 4.0?

  We have installed a trial version of vSphere ESX 4.0 (on processor Intel 8 with Fedora Core 12) and vSphere Client (on Windows Vista 32-bit) and that it provides only 1 hour of performance statistics.  Then apply a license valid, it still generates only 1 hour from CPU graphics and logs.  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Performance logs are exported from vSphere Client by either: a)-> report file-> performance (recorded as file .xls for all virtual machines from the host), or b) right-click on the individual VM-> report Performance... (for the individual VM).  Whatever it is, will appear .xls files contains only statistics of CPU, memory, storage, network and disk of the last hour.

  In addition, the "Graphics Options" in the performance tab will not let you change the interval of time either, although there are options for the 'end '.  They are disabled. Please see screenshot.

  Help, please.  Thank you!

  The configuration is done on the host itself, not on the virtual machine

• Recording of the data via vSphere Client store VMs

  I'm trying to migrate some VMWare Server 2 virtual machines to ESXi but can't see how to import virtual machines of the ESXi Datastore inventory by the vSphere Client. Am I missing something obvious here, or this can be done through the command line?

  Hi Mark,

  A simple right-click on the vmx file should be used. Take a look at the following kb:

  • http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1006160

  It will be useful.

• VSphere Client 4.1.0 I can't customize the graphics.

  Hello

  I was scratching my head now for awhile.

  We run EXSI 4.1.0 Update 1 (348481), and I can't customize maps for my VM:s.

  Everywhere I look, documentation, forums, youtube etc it says/displays two buttons "Overview" and "advance". I do not have them in my performance tab.

  My main goal is to show statistics for 24 h and not 1 h, which is the default. Drinking, that they are all grayed out.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Daniel

  In the screenshot, there are local users & groups tab, which is available only on the connection client vsphere directly to the host. I guess that your connection is directly to the host.

  Host store only the past of time performance data, known as real-time performance data.

  vCenter is the collection of historical performance data and give you the option to choose the type of diagram you want to see.

  If the client is the same, but connect the client to vcenter to get what you're looking for instead of the host directly.

• Setting up a location of scrape persistent by using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  I have an application on behalf of data store when you configure the location scratch using vsphere client.

  This is the step that I have to perform to set up the scratch location and my query is

  I have to specify the name of the data store for step 10, as what I see through the vsphere client IE Datastore1 (vmfs/volumes/Datastore1/.locker - ESXHostname)

  OR

  What I need to specity the unique id that I am able to see in ESXi console that is to say 50060160c46036df50060160c46036df (/vmfs/volumes/50060160c46036df50060160c46036df/.locker- ESXHostname)

  What would be the effect? Configuration with the name of the data store for the vSphere client.

  You can configure the workspace for ESXi using the vSphere Client:

  1. Connect to vCenter Server or ESXi host using the vSphere Client.
     
  2. Select the ESXi host in the inventory.
     
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
     
  4. Click storage.
     
  5. Click a data store, and then select Browse.
     
  6. Create a directory named only for this ESX host (for example, .locker-ESXHostname )
     
  7. Close the browser to store data.
     
  8. Click Advanced under software settings.
     
  9. Select the ScratchConfig section.
     
  10. Change the configuration option to ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation , indicating the full path to the directory.

      For example:

      / vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName /. Locker-ESXHostname

      
      
  11. Click OK.
      
  12. The ESXi host in maintenance mode and restart so that the configuration change to take effect.
      

  I ran a quick test on my test environment. You can safely enter data store, it will be automatically replaced by UUID data store when required restarting.

• vSphere Client roles

  Hello

  I have a question about roles in vSphere Client. In our environment, we have a Cluster assigned to our team of developers. It contains 4 ESX host and a number of virtual machines. In our data center, I have a group created for developers with some restrictions, and this group is assigned to their group. All they can do is, stop, reboot, power on virtual machines, Edit Notes, performance access tab and use the console. In other words I don't want to remove them, create, move, change anything.

  A few days ago I received a question from team leader to put to the point that he cannot see the data stores in the 'resources' tab (it is empty for them). Something that I as an administrator can see:

  

  Is there a way to allow them to see this resource when they select their cause of ESX host summary page they need to know how much space is left on the storage for future developments and applications of new servers? I don't demand that give them a display option, not change, relocation, travel or anything else.

  Thnx in advance.

  Hello

  Assign the read-only role or assign your custom role of "turning the power on, power off. the two will work.

  Good day.

• Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

  Hello

  We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

  I have 2 problems:

  1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

  How can I fix?

  2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

  Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

  Thank you

  Haim defending

  This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

  Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

  scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
  

  Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

   VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"
