Host and guest CPU and memory count

Hello

I just installed ESXi 3.5 on a DELL PowerEdge R710 with 2 processors to 4 cores of each and 8 GB of memory. I created a Windows 2000 Advanced Server client in this regard. The issue I'm having is the inability to allocate 8 vCPUs with 8 GB of RAM at the prompt. The setting for processors made 4 and although I have allocate 8 GB, the guest operating system shows only 4 GB. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

With ESX 3.5 the maximum number of virtual processors, you can assign the machine virtual is 4 - If you want to have a VM with 8 virtual processors, you must buy vSphere (ESX/ESXi 4) with ENterprise Plus license allows you to run a virtual machine with 8 virtual processors - in terms of memory if the o/s is 32-bit by default can only access 4 GB.

    As seen, no swap no used. Why VI customer counters and swap file size differs so much use of guest operating system counters.

    Hello

    You are looking at two different levels of memory usage. VI customer, you can read information about the actual use of memory and swap ESX. It differs generally you can read from within the guest for example OS Linux. VM swap file (not asked) if used by VMkernel in situation when the assertion of memory occurs. Lack of memory is mapped in the Exchange. It is the last resort and causes significant performance degradation.

    Guest os swap is "high" this VM swap. It is entirely managed by the guest operating system. It size is based on the memory configured for VM and guest OS configuration. Only the situation when VMkernel can affect the exchange of comments is the balloon pilot. It is a breakthrough of technical recording memory that allows ESX to "say" the guest OS some free memory and use more swap file (Exchange of comments!). Freed memory can be reclaimed by VMkernel and used by other virtual machines. This driver is available for the guests with VM Tools installed.

  • host 32-bit with 64-bit hosts and memory usage?

    I use 32-bit Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP2 as a host Workstation 6.5.

    The material is Intel T9550 with 8 Gio of RAM.  The 32-bit operating system will not use 4 Gio of RAM.

    With Workstation 6.5, a guest operating system will be able to use memory outside the host of the limitation of the OS 4 GiB?

    If the host operating system is 32-bit, 64-bit guest OS can be created?

    No, unfortunately it turns out that it is impossible. You will not be able to see more than the 4 GB, unless your host operating system is able to see the memory using a PAE switch, or by using a 64-bit host OS. As Vista does not support the PAE switch, your guest operating system will be limited to the 4 GB as the host OS.

    If the host operating system is 32-bit, 64-bit guest OS can be created?

    Yes it is certainly possible. But you must make sure you enable VT-extensions. See also the excellent article by jmattson on troubleshooting problems of Intel VT - x

  • script which gives the hostname with more CPU resources and memory available

    Hello

    Concerning

    Vickie

    Hello, VicMware-

    You can get the host with the free CPU, or with the most free memory resources, using the following:

    ## get the host with the most free CPU cyclesGet-Cluster myCluster0 | Get-VMHost | Select-Object Name,    @{n="CpuMhzFree"; e={$_.CpuTotalMhz - $_.CpuUsageMhz}} | Sort-Object -Property CpuMhzFree -Descending | Select -First 1
    
    ## get the host with the most free memoryGet-Cluster myCluster0 | Get-VMHost | Select-Object Name,    @{n="MemGBFree"; e={$_.MemoryTotalGB - $_.MemoryUsageGB}} | Sort-Object -Property MemGBFree -Descending | Select -First 1
    

    The first would have produced something like:

    Name          CpuMhzFree
    ----          ----------
    myVMHost0          25384
    

    And the latter didn't would be out:

    Name           MemGBFree
    ----           ---------
    myVMHost4        122.323
    

    .. .or each of these host computers are those with the most free memory/CPU cluster, respectively.  What to do the things for which you are looking?

  • Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

    Hello.

    I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

    I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

  • Window Media Player.exe using 100% of CPU and memory

    I have a Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 4 GB of memory. Windows Media Player.exe supports my CPU 100% usage and it is striking all my memory - 4 GB.   It started right after I set up a homegroup.

    I had to go into Admin/service and change the Startup Type to disabled for:

    • Windows Media Center Receiver Service
    • The window media services planning service
    • Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    I tried setting services to manual, but Windows Media Player has yet caught all the CPU and memory, he could then I disabled all the.

    I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.

    Hello

    I think this explains the problem.  The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.

    C:\Users\Rick

    C:\

    To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove.  When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.

    I don't know why it slows down, but it may be because of the memory or cpu.

  • Message box blackBerry 10 bottom Z10 with cpu and memory info.

    I noticed a message box at the bottom of the screen that has info on the device such as the States of C CPU power and memory info. It doesn't go away with a traction battery, or soft reboot. I've never seen anything like this in the forums before... anyone know what it is? I have attached a picture.

    OS - 10.3.1.634

    STL 100-4 on Verizon

    Use the Web when it first appeared.

    Thanks for the responses... I reload the os when I'm home.

    It is a diagnostic screen that appears in the earliest versions of development of an operating system.  It is an overlay and does not appear in the screenshots.

    You need a much more recent version 10.3.1.  a version of 900 or higher got rid of this screen for good.

    Make a diagonal cut on your battery icon in the upper left corner.  It will be a chart after forcing the screen to refresh by dragging a page more.  Drag the icon of the battery again, and it should disappear completely with an another refresh of the screen.

    Every time the battery will scroll the display of text-box/graph-box/nothing in this diagnostic box.

    It is possible that I got the wrong order, so it could disappear after one kick and then come back with the chart area first coup, so just keep at home.

    But, again, just get 10.3.1.2744 if you do not want to go to 10.3.2 immediately.  You obviouly know how to use an automatic charger since you could not get 10.3.1.634 on your phone otherwise - that the operating system has never been a release of the carrier and was leaking to all about September or October of last year.

  • Can I use an antivirus on each of my hosts and guests at the same time when running a virtual environment on my PC?

    I have Windows 7 running on my main computer at present and that you have a virtual environment installed as an operating system on this computer very.

    I would like to know if I am able to run an internet security on my pc (Windows 7) host program and other internet security on my guest in my virtual environment operating system (pc windows 8)... at the same time.

    I ask this question because... I installed my OS of windows 8 in a virtual environment running inside my Windows 7 OS in order to familiarize yourself with the features of windows 8 and to test the compliance of windows 8 with various hardware components I use... to satisfy my curiosity before I migrate eventually completely to windows 8.

    Part of my tests would involve various software including Internet security applications.

    So the question is... I was able to save my virtual environment with an Internet security program, while having an Internet security program running in the host computer?

    PS my environments hosts and guests are not put networked with the exception of the common external drives and dvd burners. The plan being that the Internet security on my host computer program will have my analysis excluded virtual environment.

    Yes

    The systems are completely separated from each other, will not affect the different AntiVirus on another product.

    If you decide to test another Internet security program don't forget to completely remove the old version on the virtual machine
