Host is not all hearts on dual quad-core system

Hello

I've been Googling it until I'm almost blind.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have two HP DL360 G5 servers, both with two processors quadricoeurs running ESX 3i (built-in), version 3.5.0 build 123629.

Creating new virtual machines, I noticed that there are only four processors to choose even if the description in the summary - & gt; General - & gt; States of processors I have "8 x 2,666 GHz CPU" (see attached image).

Is this a problem with the license?  On Configuration - & gt; Under license features - & gt; ESX Server Edition, I have an entry for "up to 4 - way virtual SMP".  Does this mean that I won't be able to take advantage of all 8 cores?

Thank you

Scott

Thread moved to the ESXi 3.5 forum.

-Fix the ESX 3.x supports only up to 4 virtual processors to a guest.  When you run multiple guests, the software will take advantage of all the CPUs available for her

  • Unique use of VM CPU on the system dual quad core CPU

    My environment: two machines, a Dell 2950 with dual quad core CPU, running ESX 4.0 Advanced.

    Machine 1 to several virtual machines on it.

    Machine 2 has a virtual machine that hosts a .NET/IIS web application built by an external supplier. The web application is having performance issues (users requests take a long time to complete in some cases). I suspect, without having yet done an in-depth, analysis is that the web application is not well resolved/optimized/designed.

    The declared owner of hardware requirements is exactly how Machine 2 is - dual quad core CPU. However - There's the rub: I did not understand if a single virtual machine running on this computer can actually use all the resources, particularly CPU resources, on the machine. And my application provider takes that position - since we have not met the minimum hardware requirements for the application, which can be the cause of the poor performance, which means that the seller has no responsibility for the performance issue.

    I tried to understand/consider the Enterprise more than vSphere edition, because it seems possible that only this version of vSphere would allow me to assign all the hearts of all the processors from the server to the computer virtual one. However, this seems like overkill, and also, after some reading on the SMP of Enterprise Plus features, it seems, as using SMP can help in some cases and poorly in others.

    Right now I'm looking to remove vmware Machine 2 and just install the application on the machine, in order to eliminate the possibility that vmware restricts the application to all physical resources (CPU). But I thought I'd ask a glimpse of this group first.

    Any input appreciated.

    Thank you

    Each physical core (or "core" hyperthreading) is considered to be one vCPU. You will therefore 8 vCPUs in your system (assuming hyperthreading is not enabled). However, you can approve vCPU which means that you can run several virtual machines than available vCPUs. This is because you do not usually have the VMs that need all the power of the processor, and they can be used more efficiently with VMware planning the vCPUs.

  • Installation on a quad core system

    Hello!

    If I have a quad core system, should I two licenses if I want to use all 4 cores?

    What the installation process? Is is possible to use the key in this case?

    Thanks for the tips!

    Marcos

    Yes, to deploy LiveCycle on a server of hearts, you need two licenses of LiveCycle CPU.

    Yes, turn-key can be used.

  • problems with cpuid.corespersocket is not all hearts

    Hello

    I have a dual CPU quad socket and I'm trying to set up a Server Windows 2003 32-bit standard to see all 8 cores available for it, but so far I didin't make OS see more than 4 processors, or cores. Affecting the vCPU 4 and hearts by the results of the 2 in only a 4-processor in the Task Manager, by using less than 4 vCPUs makes no difference in the change of cpuid.corespersocket. It's always show only what I put on the account of vCPU.

    I'm testing a free license of ESXi 4.1 update 1, I can't implement 8 vCPUs with 2 hearts of each to test if it works.

    What else can I do in this case to reflect the 8 cores inside the virtual machine?

    Kind regards

    The free license as well as all other licenses except the Enterprise Plus license are limited to 4 vCPUs for a guest. If you are still in the period eval (60 days), you can set the host mode of assessment and value vCPUs 8 and carrots by socket to 4, which will result in 2 hearts virtual CPUs in guest OS:

  • Windows 7 appears not all hearts

    Previously, I had Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit no service pack installed upward on the AMD FX 6100. The Windows experience index, the number of processors hearts was leaked like 6. After replacing my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit service Pack 1 operating system, I found that the number of specified processor cores became 3 instead of 6. I tried the fix provided by Microsoft, repeated several times Windows experience index, tried the utility system configuration, but in vain. Could someone please fix this?

    CPU AMD FX 6100 is divided into three modules with two nuclei by heart physical ' logic', so the reports are specific for different reasons (assuming that you have not experienced a drop in performance of the real world).
    The disparity in terms of communication is due to the design in the 'modules' of FX series cpu, the power sharing
    and the way Windows this module/kernel configuration.
    You may be able to get six hearts reported again so. Check in the BIOS cpu settings and see
    If the core cpu control is set to auto vs manual.
    'Turbo' on or off may also change the way Windows reports the number of cores.

  • VM can't see that 2 CPUs in the Manager of tasks on Dual Quad - Core ESXi

    I use ESXi 4.0 on Intel ICH7 Council.

    ESX Server sees 2 PCPUs and 8 vCPUs (without hyperthreading). It is a system of double-quad 2.5 Ghz.

    I assigned 4 vCPUs to install a VM and installed XPx64.

    After installation, the Task Manager shows only 2 processors.

    The Device Manager shows 4 processors.

    Device Manager displays Multiprocessor PC ACPI x 64

    When I max the ESX virtual machine CPU tops out at 5 GHz used on 20 GHz maximum, so only 2 hearts are used by the virtual machine.

    I installed the VM tools and restart - no change.

    I reinstalled the driver ACPI - no change.

    I checked the mobo BIOS and all the VT type parameters are enabled, which is how I could get the ESXi to see 8 procs in the 1st place.

    I connected the ESXi Server vSphere and installed XPx64 using 8 processors.

    The VM shows still 2 CPUs in the Manager of tasks and now 8 in Device Manager.

    Is there a restriction that I am not aware. I tried a 2nd Server ESX 4.0 (no ESXi) and it shows the same behavior on a double-double (4 physical) processor.

    I don't know what the problem is. I know XPx64 supports more than 2 processors as I installed directly on the Board that ESX is installed and reached 8-processor in the Task Manager.

    Someone at - it any other ideas? Thank you.

    I believe that XP Pro supports only two physical casings, although it recognizes other nuclei (or HT).  There is a setting that you can change in order to have your vCPUs appear as kernels rather than separate half-bridge processors.

  • How will I know if my PC is dual/quad core?

    This is the link with the record of my PC:

    I took a chance. It is a dual Core i3 2310M.

    It shows 2 hearts, but 4-wire. It is because of Intel's Hyperthreading technology which can make Windows see as being 4 logical cores, but only 2 of physics. But, it is technically only a CPU dual core.
  • ESX 3.5 u3 on Dell PE2950 dual xeon quad-core VT on but no 64 bit comments support

    I have a new installation of ESX 3.5.0 day 3 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with dual quad-core Xeon.

    I thought that I had put the virtual switch on in the BIOS, but I must have not correctly saved my changes before installing ESX.   When I tried to install SLES10 SP2 X 64 in a guest (configured for SLES10 64-bit), he saw a 32-bit environment and would not install.

    I closed on the value VT in the BIOS and rebooted - the same thing.

    Stopped again, checked VT in the BIOS, reinstalled using the upgrade - the same option.

    Y at - it an obscure frame a place to activate the customer support 64-bit or am I screwed and reinstall from scratch?  Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

  • "Cluster contains not all hosts" in the Web Client

    Hi VMware community,.

    Anyone know why when deploying a VM from a template in the vSphere 5.5 Web Client, we see an error 'Cluster does contain all the hosts' (see screenshot)?

    Thank you

    I could be wrong, but according to the screenshot, the specified hosts are not in the cluster, but at the level of the data center!

    You have only one physical processor that implements revision VT VMCS a 7 and another that implements revision VMCS VT 11.  These processors are not compatible for execution of VT.  One processor is family 6 model 15 stepping 7 and the other family 6 model 15 stepping 11.  Intel has released a firmware fix that resolves this problem for the processors that differ only by deepening.  You should check to see if there is an update of the firmware from Apple that contains this fix firmware.

  • LabVIEW host could not download my_subvi.vi Labview 2009

    My problems started with the jump in Labview 2009. When I try to deploy my project during execution of the façade on my host and the remote control code, I get:

    Host LabVIEW cannot download my_subvi.vi. "my_subvi.vi" is a random under vi of the project. It can be different every time. This happens to my RT PC and so far not for PXI box.

    After talking with OR I downloaded the 2009 SP1 update and all other updates to run the RT kernel to version 9.01. I've updated the remote computer does not change.

    I also did a little test. I can run a simple empty code as a moment of pure looped and that is fine, but when I add a Subvi it gives me the same error each time.

    I have a quad core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM. A lot of memory and time processor. I used to run it with 8.2, 8.5.1 and had no serious problems.  My RT PXI seems to be good so anyway...

    Ideas?

    After talking to the consultant NOR I found the solution.

    It's all just stupid but works. I removed the second stick of memory - I have 2 + 2 GB of RAM; It works now. LabView RT apparently has problems with address more than 2 GB of RAM. I wonder if it has something to do with memory dual channel or not. What happens if I had 4 + 4 GB memory - would I have to buy 2 GB mem?

    Oddly enough, it was working fine with this configuration under Labview 8.2, 8.5, 8.6 and stopped at 2009 and 2009 SP1.

  • Dual-Core or Quad core for 3 Mainstage

    Hello

    I'd go with the quad core. MS will use as many hearts as you want. Simply enter the number in the Advanced preferences Audio settings. You can use all of them, although I've seen a few comments about letting a carrot or two open for the operating system and other processes on the computer. With the i7, there are also 4 virtual cores, so you will see 8 in preferences. I usually give 7 MS and leave an opening for the OS, but I didn't a lot of testing with this, while others may have more information about what I do.

    Definitely go with 16 GB of ram. If you start using instruments of large sample, you will need. You can use aliases to manage memory more efficiently, but it is nice to have enough ram so that you do not have to worry not so much stuff like that. I use 5 Kontakt and EXS a bit and I would certainly hurt if I had only 8GB. Generally, I think that the required memory tend to go up, in order to have more ram will prolong the life of your computer. Unfortunately (and incredibly!) you can't add ram later, because I believe that the ram is soldered to the motherboard.

    I am also a big fan of getting the biggest SSD (or all what they call the last storage solid-state on recent Macs) you can afford. You cannot replace this component on the newer models of MBP either, then you will be stuck with what you buy. Applications, sample libraries, plug-ins, etc, that all seem to grow in size over time and it's not funny if you run out of room.

    Good luck!

  • CPU dual core quad core replace on the radiator? Mini Tower Optiplex 755

    Hi, I am currently using a dual core 6850 and I think to buy a quad core. I have a 500W PSU as a spare.

    Can I replace the CPU on a Quad Core without changing the cooling system?

    heinflhs

    Here are the specifications of the replacement PSU part. Are they not better than the original power SUPPLY Dell block?

    This power supply is ATX and not EPS12V

    Better is not the issue.  Dell power supplys 80% efficient are not 70% ATX.  The - 5v rail is a question too although it may cause a fire from the motherboard or damage your system.  Its a dead giveaway that this is a power ensure between 1990 and 2000.

    This current is on track is not negligible. There is a single 12V RAIL on that unit and its maximum is 17A

    EPS 12V units have multiple @ 18 amps 12V rails each.  MAX Power on 12V rails is 264w not 204w

    This unit has much more on the 5V and 3.3V rails at the expense of the independent 12V rails and CPU 4 pin. So not this emergency equipment is not likely to work well or not at all.

    Recommended update or replacement is EVGA 750B 1

  • CPUID (1) do not return don't not every bit of functionality on the new Xeon Quad-core processors?

    I use VMWare Player 3.0.1 build 227600 and have noticed the same problem on Windows xp and RedHat Linux images a quad-core Xeon. A colleague has seen the same problem using Fusion as well.

    On the host operating system (Mac / Windows / Linux) I am getting the output of the CPUID (1) next:

    CPUID (1): eax = 0x000106a5 ebx = 00100800 ecx = 0x009ce3bd edx = 0xbfebfbff x 0

    Present exactly the same code within an operating system invited to VMWare Player:

    CPUID (1): eax = 0x000106a5 ebx = 04100800 ecx = 0 x 00980201 edx = 0x0febfbff x 0

    Futher code in the library specifically to care little 28 in the edx register, which is located on processors that support hyperthreading or multiple cores (and as we know, the new Xeons support both). My images VMWare configured to run at 2 or 4 processors, but identification CPUID code does NOT see EDX bit 28 as being fixed. Example code for the multi-CPU identification of Intel assumes this bit is defined for topology CPU counts as well. (I won't go into the other differences in ebx, ecx and edx).

    The same test code running on a Core 2 Duo on the host operating system product:

    CPUID (1): eax = 0x000006f6 ebx = 01020800 ecx = 0x0000e3bd edx = 0xbfebfbff x 0

    Operating exactly the same code in a guest OS in VMWare player on the Intel Core 2 Duo (same image VMWare):

    CPUID (1): eax = 0x000006f6 ebx = 00020800 ecx = 0x0000e3bd edx = 0xbfebfbff x 0

    As far as I know, the only variable here is the CPU. The code that runs directly in a welcome what OS behaves properly on the Xeon Quad-core and Core 2 Duo, so the problem seems to be somewhere in VMWare Player.

    From what I saw, there were several problems Xeon in VMWare for a while - maybe it's just another one of them.

    Has anyone other saw this and have a reasonable and safe solution to correctly detect the core CPU / cache topology if VMWare is the mixture?

    If you run your guests with binary translation, we are unable to intercept CPUID executed at CPL3, because that code runs in direct execution.  Under the binary translation, that we can only intercept CPL0 CPUID instructions that we translate.  The title of the material assistance to virtualization, intercept us all the instructions of CPUID, regardless the privilege level.  I suppose you issue CPUID from user code at CPL3.  You should be able to play with the privileged execution mode and see the effects of translation binary vs VT - x.

    Under translation binary, if you "clear acceleration", that we can intercept all the instructions of CPUID, because then everything is translated.

  • I get this message. It leads me to a page which certainly does not all missing photos.

    I get this message too. It leads me to a page which certainly does not all missing photos. There is no missing pictures throughout the project. What is happening in a number of strange bugs:

    • On a particular page, I drag a photo to share with others and he disappears and a third unrelated to photography appears in its place, which arrived with about four pictures, but not with others. Finally, I removed the odd pages and inserted brand new to work around him.
    • The pictures that I wanted to add that had disappeared and been replaced by others at random that I had to reproduce and add to the project because that drag / drop the original versions, they meet in the drawer of photos available at the bottom of the project.
    • Backgrounds not showing not chosen when in page view individual but reappear when I go back to the overview of the project

    I feel like there is something a little more complex going on that I narrowly missed an empty space. I have spent days and days on this project which is 64 pages long and do not want to lose my job!

    Can anyone help please?

    My pictures is the latest version - I have installed at El Capitan yesterday (in the hope of resolving the problem of missing funds). I'm on a Macbook Air 11 ''.

    Since you have any other software you don't have the same problem (and if you get this message, you don't have a photo of the missing - you will find it will continue as posted)

    go through your book and check that no page has a gray background (it is an indication that a photograph is necessary for the bottom), that there are no missing pictures on the pages requiring a photo which are then covered with a photo and that all the pictures of a photo inside - yor have most certainly not a picture missing in your phpotobook
