Host of XP with 4 GB of Ram - how much memeory can I connect to all virtual machines?

I am running 2 VM (XP Pro - 32-bit)) on the XP Pro - 32-bit host (running Server 2.0).  I know there is a restriction on the host computer using only 3 GB of it, but I was wondering if the virtual machines have this limitation.  Example - if I assign 1.5 GB for each of 2 virtual machines, that is to say 3 GB used my VM 2 - will be the other 1 GB can be used by the host?  Alternativle, could I run 3 VM each with 1 GB and then the host would use the 1 GB remaining?  Or anything running on the system limited to 3 GB?

I noticed when creating VM will occur, he says that I can attribute something like 4096MB before the exchange of memory?  Seems weird to me.  Any info on how memory is managed is useful!  I am not concerned about performance problems... I understand the limitation of the who simply want to understand whether or not the last 1 GB of ram is even used.  Thank you!

in fact, you don't have to worry about this

the VM process will be spread in all of your CPU/cores/HT etc.

  • No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

    I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

    1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
    2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
    3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
    4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
    5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

    So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

    Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

    Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

    Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

    Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

    To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

    How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

    I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

  • All virtual machines on my ESX host off power at the same time

    Hi all

    Recently I attend the interview. a guy asked me this question

    < police = "Times New Roman, serif" >all virtual machines on my power off ESX at the same time host < / police >< / police >?

    What was the cause of the highest of the error, how to troubleshoot the error.please me.anybody guide to address this problem?

    Thanks

    Surya

    If all the virtual machines if lower at the same time, my bet would be VMware HA. Just for fun, build it inside your head:

    (1) 8 ESX nodes, all service consoles connected to a unique management switch.

    (2) now to create a cluster of these nodes, put all your virtual machines in there and activate HA, choose ' host isolation response: power off.

    (3) draw power from your management switch. HA on each host will deduct that the host is isolated-> turn off all the virtual machines.

    Each host will think the same thing, and hop find you with all virtual machines down to the time in the whole of the cluster. Have seen this one several times when people go and upgrade their management switches in the evening ("hey, it's only management").

  • How to find the IP address of the virtual machines from the host Linux

    Hello

    Y at - it a tool that can resolve the IP address of the linux host running VMS, when using NAT and DHCP networking?

    I can find by logging on virtual machines, but I need to retrieve automatically these addresses for the host scripts will not have to be changed manually when IPs change.

    Thank you

    Host: Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, WS6.5

    Probably the easiest solution is to use static IP addresses... Having said that, what I meant was:

    Each machine (real and virtual) has a unique MAC address. If I create a file (database type) with the name and the MAC address of each virtual machine, then I could use nmap or arp commands to get the IP address. For example, I create a table and put it in a file like this:

    VMName1 00:14:BF:19:45:61

    VMName2 00:0E:5 C: 1 has: 44:1E

    Name of the machine 3. etc.

    Then I could run a combination of arp and/or nmap to find the MAC address of active machines and their respective IP addresses. For example, running:

    sudo nmap - sP 10.0.2.0/24

    This gives on my local network:

    Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-08-14 18:09 EDT

    Host 10.0.2.1 seems to be upward.

    MAC address: 00:14:BF:19:45:61 (Cisco-Linksys)

    Host 10.0.2.99 appears to be upward.

    MAC address: 00:10:83:BB:08:99 (Hewlett-Packard Company)

    Host 10.0.2.130 appears to be upward.

    MAC address: 00:0E:5 C: 1 has: 44:1E (Motorola BCS)

    Host 10.0.2.134 appears to be upward.

    Nmap done: 256 IPS (4 hosts upward) scanned at 3.71 seconds

    So, now, I know that the machine VMName1 with MAC 00:14:BF:19:45:61 has IP 10.0.2.1 and is it my Linksys router.

    Just a thought.

  • The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

    Hello.

    I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

    1 get the view of data center

    2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

    3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

    4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

    Above information is a table.

    I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

    Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

    Thank you.

    You can try one of the following values-

    1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

    2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

    The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

    $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

    my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

    ...

  • I can't power on a virtual machine (with linked disks) after the addition of new hosts of Lab Manager

    ENVIRONMENT

    -Lab Manager 3 using VC 3.5

    -Initially the 2 hosts in a cluster and managed by LM

    -Added new cluster with 2 new hosts in VC

    -Two bunches pointing to the same NFS storage

    PROBLEM

    -When you try to turn on a computer in new cluster, I get a "requested file" "not found" error

    RESULTS

    -This seems to happen only when creating a virtual machine that has virtual disks of parent; most of our VMS is linked clones

    -When you look at the log file, please see attachment, we found the following:

    It is the location of the new virtual machine in the new host:

    /vmfs/volumes/fabdf38d-beff047d/LMW2K3/2909/002909-T_XP_SP3_32b.VMDK

    When you look at the hard, it points to the parent disk, but it seems that it does not:

    /vmfs/volumes/6586c772-53eee1bb/LMW2K3/2904/002904-T_XP_SP3_32b.VMDK

    Please note th volumen IDS are different and can not get the disc parent of the new machine.

    SOLUTIONS?

    Thank you

    Jose

    You should immediately stop using the new hosts otherwise creating new virtual machines can spoil the vmdk channels. Try http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005930.
