IOPS / s & latency for each virtual computer

It's my first time to write a script to metrics out of the virtual environment and I'm trying to get out of the latency of disk IOPS and total / s disk for each virtual machine in the environment.

Here are the relevant excerpts I have at the moment:

#Get powered on virtual machines

$VMs = get - VM? {$_.powerstate - eq "Receptor"}

#Loop through each virtual computer

{foreach ($vm to $VMs)

$dskreadlatency = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "disk.totalreadlatency.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

$dskwritelatency = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "disk.totalwritelatency.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

$dsknumberwrites = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "virtualdisk.numberwriteaveraged.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

$dsknumberreads = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "virtualdisk.numberreadaveraged.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

}

#setting fields to the averages of the stats (I have 4 of them)

= [string] $fieldX ([Math]: Round ((($dskYYY |))) Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2))

Unfortunately, I get 0 for all these statistics.  My level settings are all set to 2.  It would be awesome if I could help in this regard.

Just to make sure that the performance data entry process are correctly configured on vCenter, you see the data for these counters on the performance for the same time interval tab?

  • Maximum processor for each virtual computer cores

    Hello

    I need some advice on the maximum number of CPU cores that we assigned to each virtual machine, as well as the maximum number of processor cores physical on the host machine.

    I stumbled on some features of mention about the virtual processors and virtual cores.  Are they referring to the same thing?

    1 virtual core is equivalent to how many physical basis?  1 virtual CPU is equivalent number of physical CPU or core?

    Appreciate your kind reply on above.  Thank you.

    Concerning

    cleohm

    On ESX 1 vCPU is a logical basis.

    It is a heart in a CPU socket, but could also be logical fundamental of a core (if you have HT enable).

    On ESX/ESXi 3.5, there is a limit of max 4 vCPU for each virtual computer.

    On ESX/ESXi 4.0, there is a limit of max 8 vCPU for each virtual computer, but you will need virtual hardware 7 and a license of the company more

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!
  • How can I assign a static ip for each virtual machine

    I have the NIC 2 and 3 vm on my vm server.

    I did find documentation how to assign an ip for each virtual computer fix.

    pleas help me... but probably easy...

    Assuming you have the management and the virtual machines on the same network, attach both rising/NIC bindings to the vSwitch0, configure the management network and tie each VM to the port "VM Network" group. As DSTAVERT mentioned, the IP of the virtual machine configuration is done in the VM themselves, as if they were physical systems.

    sample:

    If you have different subnets for the management and the virtual machines, you must either create multiple vSwitches or work with the VLAN.

  • Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

    I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

    If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

    Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

    1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

    2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

    Top - N analysis

    Weather map

    Analysis of distribution of data

    Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

    3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

    4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

    5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

    6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

    7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

    8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

    You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

  • NET application SAN LUN connection for a virtual computer on the network

    Hi guys

    I have a LUN of SAN NetApp ready for a virtual computer that is connected to the network.

    How can I make the virtual machine network?

    I created another vNic and added to it as a secondary virtual machine network, but is there a better way to do this?

    Should I be using the VMKernel network and choose iScsi?

    Thanks, Julien

    Hi Julien,

    Introduce the network of the virtual machine as if it were any other network. No need to have a vmkernel, unless you want to create an iSCSI data store.

    Set up your network inside the virtual machine with an IP address in the same subnet as your storage space. Try to ping of your storage space for the guest. Configure your iSCSI initiator and present your logic unit number on the virtual computer in your NetApp.

  • Monthly report of IOPS / s for a virtual computer

    I'm trying to get a monthly IOPS / average/maximum s for a virtual machine unique.

    Here is the part of the command I am running:

    $statsRead = get-Stat - virtualdisk.numberreadaveraged.average Stat-entity $vm - Start (get-date).adddays(-30) - IntervalSecs 60

    Any more than two minutes interval causes an error, and anything less than 2 minutes ends up being 20 seconds.  Basically, I can't get IOPS / s for the last hour.  Am I missing something, or is it just the limitation of this counter?

    According to VMware and my own tests, VM IOPS requires level 3 statistics.  After the rise of the level, I am now able to get history IOPS / sec for more than an hour.  Thanks for the tips.

  • VM Variable for the virtual computer object

    Hello

    I am connected to multiple vcenters where we have a few VM objects that have the same name (no duplicates in the vcenter even).

    and I need to run a vm - get when you are connected to the 2 vcenters and store that in a variable $vms

    It is always the case for virtual machines with the same name that if a virtual machine is running in a vcenter, it is turned off in the other vcenter. (DR)

    for virtual machines in this case, I need my variable to store the computer object virtual that is powered AND ignores the engine off... for other virtual machines, I need to power on and power off power vms to be included.

    Here's what I do, but it doesn't work

    $vms = (get - vm |) {ForEach-Object

    If ($_.name - eq $null) {}

    $_ = ($_ |  (Where-Object {$_.powerstate-eq "réceptrices"})} else {$_}

    })

    How about something like the following:

    ## get all VMs from all connect vCenters, and group them by name$arrAllVMs_grouped = Get-VM | Group-Object Name
    
    $arrDesiredVMs = @()## for any group of VMs where there is more than one (2, presumably), only return the PoweredOn VM in the group$arrDesiredVMs = $arrAllVMs_grouped | ?{$_.Count -gt 1} | %{$_.Group | ?{$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"}}## and for the groups of VMs where there is only one VM in the group, add that VM to the DesiredVMs array$arrDesiredVMs += $arrAllVMs_grouped | ?{$_.Count -eq 1} | %{$_.Group}
    

    Who will be:

    1. get all virtual machines and group by name
    2. groups of virtual machines where there is more than one, just take those who are in the PowerState PoweredOn
    3. and, grab all the VMS are groups of count 1 (named unique VMs), without regard to their PowerState

    1. what made the request? It goes to the database? He calls a web service? Provide details

    2. how to access the application, you have a web server or a load balancer? Provide details.

    2 - is a web application? Is possible to test the application from a browser in the same area where the weblogic?

    I would try that because in this way we can isolate the problem to understand if this is a network problem or a matter of WebLogic Server.

  • Change the settings for the virtual computer video card

    After upgrade of several virtual machines to the latest version of material, some of our virtual machines experienced a problem where the 3D has been activated and automatic detection has been updated with the manual. Some side effects have been experienced. I am now seeking to create a workflow to disable 3D and set to automatic detection for our servers. I found the properties "enable3DSupport" and "useAutoDetect" under VirtualDeviceConfigSpec.VirtualDevice.VirtualMachineVideoCard.

    I had planned this script in action and create a workflow to move a virtual machine as the user selects.

    I fired up Onyx and pulled the following information:

    // ------- ReconfigVM_Task -------
     
    var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
    spec.changeVersion = "2013-02-21T16:34:32.130873Z";
    spec.deviceChange = System.getModule("com.vmware.onyx").array(VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec, 1);
    spec.deviceChange[0] = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
    spec.deviceChange[0].operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device = new VcVirtualMachineVideoCard();
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.key = 500;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo = new VcDescription();
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.label = "Video card ";
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.summary = "Video card";
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.controllerKey = 100;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.unitNumber = 0;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.videoRamSizeInKB = 8192;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.numDisplays = 1;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.useAutoDetect = true;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.enable3DSupport = false;
     
    managedObject.reconfigVM_Task(spec);  // VirtualMachine
    
    
    

    I know that most of that is not necessary, but I have tried two different ways and received the following error:

    Cannot convert com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec@1 in [com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec] (name of the dynamic Script Module: changeVideoCard3DEnable #9)

    Can someone provide some guidance? It seems that most actions and workflows in vCO seek information in the environment rather than change things.

    Thank you
