• pass fails with a missing resource pool alert

  Hi, I have a server dell power edge r510, with ESXi 5.0 is installed in it.

  in one of the virtual machines within this server, I installed Vcenter (I think that it is Version 5.1) everything was stable until the vcenter database gets 10 GB and crashed and I couldn't fix it. So I installed a new windows with vcenter 5.5 inside vps. and for this new vcenter reconnected to the server. so, I've reconfigured resource pools and VPS users again in this new vcenter.

  Watch ESXi host now as does not not to the vcenter. but all virtual machines inside the esxi server work without problems.  I can't reconnect to the host in vcenter, and I can't connect directly to the ESXi via vsphere client and root password.

  but I can log on to the esxi via ssh or console.

  from the console, I restarted the management services, but it does not help.

  the SSH, I ran the following commands:

  status /etc/init.d/vpxa #.

  vpxa is running

  status /etc/init.d/hostd #.

  pass is not running.

  When I restart pass, it is said has started, but after a few minutes still pass fails.

  How can I change the list of resources of the VM to ssh when esxcli do not work?

  I am facing this problem recently, almost all the 5 days the server will respond is not in vcenter, restart the entire esxi server can solve the problem but it apears again.

  I think that resource in vcenter pools doesn't sync properly with the configuration of esxi, as when I connect to the server directly with root/vshpere it shows different configuration than what I see in vcenter!

  and I can't upgrade esxi host because there are about 10 VPSes important and stable running on this server which is my main server and I can not have time on this server or migrate virtual machines to a different server/IPs.

  because I'm not sure of the compatibility of the versions of drivers/bios nic with ESXi 5.5 and I fear that if I update the ESXi from 5.0 to 5.5 I face other questions strangers/downtime.

  I had the server up and running again, by editing this file: /etc/vmware/hostd/pools.xml

  then I found the VPS with id of the pool of resources 11 evil, changed for another pool of resources as the other virtual machines.

  and then made a

  restart the /etc/init.d/hostd

  all started working again without restarting the whole esxi server and turn off virtual machines, I have searched for about 1 day to solve this simple thing!

  even once when I made a few changes in the vcenter, and then restarted resource pool settings move it in ssh, it fails under vcenter changed the VM resource for a bad configuration pool.

  so I changed the resource pool manually xml and restarted spend, while vcenter can connect to the esxi host.

  then vcenter, again removed all the resource pools and created new resource pools. and this question of time is set.

  There was some resource pool configuration that was imported from esxi host to vcenter which was no longer available and has not been deleted in syncronizations between esxi and vcenter when changed resource pools. and the list of the missing resources caused problems.

• How to get the name of my virtual machine to a named resource pool

  Based on the script ghettoVCBg2 on the platform VIMA, I realized a backup solution for my ESXi (free) servers (also an automatic mailing is integrated ). My next goal is to integrate an automatic selection of my computer virtual based on the name of the list of resources. To understand, I have mainly two categories '1_Productive' and '2_Test', from resource pools. In both categories, there is a resource pool 'SRV' and 'CLT '.

  for example: 1_Productive-SRV-VM

  ------CLT-VM

  At the time of the backup, I have to manually enter the name of the virtual machine in a file. My question is how to integrate an automatic selection for example my pool of resources "SRV." My first idea was to shoot the 'vidiscover.pl' tool and run it for each server separately. Subsequently I merge files into a single file for ghettoVCBg2. You should know I want only to mit backup s excluded '1_Productive\SRV' VM '2_TEST\SRV '. But the name in double "SRV" can be replaced. A really great solution could be a direct integration in ghettoVCBg2

  Could someone help because I'am not very firm with perl programming...

  Thank you very much.

  Take a look at this review of the script: listVMsInResourcePool.pl

• Question about Lab Manager and ESX Resource Pools

  Hello world

  I was wondering if I can get feedback from some of the members of the community.  We used Lab Manager very strongly in our support organizations and it has proved to be a valuable tool.  Recently, we collaborated with the Department of technical training and started hosting online seminars and classes for them using Lab Manager.  Last week we had a fairly large class of users (approx. 45), each duty deploy 2 rather Beefy VMs that were very intensive resources (Jboss, SQL, Mail to name a few).  My colleague and I went through a lot of trials and planning to ensure that our infrastructure can handle the load while allowing our users to date at the same speed and reliability, so that they are used.

  Our Lab Manager ESX server pools made up of the following:

  5 HP DL380 G5 servers with 2 x Quad Core 2.8 GHZ processors (8 cores each) with 32 GB of RAM each

  2 HP DL580 G5 servers with 4 x Quad Core 2.8 GHZ processors (16 cores each) with 128 GB of RAM each

  When the class is running and everyone has made their 2 machines, we noticed for some reason, he was all on ESX2 and 3 deployment (380 s).  Then came the ESX alarms, use of 90% of memory, then more than 100% bringing the disk page.  The CPU usage was at a all time high.

  I look at the 2 580 s and there are about 4 virtual machines deployed on them.

  So my question is...

  How does he know where to launch a Virtual Lab Manager machine?  There's no sense 2 servers have been brought to the red zone, and almost overloaded when the 2 most powerful servers in my farm are nearly dormant.  I noticed sometimes in the past, but not this bad.  Normally, we have about 45-50 computers deployed at some point and it seems to spread them out properly.

  This group of training has access to the same LUN and ESX server with Betclick as any other organization that we have.

  We have decided hosting several sessions of training may be greater than this one and would like to know that the virtual machines will be distributed properly.

  I would like to know your opinion on this

  First to answer your question, then make guess what happens.

  As indicated in response Ilya, LM distributed VMs differently with active DRS resource pools and pools of resources without active DRS.

  LM place VMs when the DRS is not used.

  When DRS is used, we use the DRS admission control to select the host to place virtual machines.

  DRS is turned off, LM uses its own placement routine:

  For each virtual machine, LM filter all managed servers that cannot run the virtual machine. A complete list of patterns are:

  • The managed server has not enough memory or quota for virtual machine to run the virtual machine.

  • The host is not connected to the data store that is the virtual machine.

  • The virtual machine has active state (suspended) and the CPU of the server managed by the waking state has been captured is not compatible with the managed server currently considered.

  • The virtual machine has been a guest on 64-bit and the managed server is not 64-bit capable.

  • The virtual machine has more processors than the managed server.

  • The managed server is not accessible or is set to "prohibit deployments." Not reachable may mean that the lm-agent or its not to ping queries is not answer (this is visible in the list of managed server page).

  Once we have the complete list of eligible servers, we place the virtual machines on the host including the smallest (MemoryReservation % + CPUReservation %). By default, we reserve not CPU on LM VMs, this internship will be largely due to the memory on the host computers if you have not changed the settings of reservation of CPU on your virtual machines.

  For closed deploy to the PF3, force us all virtual machines to go on the same host, so if any virtual machines have any special data store / CPU type specification, all virtual machines is forced to go on this host. If there are conflicting requirements between different virtual machines in the same configuration, deployment will fail. Closed VMs also have another condition to check that is rarely achieved in practice: number of closed networks available on the managed server. By default, this is 20 and you will need more than 20 different configurations closed running on a managed server before you who will strike.  (LM4 allows Cross fencing host, so this does not apply in LM4).

  To make a guess blind because of your distribution problem - if you use the saved state and fencing, it's probably the type of processor.  Processor type can be checked on the host properties page.

  If you not are not I would check that the images can deploy on the 580 s by disabling the 380s and trying to deploy them.

  If you use DRS (which you're not), it could be due to deployment of virtual machines too fast for the algorithm of control for the entrance of VC.  An easy solution for this is to extinguish the DRS on the cluster manager of laboratory.

  We tested load internal repeatedly, the product QA in different laboratories, we run (LM has been used in VMworld Labs for the past couple years and internal systems of training and demonstration for our Organization implemented SE), so no need to worry about this.  I assure you that the first 'real' performance problem you will encounter will be almost certainly due to an overload of your storage array (too many IOPS / s)... and for that you have to distribute content in data warehouses and use techniques of creating paths to balance the load.

  Kind regards

  Steven

• How to delete a resource pool that is read-only?

  An admin on my server ESXi created a pool of test resources and inadvertanly everyone gave read access only.  Now, we can not assigned VM in the resource pool or never remove it.  All admin users have only contextual menus gray when you access that resource group.

  Is there way to delete a resource group or change its permissions to access again?

  If you have not removed from the local Administrators group - you may be able to a new local user of this group and access it that way - by default from the local Administrators group is given admin access to the upper level of the inventory.

• Resource pools

  We have 3 guests in a cluster, 2 x 16 hearts @ 2 200 mhz and 1 x 20 hearts @ 2 300 MHz, which gives us a total of 116 400 MHz. The maximum limit that I can refer to a resource pool is 103 000 MHz, where would lose us the other 13 400 MHz?

  It is the hypervisor above, which is basically the amount reserved for the hypervisor processes run safely.

  It is editable. There is a nice article where Tom Fojta talking.

• Question of Resource Pool

  Hi all

  Small question about resource pools. If I create a resource pool, the CPU and memory, I reserve will continue to be shared in the entire cluster until the virtual machines in the pool so require? Or once that I reserve of 20%, the main pool by default (the other virtual machines in the cluster) will no longer have this resource?

  Thank you very much

  Dave

  Hello

  This part of the documentation is not, however, in the main section its in the SDK/API section.

  This is straight from the vSphere 5.5 resources management pdf

  

  This stipulates that if you put a reserve on the list of resources, it will be discounted from the full resources of the parent. The resources are then considered reserved.

  The video came from VMworld 2012 which was all about the launch of vSphere 5.1 then I guess that his reference to this version.

• Automation of Resource Pool

  I'm currently being responsible to try to automate the allocation of resource pool in our clusters.  Currently our operations team has trouble to the size of the resource automatically, pools or systems are migrated and stocks of resource pool are not delivered to the appropriate amount.  Is there a way I can automate amounts related to actions based on memory and CPU for all VM in an existing pool.

  For example.

  Resource pool includes 7 virtual machines for a total memory 100 000 and 10,000 shares of CPU.  System is migrated on and now the list of resources should be 80,000 memory and 6 000 CPU.  Is there a way to get Orchestrator for the calculation for this and change the list of resources accordingly?

  Ben

  Check out Duncan Eppings post here:

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/24/custom-shares-on-a-resource-pools-scripted/

  These scripts were performed in powershell, but the idea was a weekly script that you can run to automatically maintain the list of resources sharing in the balance that you have discussed.  What you have to do is tweak for your needs then either run on a host of powershell of the vCO, or take the logic and translate it into javascript code.

  Hope this is useful!

• Configuration issue Resource Pool

  We do currently not pools of resources within our environment. What we seek to do is implement with reserves resource pools memory based on our VM sizes. For example, we will create a pool of resources of 4 GB for virtual machines with 4 GB of memory, a pool of resources for virtual machines with 8 GB of memory, 8 GB etc. We would then define the reserve of memory halfway (the virtual machine) for each pool. Thus, the 4 GB VM will have a reserve of 2GB. Our goal in doing this is to reduce the size of our swap files. We have a few virtual machines spread in our environment that are configured independently. For example, a 12 GB VM with a reserve of 6 GB has a 6 GB swap file. At the global level, it could save us a lot of space to store data.

  A few questions while doing this, however. What will happen for the VMs who have already activated bookings? The resource pool overrides the individual VM settings?

  And no one sees this as having harmful effects on an HA event? We had problems in the past in a different environment with reservations (big 38 GB +), and when we lost a multitude of virtual machines have been unable to turn on because there was no more available resources.

  Resource pool reservations have no effect on the reservation of the virtual machine in the pool - they are independent

  Difficulties with HA is a question - another is by assigning reservations to all VM you can come to the point where an ESXi host won't have enough memory to satisfy the reserve causing the VM does not start.

• VCO 5.5 - How can I sort a table / VC:VirtualMachine resource pool?

  Hello

  I want to sort a VM of their resource pool table.

  I tried a few things from various research but none of them does not seem to work, but I can't find a lot of reference material.

  where WindowsVMs is an array / VC:VirtualMachine

  WindowsVMs = WindowsVMs.sort (sortVMs);

  I tried these two functions, I also tried the same thing with the name of the virtual machine as a sorting criterion. Doesn't seem to work and the System.log does not create an entry.

  
  function sortVMs(a,b) {}
  return (a.resourcePool.name > b.resourcePool.name);
  System.log ("0");
  }

  function sortVMs(a,b) {}
  var vmA = a.resourcePool.name.toLowerCase ();
  var vmB = a.resourcePool.name.toLowerCase ();
  
  If (vmA < vmB) {string ascending //sort
  Returns - 1
  System.log ("1a < B");
  }
  If (vmA > vmB) {}
  Returns 1
  System.log ("1a > B ');
  }
  
  Returns the return value 0 //default (no sorting)
  System.log ("0");
  }

  
  Any thoughts?

  Concerning

  Mark

  I have managed to get this to work using this function

  function sortVMs(a,b) {}

  If (a.resourcePool.name == b.resourcePool.name) {}

  return 0;

  } ElseIf (a.resourcePool.name > b.resourcePool.name) {}

  Return 1;

  }

  Returns - 1;

  }

• Issue of booking Resource Pool

  We used vSphere for a long time and this is the first instance where we watched in the use of resource pools to manage cluster resources.  What we try to do is pool funds from several different material groups buy and then distributed in equal shares of resources between these groups, but allow others to expand beyond what their fair share guaranteed if the resources are not being used by other groups.  And if the other groups are starting to need these resources in return, we want vSphere to restore "ready" transparently resources without causing any VM power issues etc.

  I'm pretty sure resource pools set reservations equal to assignment to a specific group is the way to go here.  If I understand correctly, resource pool bookings do not behave as the reserves of the VM, and even though I had to reserve 100% of cluster across pools resources collectively, a resource pool could grow beyond its reservation as long as there was no pretense.  When the contention starts, additional resources to a pool of resources will be taken away, but only to him guaranteed booking.

  Is my understanding of this is all correct?  Am I sure can cause problems, or a better way to accomplish this task?  Thanks in advance.

  It's the way I used to teach on reservations - think a restaurant which has 100 chairs - like the power of virtual machines on they have a number of chairs that they reserved - if the virtual machine needs more chairs he will get more chairs as long that other virtual machines do not use chairs they reserved - not what happens if all the chairs are reserved - the virtual machine will be not able to come into the restaurant (power on) even if there are empty chairs - if expandable restaurants reservations are activated a call is made to the room dining upstairs (the parent pool) to see if there are chairs available - this works in the same way for memory and cpu but memory has the ability to use the by vm vmkernel swap file and continue my analogy if all chairs are so reserved and a virtual machine appears they could sit on the patio, which can make the conversation (hard affect performance).

  When a virtual machine is turned off (leave the restaurant) it will come out of his reserve make room for several virtual machines.

• Good candidates for the resource pools?

  Hi, I do not currently use resource pools, but often the impression that I should watch more in him.  We have our four node 5.1 cluster 16 web servers (among others in the virtual computer) that are exactly the same and serve the same function.  I was wondering if those who would be good candidates to be added to a pool of resources, so they can take resources needed?  I tend to approve statically the RAM and CPU on these "just in case", but maybe it's stupid, if there is a better way.  Thank you.

  Also consider that if you have no compelling reason to prioritize resources for all virtual machines on one of the virtual computer, then you really don't have a reason to use the resource to all pools.  In this case, each virtual computer will be given some memory he needs on demand, DRS will balance the load between the hosts if a host is out of balance, and there will be fairness when ESXi pray return of VMs pages when there is a conflict.

  Discover the vSphere resources management Guide, you will find everything you always wanted to know about the Pools of resources and any other topic of management resources in general.

• CLI command (or script) to determine if a resource pool has enough resources to a virtual machine

  Is there if a VMS resource pool has enough resources available to start the virtual machine WITHOUT triggering an error of vSphere PowerCLI script - or a series of commands - which can be used to determine?

  For reasons of performance test, we use a pool of resources with maximum rates for RAM and CPU.  Each virtual machine in the pool has a reservation for CPU and RAM.  Test automation will try to start VMs as much as possible in the pool during the test.  The CLI will return an error when you start the virtual machine may exceed the amount of allowed resources.  When this happens, an error on the console vSphere "insufficient resources".  Instead of constantly from the virtual machine, fault and generates error - is there a way to check to see if there is enough space?

  Thank you

  Jason

  Hi Jason,

  You can try if the following PowerCLI function is what you need. The function does not resemble stretch bookings.

  function Get-VmStartPossible {
    param($VM)
  
    $VM = Get-VM $VM
    $ResourcePool = $VM | Get-ResourcePool
  
    $CpuReservationUsed = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Runtime.Cpu.ReservationUsed
    $VMCpuReservation = $VM.ExtensionData.ResourceConfig.CpuAllocation.Reservation
    $ResourcePoolCpuLimit = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Config.CpuAllocation.Limit
  
    $MemoryReservationUsed = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Runtime.Memory.ReservationUsed
    $VMMemoryReservation = $VM.ExtensionData.ResourceConfig.MemoryAllocation.Reservation
    $ResourcePoolMemoryLimit = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Config.MemoryAllocation.Limit*1MB
  
    if (($CpuReservationUsed + $VMCpuReservation -gt $ResourcePoolCpuLimit) -or ($MemoryReservationUsed + $VMMemoryReservation -gt $ResourcePoolMemoryLimit))
    {
      $false
    }
    else
    {
      $true
    }
  }
  

  You can call the function with:

  Get-VmStartPossible -VM MyVM
  

• Sort by creation date Resource Pools

  Hi all

  First of all, all the PS newbie here...

  I'm trying to figure out a little PS code to extract that information from our vCenter server.

  If I use:

  Get-ResourcePool | Sort-Object ID - descending

  I got the list based on the prime number, so, for example:

  RP01 ResourcePool-resgroup-99

  Healrp02 ResourcePool-resgroup-881

  Healrp02 is mentioned after 01, even if it was created at a later date, all simply because the first number (9) is greater than 8.

  Is there a way to list by the real resource pools, multiplication, so I can have at the end of the list based on the creation date?

  Thank you

  Luca.

  Although I don't know that he'll give the resourcepools sorted by date of creation, you can sort on numbers in the id resourcepool with:

  Get-ResourcePool | Sort-Object-descending - property {[int] $_.} {Id.Split("-")-[1]} | Select-Object - Property Name, Id
