is this setting for VMs cpu limitation cause performance hit for ESX server?

We had recently come vmware consultant do a health check.  One of the things he mentioned briefly that we should change is that we should remove the limitations of cpu that we fixed for VMS.  His reasoning is that it causes needless overhead on the ESX servers.

I was wondering what were the thoughts of everyone on this, I thought that the limitation of the cpu was a good thing because he stopped to a virtual machine in addition to cpu utilization... All opinions are appreciated.

I agree with shishir08 here, the limits should be carefully thoughtover and only be implemented for specific vm:s.

Why limit a machine if there are resources available for this purpose to consume?

However, I think that the actions and reservations always should be applied.

  • Implementation of the array for esx server

    Hello everyone:

    This is my first post here, and I'm a newcomer to virtualization. I've seen given the task of putting in place an esx server. Now, I need to configure a processor computer double hearts HP DL380. I need to set up a 20 GB partition for esx and the rest of the disk space for the second partition for the VMs.

    My question is, what is the best configuration of raid for this scenario.

    Thank you.

    The best option will be to go for RAID 5 (HP RAID DDG), if you want a higher level of redendany (2 disk failures) go for RAID ADG (RAID 6). I recommend that you create a table and two driving logic. A first for the ESX operating system and second to the VMFS. VMFS to allocate a larger share.

  • services.msc logs under "Local System account" instead of "This account" (previous setting for all) on WinXP SP3

    Just recently had problems to Windows Update and Windows Installer that were solved by Maurice N.  When you restart the Windows Installer service (again), I noticed that all the services loading of ' run: services.msc' happen under the Local System account. "  Is this a problem?  Found the remarks after a search online, which implies that it is not a good idea.  Previous setting was 'This account' suggestions on the evolution of this return?  I tried to change, but nothing happened.

    The Windows Installer Service must be on the Local System account.  I would fix the manual start, since he does not need to be put forward at every reboot and it works day and night to do nothing.  If you set it to manual, it will start when it needs start.

    This is true for many Services - as in Help and Support for example.  The 'experts' Support committed by Microsoft engineer will tell you always for this set to automatic, but it the Manual value and you will have more memory and CPU to the things that really matter.

    Please provide a link to the Web pages where read you otherwise.

    If you want to learn more about the Services of XP, I was looking at the site WWW Viper Black here.  Chances are that you have many Services running, you can do without.

    Depending on how much Service tweaking you did on your system and which components you have installed, you should define most of all THE Services to the Local System account.

    On my system, sort the list of services by the "Log on As" column, the exceptions referred to in this PROVISION of account/NT would be:

    Customer DNS (automatic)
    Performance logs and alerts (disabled)
    Remote procedure call (RPC) (automatic)
    Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator (manual)
    Windows Media Network Sharing Service (disabled)

    You can have more or less depending on what you have installed.  If you are not sure, ask.

    P.S. The technician 'expert' advice of technical support to run sfc/scannow has absolutely nothing to do with it.  It's just another one of their wild goose hunting support technician to receive credit for responses with links to KB articles that have nothing to do with your problem and will only waste your time.  You describe not as symptoms suggestive of a corrupt user profile.  It's a real shame.

  • 'Custom actions' of the CPU in the Resource Pools: should I also set the VMs child on "custom"?

    Hello world

    Imagine a VMware vSphere 4.1 cluster managed, of course, by vCenter Server, with some 4.1 ESXi hosts.

    This cluster has 3 Pools of resources: development, Production, quality

    Now consider that the Resource Pools have been initially implemented in the following way, about the 'actions' for 'CPU resources':

    -Development: Shared low =

    -Quality: Sharing = Medium

    -Production: Sharing high =

    Several virtual machines were placed in the Resource Pools. Some virtual machines are single vCPU, but others are vSMP ones: some have 2 vCPU and some of them have 4 vCPU.

    Now, I read the following articles of the (large) put at disposal by Duncan Epping, VMware, in his blog "Yellow brick", on "Resource Pools" and actions:

    The Resource Pool priority-Pie Paradox - yellow bricks [written by Craig Risinger]

    Actions on Resource Pools

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/12/14/shares-set-on-resource-pools/

    Actions on a Resource Pool, custom scripted

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

    Now, imagine that I have manually changed several Pools of resources from low/normal/high "Custom" and gave them the following values:

    -Development: 3000

    -Quality: 6000

    -Production: 9000

    The virtual machines inside each Resource Pool appear to be all set up to 'Actions' = 'Normal '.

    I want to know is this:

    1 - since I changed Resource Pool shares 'Low' / 'Normal' / 'High' to 'Custom', I should / need to change the 'actions' in each individual VM from "Normal" to "Custom"?

    2 - I'm guessing that the sum of the actions of all virtual machines in a Resource Pool must be equal to the actions that I gave to this Pool of resources. Am I wrong?

    3 - I also guess that the only practical way to make this change to Virtual PCs, if necessary, is to generate scripts, preferably using PowerCLI. Friend, I have right?

    Thanks in advance!

    See you soon,.

    Whatever resources the resource pool level are applicable to this pool of resources and will get the part accordingly. So that resources will be divided between the virtual machines according to the shares they hold.

    Example:-two pool of resources A and B.

    Total cycles CPU = 10000 Cycles CPU

    A part (custom set) = 6000 CPU Cycle.

    Part B (custom set) = Cycle CPU 4000.

    Now a resource pool has three virtual machines powered with shares.so high normal and low on this desire to cycles CPU 6000 cases divided among them in 4:2:1

    VM1 have = 4 * 6000/7 = 3428 cycles cpu.

    VM2 will get = 2 * 6000/7 = 1714 cycles cpu.

    Vm3 will get = 1 * 6000/7 = 857 cycles cpu.

    so according to your requirement, you can change your actions at the level of the virtual machine.

    PS:shares come into picture when there is a conflict.

If you open links in a new tab or window, you can simply close the window instead of using the back button.

You can disable "when I open a link in a new tab, swtich it immediately." If I understand your problem, maybe it works better.

  • Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

    I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

    We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

    Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

    ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

    After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

  • Re: Satellite C660-2R3 CPU limitation to 978 Mhz?

    Hi all

    5 days ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 2R3.

    However, I am very disappointed by its performance.

    I run CPU ID/CPU-Z and it turns out that the laptop is limitation up to 978 MHz Core speed to 99 MHz, Bus speed.

    Hello

    You are right. The laptop seems to support the Intel Core i5 - 2430M processor with Intel Enhanced speed Step technology.

    Enhanced Intel speed step technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the frequency of voltage and average core processor, which can translate into a reduction in consumption and a decrease in heat production average. This is the reason why the CPU does not always work at the highest level, but this speed depends on its use for laptop and it will be adjusted automatically by the system

    Recently acquired a heavy ASA company, with network administrators.  They seem to stand for some things to ASA I don't understand quite below.

    This is one site talked, and there's only 1 tunnel on this subject on the hub. This tunnel appealed to the transformation of named sets ""ESP-3DES-SHA "&"ESP-3DES-MD5." " That said, why have they configured transform sets for AES 256, AES 192, AES and if they ask only 3DES transformation sets in the card encryption?  The sub-strategies down from the extract of seem to have something to do with it, but if that were the case, wouldn't you call all transformation configured in the encryption card sets to perform fully all sub-strategies set in this config, because each set of sub-policy puts the encryption to a different type / method?

    Only the transform-set called card encryption will be used. Policies will be judged by priority until a correspondent of the hub is found. Ideally, it would be first.

    You're right for the use case you describe only a single defined and political transformation is necessary. Multiples are often the legacy of the settings by default and, sometimes, an attempt to standardize with each set of transformation and the policy on the ASAs so that no matter where they end up connect to the necessary building blocks are in the config. However, it causes a lot of unused lines.
