• Do not allow the virtual machine to power on if the host memory usage over 75%?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a way to do not allow the power of virtual machines on if the clutser average memory usage is greater than 75%, or if its corresponding host memory usage is greater than 75%.

  Any idea.

  Thank you very much

  Hey Valot,.

  One way to achieve this is HA admission control that does not allow a virtual machine to be turned on if the availability constraints are not met

• Questions on the host memory usage

  I was wondering if someone could give some insight on the following situation. We vSphere host set upwards with 32 GB of RAM. On this, we have 10 VMware View desktops and a couple Server VMs. We have configured each in order to have 2 GB of RAM. The host is showing an alarm for the host memory usage, but if you look at each of the virtual machines Windows XP, memory is granted way superior to the active memory. We have no reserve set and actions are set to normal. I wonder why the system reports a memory constraint when the largest part of the memory is alocating is not active.  In addition, the shared memory is showing 0. So this means that the memory page sharing does not locate? Am I missing something?

  ESX has called fresh General.  A virtual machine has 2 ways to manage memory.  a physical machine has one, physical RAM, and when this physical RAM disappeared, the operating system is left with only one option, Exchange.

  VM works the same way.  A material divides the virtual machine into small sections, only they have hard limits.  So your VM is 2G, the operating system and virtual machine sees only 2 GB of RAM.  When this RAM was gone, the operating system must decide where the extra RAM is come.  Since it is a Vritual machine, the RAM of the machine can ALSO be swapped.

  So, when you create a virtual machine, and you do not have reservations, you say that the Virtual Machine to get the RAM of the host, if this fails, get from a pagefile on the RAM disk.  If not THEN the operating system can use internal swap, but ESX requires a virtual machine to use his 'balloon' driver to lead you to the top of RAM internal and fool the operating system into thinking that he MUST use internal swap. It is probably where you are confused.

  The use of the RAM that you see is the virtual machine, taking all THE RAM of the host.  If the host has say 48GB of RAM, and you have the run of the 10 mV, which is more than 20 GB of RAM in use.  There is a LOT of RAM left other virtual machines, so in this case, the memory of the host is high (use), but not ACTIVE, which means allocated for the virtual machine, but the OS is not really 'use' for the moment.

  When you add multiple virtual machines, you will see this fall.  Keep in mind they can really share the memory too, so among those 20 VM with VM similar (like Windows), they are all windows (suggests) and 30% of that share these 20 VM, so 30% 20 GB is 7 GB, so 13 GB that is actually used, so in a perfect world, ideal conditions your host should be about 15 GB used probably less active 6 GB, but EACH VM shows 2 GB of memory host, right?

  It's normal.  When one approaches the limit of host memory that these figures will change, from OS and need and that the BONE... and to complicate things even more, reservations and VM limits and priority will ALSO skew the numbers.

  Isn't fun ESX?

• Relationship between memory of comments and the host memory usage

  Hello

  I noticed today that the memory usage of my cluster rose close to 90% in all of the blades. I checked and found that a number of virtual machines is everyone using over 3 GB of memory host. When I went in the performance monitor for each of these virtual machines, they used only a maximum of 400 MB.

  How the memory usage of comments relate to the host memory usage, and how I can reduce the amount of memory used host so I do not have a performance hit through the cluster?

• Memory usage (%) vs. free memory (%)

  Hello
  
  Why is - this grid control has 2 parameters to measure the host memory usage? What is the difference?
  should I have them both? :/

  One way to do this easier would be to create an array with the elements you want on it, as the name of the virtual machine, the use of the processor etc... and then you can filter/sort by CPU utilization, memory usage etc. and only have the Top 10 or anything else you like.

• addition of CPU/memory for desktop computers in composer linked clone pool

  Hi all

  I want to add more CPU/memory for desktop computers in a pool of composer linked clone but I want to build a pool of test out changes first, while the production area is still in place. Can you screw with virtual material in the main image and then take a snapshot and build the pool of test out of it without him bring the clones in the production pool?

  I think that the process would be as follows...

  1. modify the parameters of material on the main image of Win7

  2. run the main image and let it recognize the CPU and additional memory (probably needs to restart the CPU I think)

  3. close the main image and take a snapshot

  4 create a new pool of test off the coast of this new snapshot

  Thank you!

  Yes it may seem straight, it won't cause any problems. If you want to be very careful with your prod environment, you can just clone the base image and make your tests on it.

• At startup memory usage fluctuates around 140 MB

  XP Pro Sp3 current on all hotfixes!  'Hidden' processes or services can cause my computer suddenly use about 150 MB additional memory?  As a general rule, when starting up, the memory usage is of +/-285 MB... where it remains for 3 to 5 days.  So, once again, at the start, memory is up to +/-420 MB... where he stays for another 3-5 days, before to return to the use of the bass.  In both scenarios, memory use derivatives up with 30 MB or more during the day due to memory leaks... but this isn't the issue.  And the verification task manager no extra processes are visible.  That is what it is?  I turned off "optimize idle time" for XP... and Ditto fuller analyses of 2012 NAV system.   Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Here are a few ways to share screenshots:

  You can download screenshot on your SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for files sharing) or to a third party image sharing site.

  Start with SkuDrive here:

  http://explore.live.com/SkyDrive-get-started

  Once you get your downloaded files and watch them on your SkyDrive, you need to 'share' your folders/files so that others can see them.

  Here is a link that tells you how to:
  http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-SkyDrive-change-access-permissions-FAQ

  Then click on the button "insert a link".  When you click on that, a window opens that contains the link to your SkyDrive files.

  Copy the contents of the box "copy this link to share:" in selecting the content of the link (it will be all highlighted), press Ctrl + C (copy) and then come back to the forum and in your next message, press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the link back here.

  What you paste the return will look something like this link on my SkyDrive:

  To create and send/post/print capture screen or a screenshot:

  Press the Print Scrn button to copy your entire screen to the Windows Clipboard.

  Press Alt Print Scrn to copy the active window to the Windows Clipboard.

  Open MS Paint:

  Start, programs, accessories, paint

  When the painting opens, press CTRL + V to paste the Clipboard, save the new file in paint on your desktop or somewhere that you remember.  JPG files take up less disk space than BMP files and are just as readable.

  Make screen captures as much as you want.  Practice makes perfect.  Make sure that your screenshot does not contain personal information.  Practice the visualization of your images before you send them to make sure they agree.

  If there is no such function in your forum to download files, then use a third-party free hosting site WWW image.

  Create a free account on some free photo hosting website.  You can always delete
  your account later if you wish.  Here are some free image hosting sites:

  http://www.imageshack.us/

  With your free account, download your screenshot (s) (JPG or BMP files) on the site and it is up to you to a URL (Direct link) for your new images that you can paste the link directly in the post message, e-mail, etc.

  Send this web address link live here in your answer, and we can click on the address of the link and see your screenshot.  After as many times as you need - the sites are free.

  When you are finished, what you post for others to use should look like these screenshots of my poor system:

  I think I know the answer. Visit this link

  And you can download SvcHost Viwer here.

  Run the following command from cmd: tasklist/SVC /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe".

  Focus on the PID that is causing the high CPU.

  Run SC Config = own Type for each service under this PID. It will launch each service with a separate svchost.exe.

• Linked clone failed: the operation is not supported on the object

  Hi all - I would appreciate help on a related clone operation that is a failure.

  I use Quest vWorkspace to create linked clone VM in my environment.  It integrates with virtual Center and creates from a VM snapshot parent according to normal related clones.  It has just stopped working and I am trying to track down the cause.  The task fails with the error message in the console of VMware vCenter: the operation is not supported on the object.

  The vCentre is 5.5 and esxi.  vWorkspace is v8.0 MR1.  The parent VM is located on an iSCSI datastore.  I tried to put the clones of destination on premises and warehouses of NFS data with the same result.  Unfortunately I can't (don't want really to) move the VM parent from the data store that I have of many VM related to this virtual machine.

  The failure message is a bit generic, so I looked on through the vmkernel.log and vpxa.log and it is an excerpt from the vpxa.log whereby it shows failed task 153.  Can someone please indicate something in the newspaper that had to be examined or another newspaper to look at?

  vWorkspace attached error and below:

  Linked clone has not CreateLinkedClone_Task of CloneVmLinked failed!

  Hello guys,.

  For those of you already on 5.5, I did a few tests these days. I did find a magic bullet yet as a single parameter that is sure to break but I came up with a workaround.

  I found that if my ESXi server was still on the 5.1, vWorkspace could deploy clones linked via vCenter 5.5 - it's only when the ESXi is also on 5.5 that you have a problem.

  If any of you have ESXi hosts still on 5.1, you can deploy there for now.

  In ESXi 5.x, it is easy to have an ESXi virtual machine. You might want to consider creating some virtual boxes ESXi to deploy on while the vworkspace dev team look at why it does not work.

  I know that this is not the best solution in the world, but it's better than no work around

  Thank you, Andrew.

• Problem automated creation of the pools (linked clone or full clone)

  Hi all!

  Two or three weeks ago I started to experience a very strange error in my environment. (vCenter and vSphere Horizon are version 6.x)

  At the point where I'm trying to create a pool automated , using of linked clone or a full clone, the following error is displayed as follows:

  «The selected snapshot is hardware version 7.» Only ESX 4.0 hosts or homogenous groups of hosts running ESX 4.0 can be selected. »

  
  

  I know that there is a KB ( ) 1028489) reported this error, but it is applied to view 4.X and I'm running the version 6

  
  

  I first thought it was on an old parent VMs and instant, so I created all parents of virtual machines and snapshot material the most recent help of virtual machine. But the error still there.

  
  

  Is there any type of troubleshooting for this problem?

  
  

  Ideas are very much aprecciated.

• New installation of 6.1 of the Horizon. It is normal that provisioning linked clones will take a lot of time?

  Hello

  First, I will describe my setup:

  1 Management Server: Dell PowerEdge R730 48 cores, 2.5 Ghz with 9 drive HARD 300 GB SAS 15 K (RAID 5) and 256 GB of RAM

  2 hosts VDI server: Dell PowerEdge R730 48 cores, 2.5 Ghz with 9 drive HARD 300 GB SAS 15 K (RAID 5) + 1 SSD 200 GB, 256 GB of RAM, 2 K1 grid cards

  1 unit number logic on a Dell Equallogic PS6110X (750 GB) where I put the masters.

  1 switch Dell N4032F (10 GB)

  All the server has 4 10 GB ports configured with NPAR (so, I have virtual network card of 6 x 10 GB for storage and 6 virtual network adapter for the network of the VM) and 2-port 1 GB for the management.

  My master: Windows 7 SP1 x 86 optimized with 24 GB HDD Thin-Provisionned (2 vCPU 2 GB of RAM, 3 VMXNET network Card). There is no application has added to this master.

  I can't ask the Microsoft VMXNET 3 fix because it is said that this patch is not applicable.

  I have no VSAN because that only 2 VDI hosts, so I set up my stock for each guest with local storage for the linked clones and SSD local for the replica.

  When I run the provisioning of the office pool (17 VM):

  The clone of the replica (Equallogic == > local SSD) aura 2'30 "... It's good for me (113 MB / s... the Equallogic is also used for another another LUN storage server)

  But the rest of the entire operation completes the provisioning will take 40'.

  More than 50% of carrots is around 100% of the CPU on the host.

  I tried to change my (9 disc hard + 1 spare) RAID5 to RAID10 (10 HDD). It will take 50'.

  And, when all of the operations are completed. I have 2 or 3 VM with the message: Agent unreachable and 1 or 2 crashes on the provisioning.

  One recompose your desktop one VM will take about 1'30.

  My question: it is normal that commissioning will take so much time?

  And another question: when I'm connected to a virtual desktop computer with customer Horizon during a pool commissioning, the freezing of the VM or I can't just plug. Although I Office ready. And sometimes, vCenter client will freeze to a large number of seconds during deployment

  Have someone idea?

  PS: Sorry for my approximate English ;-)

  Solution: I replaced the lsi_mr3 of storage vmware with the driver megaraid_perc9 driver.

• Best way to rebalance local drives with linked clones?

  Hello

  • 5.2 seen running, looking to update soon.
  • We use local storage (FusionIO).
  • Each pool is distributed over 4 servers running these local storage.
  • Our related clones are not persistent - users do not get a specific office, and workstations are deleted on logout.

  So, I want to patch servers.

  My thought on this is:

  1. Edit the pool to remove local storage on the server to be patched.
  2. Rebalance.
  3. Perform the update (mode maintenance, blah blah blah).

  So the rebalance operation is having limited success in my first try

  I am aware of that: VMware View 5.2 Documentation Library : you cannot balance the load of the virtual machines on a pool of resources. For example, does not allow the operation of rebalancing View Composer with linked clones that are stored in local warehouses of data.

  So I can't rebalance (first of all, I'm not sure why? In my case, cannot not machines just be deleted and recreated elsewhere - whereas a rebalancing is also a refresh anyway)?

  What is the best approach?

  • I need to make desktop computers available to local specific server storage exist anymore (once there are multiple sources available on another server storage) so that users don't connect/don't have not logged when I do the maintenance.
  • I need to make sure that desktop computers connected to local specific server storage are removed on logout (as usual) and does not get recreated on this storage again.

  Of course, when the server comes back to the top, I need to reverse the process and get the desktop on it and maintain a balance between other servers.

  Any advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Rebalancing is not a simple delete and action of re - create. Even the workstations are not persistent, there are persistent records associated with it. as (internal drive)

  These door data as approval of the membership of domain and all. Therefore, without a shared, preserving data store and the migration of this internal drive are impossible (and prevented).

  Now for you case, because she is floating desktop computers (non - persistent).

  1. Deselect the host data store to be corrected by changing the pool.
  2. Logoff of active sessions (if any) for VMS specific / put the virtual machine in maintenance mode.
  3. Delete these specific through VMs * Administrator display inventory pool *.
  4. Configure back the technical provision of data after having patched host store,
  5. And then increase the size of the pool the desired number
