• vSphere 5. Casings of vCPU and cores per CPU (PowerCLI) bug

  Hello!

  I have a test on vSphere Lab 5 (with all the latest updates installed) and I try to make virtual machines using PowerCLI (version 5.0.1). The virtual machine is powered OFF.

  1. I created using this string VM:

  New-VM - name Test_VM - ResourcePool resources Datastore - LUN1 - DiskMB 512 - MemoryMB 512 NumCpu - 4 - disk - CD - NetworkName VL348 - Confirm: $false

  There is no way to set the number of CPU sockets or cores when creating the virtual machine by using the latest PowerCLI. The only way to create the virtual machine with more than one CPU or core is to use the parameter - NumCpu (total number of cores!).

  2. I connected to the vSphere Client and checked the newly created configuration of the CPU of the virtual machine. And the customer shows me an error:

  

  

  

  The cpuid.corespersocket parameter does not exist.

  In the virtual machine's .vmx file, there is no such parameter.

  Numvcpus = '4' only exists in the .vmx file.

  In addition, it is not possible to change the settings of casings and carrots using the Client. The same mistake as in the first screen appears.

  2 wells. Then I tried to run this:

  $spec = New - Object - Type VMware.Vim.VirtualMAchineConfigSpec - property @{'NumCoresPerSocket' = 2}

  (Get-VM-name Test_VM). ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

  And checked the configruration:

  

  

  This added commands the same parameter in the .vmx file.

  numvcpus = "4".

  cpuid.coresPerSocket = '2 '.

  3. then I tried to make changes to my VM (I want to do 4 rear single-core CPU) and run this:

  $spec = New - Object - Type VMware.Vim.VirtualMAchineConfigSpec - property @{'NumCoresPerSocket' = 1}

  (Get-VM-name Test_VM). ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

  And now I have the same error as in the first screen.

  In the .vmx file:

  numvcpus = "4".

  cpuid.coresPerSocket = '1 '.

  4. then I tried to use the command Set - VM change NumCpu 4... Nothing has changed. String cpuid.coresPerSocket = "1" still present in the file.

  5 then I tried to make my VM with 1 Quad-Core processor. Success!

  6. then, I tried to modify the 2x2Core and return to Quad-Core 1. Success!

  7 then - back to 4 Single-Core. IN CASE OF FAILURE!

  What I've done wrong?

  What operating system you defined for this virtual machine?

  Not all OS supports vCPU 4 or more. This first error in the vSphere Client seems to point in this direction.

• PowerCLI - get the number of cores per processor and number of Sockets

  Greetings,

  We are responsible to give a list of all our virtual machines with their host name, the number of CPUs, the BONES and the number of cores per processor for verification.

  I immediately said that this would not be a problem with PowerCLI. However I seem to have more trouble with it than expected.

  Get the number of CPUS is not a problem, but the time wherever I want to divide the number of cores and the number of sockets, it seems to hit a dead end.

  I found the following entries of the community concerned:

  Re: vSphere 5. Casings of vCPU and cores per CPU (PowerCLI) bug

  Machine virtual access avancΘs | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

  Parameters to retrieve and set Advanced Configuration (VMX) VM

  But neither seemed to give me the right input. The advanced configuration settings do not appear to contain the number of cores/sockets and Get-View and Get - VM normal controls do not seem to differentiate between carrots and the power outlets and just give the number of processors.

  Because we need these settings for a check I doubt I'm the first to need this information. Does anyone have an idea how to get this information?

  Please note that it is the number of cores and casings of a VM, not an ESXi host.

  Thanks in advance,

  Bram

• VSphere number of virtual machines per CPU

  I've seen estimates of virtual machines per CPU and I understand that it depends on a combination of things. I think 4-5 virtual machines per CPU is up around. We run HP Proliant DL380 G5s (2 quad core) and it seems like that 4-5 per CPU core will be our number. Memory being the main factor limiting.

  I am now watching the servers (2 quad core) Proliant DL380 G6 and recital 72 GB of memory. Before I size like that, I want to know if the 8-10 mV by heart is conceivable. Even if I think that my current hardware could choke if I tried, I thought that perhaps most recent families of processor as the Proliant G6 Nehalem with VSphere improvements with regard to the planning of the CPU that could be a possibility.

  Also, I assumed variess speed processor directly with the virtual machine by core equip. As CPU speed increses # or virtual machines by increases in Basic. Is this correct?

  You're right it depends on many things, but for the general basic rules 4 - 6 virtual machines by heart for ESX 3.x and you can run no risk 6 to 8 virtual machines to vSphere, if you know that your virtual machines are use of the lamp, then pushing to 6-10VMs might do, but you should perhaps follow the activities and decrease if resources are hammering.  vSphere certainly has better CPU planning services and get the best performance from predecessor.  I test it on a test environment and the maximum stress and see how it runs.  What types of workloads and servers do you think?

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

  Kind regards

• VMware Essentials Plus question of vRam 2 guests

  I have 2 guests with every 192 GB of RAM and 2 CPU.

  If I understand this VMware Essentials Plus the following limitations:

  Max of 3 guests

  Max of 192 GB vRAM

  Max of 2 CPU per host

  The 192 GB can be used in any way I want? For example...

  -Can I run VM 6 with a total of 72 GB RAM on host A and run 10 VM with a total of 120 GB of RAM on host B? (192 GB total)

  -Can I feed 8 VM with a total of 96 GB of RAM on host A and run 8 VM with a total of 96 GB of RAM on host B? (192 GB total)

  - Or in the case of hardware failure, I can run all VM 16 s with a total of 192 GB of RAM on a single host?

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  Yes, the vRAM is "in common", so as long as you do not exceed right you are ok.

  ... also, make sure you have your ESX hosts in a cluster to use the right "pool."

• My core duo CPU is always maxed out! Why? I ran scans and they come back clean...

  Hello!  My core duo CPU seems to work continuously maxed out.  This is a recent development and I thought can I have incurred a virus or malware but I ran Viper, Microsoft Essentials, and they come to own.  It always seems to me that something is causing my cpu run continually maxing out and it has severely slowed down my computer performance.  When I check nothing irregular seems to be the Task Manager.  Any suggestion? Thank you!

  If you go to the Task Manager, have you checked under process? You can click on the CPU column header to sort from the top down. This should help you to begin to identify which takes up your box.

  I hope this helps.

• Reallocation of license VMware Essentials

  Hello

  We have a VMware Essentials pack.  I have added a former host with a single processor to the vsphere recently to migrate a virtual machine to the new production host.

  Now, I have completed this migration I want to delete this former host.

  I can't assign the license hypervisor to the host when it is still connected in the vsphere as it fails to apply because the host has the vsphere active agent.

  
  

  I can remove it from the inventory of vsphere two using the legacy client and web client vsphere.

  However the license key is not returned to the pool of available on the server.

  I can confirm that I've now assigned a single hypervisor enabled to the host once it has been disconnected.

  and after reading other peoples comments I left this during more than a week some people suggest that the update of license can take half an hour or more.

  I have now closed the old host but still wish to recover the CPU license this host seems to have again.

  In vsphere licenses if I look at the tab hosts that it lists only the remaining guests and former host, I'm trying delete isn't there.

  However, in the license keys tab most license still the CPU usage shows an extra CPU.

  We use the device server vsphere version 5.5.0 build 2646482

  How can I get the vsphere to count is no longer the old host in the use of the licenses?

  This is unusual. What you try - unless already done--is to restart the vCenter Server Appliance (perhaps restart the Web Console service - Port 5480 - is enough) to see if this fixes the use of licenses!

• Core i5 CPU detected as 2 hearts, why

  It's the CPU

  Intel (r) Core i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40 GHz

  I use Windows 7 for the installation of environmental and final deployment will be the i7 or i9 server. Why is not able to cover all VMware processors? or does it support any. Maybe I understand this wrong in how VMWare is supposed to work. I've only used the GSX (version 1), before long.

  I did an installation of VMWare 2 on Xeon Quad Core at the office and I don't remember how many carrots he detected. In production, I would it cover all central units and take full advantage of them. Share please if someone knows how do VMware works properly on Intel I series processors

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This CPU is not supported by vmware server 2. So your question is normal.

  You can see page 24 of the vmware server user guide:

  http://www.VMware.com/support/pubs/server_pubs.html

  and you will see that your cpu is not in the list of supported CPUs.

  I recommend you to use a product of vmware with a better cpu as workstation 7.1, vmplayer 3.1 support or maybe esxi hypervisor.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

  Maximum memory is 4 GB with windows 64-bit (2x2gb) for n500.

• VMware Essentials to include Update manager

  Hello, will be setting up a small Site DR.  Going to use Veeam replication to have VM Replicate on him.

  Just try to understand what VMware licenses for.  I think im going to go with VMware Essentials as we will only need two physical hosts to start, maybe in a few years, we could add another physical host.

  It should not be necessary for HA/DRS as it is just a recovery site

  What im wondering, this is the Kit Essentials come with Update Manager?  Not the Essentials Plus version, just essential.

  I can't seem to find on the product page of the site if its included or not.
  It does not say that it comes with VCenter Server Essentials.  Im hoping Update Manager is included?

  I realize im not going to have HA and Vmotion.  But we should keep the patches for security reasons.  Because DR site will be somewhere else, it would be easier to use Vcenter Update manager to update the hosts.  Given that it is a site of DR than the VM'w will be turned off, so I don't think that there should be problems

  Thank you

  Manager update comes with vCenter Server, regardless of the edition.

• Limited to 8 cores per VM 5.5 ESXi?

  Im running the free version of ESXi 5.5 and appear to be limited to 8 cores per VM.

  Y at - it a license to push this limit to 16 or 32 cores? Im running on a HP DL980 with 128 cores and don't want to create 16 different VM to allocate all 128 cores.

  If there is a license, how much it costs?

  You are running the latest version of ESXi 5.5?  If you run Update 2, you will be able to upgrade to version 10 (power off the virtual machine, right-click and the possibility to upgrade virtual hardware will be there.)

• Cannot assign VMWare Essentials-PLUS license, says "vSphere FT" in use.

  I am desperately trying to activate VMWare Essentials plus, but when I try to asssign the key to these two hosts ESXi 5.0.0 get:

  License may not be assigned, features in use: vSphere FT

  The other key "In VSphere VMWare Server" just assigned very well.

  That amounts to two questions:

  How remove vSphete FT, even when disabling HA completely it always says "are in use."

  I was informed by a representative of VMWare "Fault Tolerance" is included in Essentials, but the reality seems to be different. So either I have a technical problem or we have been deceived.

  Any information to clarify what is happening is appreciated.

  Check the configuration of your network on the host, especially the VMKernel ports and make sure that you have not accidentally activate the checkbox "logging Fault Tolerance.

• HOWTO retrieve info of socket/core per VM

  How can I get it back by VM

  number of virtual sockets

  Number of cores per socket

  total number of cores

  as the properties of the Virtual Machine

  Hello Fredlock,

  Get - vm testgk | Select name,@{N='Number of nuclei; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.NumCPU}}, @{N = "Cores per socket"; {E = {$_.extensiondata.config.hardware.NumCoresPerSocket}}, @{N = 'Number of Sockets'; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.NumCPU/$_.extensiondata.config.hardware.NumCoresPerSocket}}

  output

  Name number of hearts Corees by socket number of Sockets
  ----                            ---------------                   ----------------                            -----------------
  testgk                             8                                4                                            2

  This will generate the output for virtual machine called "testgk".

  If you want to do this for all the virtual machines in the CR:

  Get - vm | Select name,@{N='Number of nuclei; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.NumCPU}}, @{N = "Cores per socket"; {E = {$_.extensiondata.config.hardware.NumCoresPerSocket}}, @{N = 'Number of Sockets'; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.NumCPU/$_.extensiondata.config.hardware.NumCoresPerSocket}}

  Kind regards
