Maximum number of virtual machines running?

• Maximum number of virtual machines by free ESXi hypervisor?

  Community of VMware,

  I just installed the free 5.5 ESXi hypervisor and I wonder if the same virtual machine limits apply to the stand-alone scenario as vCenter? Can I run actually 512 VMs? What, if any, is the maximum number of virtual machines, I can run on a free version of ESXi?

  From 5.5 ESXi limits most have been removed, but only a limit of 8 vCPU per VM remains. So if I'm wrong, the VM 512 mentioned for each host (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r55/vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf) affect the free hypervisor.

• What is the Maximum number of virtual machines that you can have in a HA cluster in VC 2.5 Update 2?

  as in the subject...

  AFAIK VMs per host maximum is 40 in the case of cluster HA with 9 or more guests. Yes 40 * 32 is 1280 VMs for cluster HA 32 hosts.

• Report on the number of virtual machines by datastore

  Hello

  I use vFoglight 6.6.2. I try to have a report generated every week that contains the number of virtual machines running in the data store. But I don't know how to create a table of edge/report for these details.

  request for expert assistance.

  The following query gives you so all virtual machines on the specified data store

  Using the following mandatory input parameters:

  {VMWDatastore}: type foglight - 5:VMWDatastore

  Select objects of type Machine virtual VMware in parameter {VMWDatastore}

  root of {VMWDatastore} / virtualCenter/virtualMachineCollection/virtualMachines

  where:

  ({VMWDatastore} to /datastores and)

  (/ vmState/current/value is equal to "receiving")

  Like query UI setup will allow you to use it as a dashboard of entry.

  Try around with the request and let me know if this help.

• Number of virtual machines per server

  This number varies greatly with the type of workload and of (among other variables) network connectivity, but what would you say is a common number of virtual machines running on a particular server (NIC10 G ) platform? 10? 20? 40? The number of sockets/cores on this server?

  Any contribution is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Ex,.

  This issue of $ 1 million has been requested several times before.  The answer is simple - there is no definitive answer.  There are so many variables that contribute to the number of virtual machines, you can run on a server:

  -number of Sockets
  -Core per socket

  -CPU speed

  -Density memory

  -Bandwidth allocated by host

  -Storage connectivity & bandwidth

  -Attributes VM & function of workload (amount of memory, CPU & disk by virtual machine)

  Although you can probably squeeze a lot more virtual machines per server with densities increased memory & CPU power, also increases your default domain name.  HA may be able to 'recover' virtual machines on a failed host, but how virtual machines are you willing to lose only once?  When sizing of your hosts, also the failover capabilities take into account.  Each of your cluster hosts should be able to tolerate the failure of at LEAST one host and meet all the requirements of memory & processor of the additional virtual machines now spread over the remaining hosts in the cluster.  This is why administrators does not often grow over 60% of the capacity of their hosts.  VMware uses a calculation of size "slot" to ensure you have adequate to your cluster failover capacity.

  As typical, I see regularly around the mark of 20 VM per server on a typical 2-socket server with 96 GB of memory and dual 10 G uplinks.  It is also good to think that most software licenses (VMware, Nexus 1000v etc.) is based on the counts of socket, and since the memory is going to be your first argument point - servers that can support large amounts of memory are usually an ideal choice.  B250 is perfectly placed to virtual workloads like this, while the B230 is a little firecracker with a bit more CPU power under its hood so you need.

  As vague as I was, I hope this starts your thought process

  Kind regards

• How to count the number of virtual machines on an ESXi server via command line

  I want to know the number of virtual machines running on ESXi. What is the command so that it...?

  "vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms"

  This order list of the early running of the ESXi Server virtual machine, but I want the number (integer)

  Help, please...

  Thank you

  M@RK! V

  Hello

  You can use the PowerCLI command to get a VM number:

  SE connect-VIServer-Server "ESXi host or vCenter server.

  (Get-VM-location 'ESXi host') .count

• Maximum number of virtual disk for a virtual machine in vSphere 4.1

  I read the maximum record rate and see that the maximum number of virtual disk is 16 for FT.

  I have the same document I seem not to be able to see the number max of virtual disk that can be taken in charge for a virtual machine.

  The number will be the same as the number of LUNS per host which is 256?  I know the max is for the host, but that be will come the number of Director to the total number of virtual disk that can be supported in the virtual machine?

  In fact, in a logic unit number, we can have more than one data store that can be mapped to a virtual disk.

  I'm confused.

  Thank you and have a nice week,

  Anthony.

  If I am not mistaken, you can attach up to 60 virtual disks to a virtual machine. 15 for each of the 4 virtual SCSI controllers.

• Extend a datastore in vCenter with virtual machines running

  We have expanded our Volume and unit number logic on our NetApp SATA VMStore from 2 TB to 4 TB, we now want to expand in vCenter, I'm ok to do this within office hours, while VMS are running on the data store?

  Going via configuration - storage - etc etc...

  It should be good. Off-peak hours are preferable, because you must make playback etc.

  This will not affect the virtual machine running inside.

  Unless there is a particular requirement, why not go with 2 TB Lun? I mean add another 2 TB logical unit number rather than add a measure?

• While trying to see Planner installation and operation, the test in local mode, the EXECUTION fails with message "Waiting for the number of virtual machines to register.

• Number of Virtual Machines in a host

  Dear all,

  I am fairly new with vmware.  As a newbe, I have a lot of request for information on the virtual machine.  As a first step, I have a basic question:

  How we calculate the number of virtual machines that can be installed safely on a host computer.

  For example,.

  The host is with below configuration

  HP DL380 G7, E5645, (6core, 2.4 GHz, 12 MB L3, 80W)

  Dual processor

  48 GB of memory

  8 x 300 GB hard drive

  STD config

  For example, in the configuration above, how WIN2008R2, 8 GB servers can be loaded.

  Is it as 48 / 8 = 6 Machines?

  If so, what is the involvement of CPU cores?

  Your descriptive answer is much appreciated...

  Thanks in advance...

  Welcome to the community,

  This depends on the VM workload. With the material you mention I guess the limiting factor will be the RAM and not the CPU. What is important for this host is have you FBWC attached to the RAID controller to make it work in writeback mode!

  A note more: you will need a licensed version to run ESXi 5.x on this host. The free hypervisor does support up to 32 GB of physical memory.

• VMware View 4.5 - number of virtual machines deployment through Virtual Center

  Hello

  After an update to VMware View 4.5 Solution, thanks to an automatic pool sliding the virtual Center creates now six machines at the same time.

  Before this update the VC never fired on two machines at the same time...

  It of Nice to have this indictment, but is it possible for me to configure the number of virtual machines created on same time?

  Thanks for your help

  Kind regards

  If you go into servers and change the login information from vCenter there is an Advanced tab.  Click this tab and you can set the maximum amount of concurrent provisioning operations you want.

• Impossible to reconnect to a virtual machine running

  Hello

  I removed decadent a virtual machine running in the inventory.

  The machine virtual is critical and cannot be stopped.

  When I try to browse the data store the option "add to the inventory" is grayed out.

  How can I reconnect it to the inventory?

  Thank you

  Boaz

  Alternatively, you can try to reboot the virtual machine in vCenter:

  1 vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms

  2 vim - cmd vmsvc/reload xx
  (xx is the VMID provided by the first command)

• Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.

  Hi all,

  After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?

  Thank you.

  Marco.

  OK let me explain.

  As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.

  1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.

  2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Hope this is clear. Let me know if not
