Metric memory in vCOPS: active guest (KB) vs request for comments (KB)

What is the difference between the memory following in vCOPS:

Active comments (KB)

and

Request for comments (KB)

If I'm trying to see how much memory I need in an ESXi host based on the amount of memory my VMs actually use, we have to I use and why?

You would probably benefit by reading this thread:

Use vs application

For planning purposes, we try to stick with the parameters of the request, as claim #s have returned to consideration for the calculation to give you a fair indicator of 'potential' vs asks what is allowed "effectively."

  • Question about the memory consumed and active

    I have esx4.1 on three dl585 running. I have about 100 active vm running, and I have a small question.

    My vm is all 2008 r2 datacenter and I gave them 1 cpu and 4 GB of ram. When I recover a single virtual machine and look at the summary page, I see the bones of memory consumed host 4075 mb and the active guest memory 81 MB operating system. My question is can I reduce the host cunsumed memory to 2 GB without noticing a difference within the virtual machine?

    It looks like you can.   To be absolutely sure that you'd need monitor assets long enough to have a good idea of what the average is and what are the tops.

    What seems to be the case, it's that your windows is having a hard time resize its file for virtual memory.

    my suggestion is to remove "auto" at that time, and then set a custom format.

  • What metrics to use for memory capacity planning? Active or consumed (in request or use vROPS)

    Hey all,.

    I was wondering once more what metrics to use for memory capacity planning. Since the information from different sources (for example your ESXi host needs more RAM to Iwan Rahabok or VMworld 2012: Session VSP1729 - virtualized memory understanding performance management - Eric Sloof - NTPRO.NL Kit Colbert) pointing all assets (vROPS request), I expect that when we have high memory consumption / use in vCenter there will be no balloon / compression / permutation.

    Also the metric active / request should not be used for all workloads (e.g. Java / DB), why is - this? I have not found the reason of this anywhere, only the fact.

    Other sources such as Mark Achtemichuk suggests using consumed/use, which is the opposite (Understanding Active Memory - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware vSphere).

    So I thought I'll with active / demand as metric and ignoring the warnings inside of vCenter.

    But the last time we have fixed half of our group, we had consumed/high memory usage and the vCenter began to inflate, compress, and finally to Exchange. Not a lot but I had not expected that, because memory active was only a small percentage of consumed.

    Can someone explain to me why this happened and who is right on this issue.

    Kind regards

    jengl

    jengl I don't know if you asked the wrong question, or I give the wrong answer :-)

    It is always good to attach screenshots, background to the issues, and what exactly you are trying to solve.

    You wrote:

    So to summarize:

    -ESXi uses consume to decide when to start the recovery techniques of memory RAM

    -To rightsize VMs for RAM, you must use the counter inside the BONE, not active

    -If you do not want to commit too much RAM and have a lot of the balloon you should right-size your virtual machines or extend the RAM / buy additional servers

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    My answer: you are right. If you do not have access to the guest operating system, then Active VM and VM consumed are better guess. Better than nothing :-)

    Sizing sizing of VM and ESXi are 2 different things (2 use cases) different. Please don't mix up the as soon as they are confusing. Do not try to resize the virtual machine when you are sizing the ESXi, unless you have a control total on them.

    You wrote:

    The question for me is: how many cache (standby under Windows) inside the VM is really necessary for the virtual machine to get the best performance without wasting resources. Perhaps this issue can be resolved only by tests or do you know another option?

    My answer: it's a different topic brother :-) It is different, because it is within a guest operating system (Windows in this case) and is no longer at the level of the ESXi. Suggest that post you another, possibly under Windows or vSphere too :-)

  • Memory of consumed active vs

    First of all I apologize. I realize that there were many topics regarding the measures of memory. I did find something that deals with what I saw.

    I pulled a copy of memtest86 + on machine virtual system allocated 16 GB of RAM. The host has no other running virtual machines.

    The performance table shows assets but only about 6 GB consumed about 12 GB. I was under the impression that consumed memory would always be the highest metric; How is it possible to have the highest active memory?

    When memtest86 + is running, he began to write some data Pseudo-aleatoires

    ... If the data model texts is the same, these pages of comments will be

    sharing the same physical page due to the transparent page sharing.  In your

    case, 6 GB contains the same data model and can be seen in "shared".

  • Memory on the active site of push replication

    In the case of replication push active/passive configuration, should a budget more memory for the active cluster?

    962776 wrote:
    What happens if the passive site goes down? I guess that the active site will be queued messages pending. In such a case, we need more memory on the current site. Fix? Are there guidelines on the amount of memory additional budget should be in such a scenario. I guess that this number would depend on the size of the data set.

    Published by: 962776 on January 25, 2013 16:22

    Hello

    If you mean that the entire cluster consistency goes down on passive site then anyway, it's back to DB to load the data in the cache, because PushReplication will only replay the events in the ActiveSite and does not replicate data delta.

    If you mean that the failure of the connection between cluster active/passive then usually additional memory would depend on how events and data are waiting for you with passive failure of the site or depend on service LEVEL provided by the network team.

  • Activity of the horrible disk with comments off

    I hope someone can help because it becomes uncontrollable. I used to run ESXi 3.5 last year and had to move away it is for this reason. At the time it was Debian 5.0 running and a small another VM. A few times a day there is something really bad drive maybe 5-10 minutes, enough that users would be complaining and then it would go away. At the time, it was a single hard drive Western Digital. The thing is that the witness disk in ESXi activity would not show no disk activity, as if it were the host not prompted to do so.

    Fast forward to today, I'm giving ESXi another shot, this time with 4.0. This different time machine. 8 GB memory DDR2, two VM running, a total of 9 TB of usable space on a controller 5i Perc from Dell, Intel Quad Core processor. Works very well for a few days, my raid finally ended synchronization and no disk activity. So tonight I noticed that the headlights are regular, major activity. So I check the performance table, no activity of the disk for the client, or said it. But the hard drive lights, all nuts. I check the Perc card and all disks are sync'd and the host spare sits idle... all is well. Well not really, users are complaining about latency of disk again. I go ahead and stop ESXi and restart, the headlights are always crazy even if all the cards in ESXi and almost flatlined.

    To give you an idea, the only two VM that is running is Debian 5 and Windows Server 2003, but the two don't show any major activity.

    My question is this. ESXi repeats some type of garbage collection every so many hours?

    Like when ESX planning time at the prompt, please allow the number of cores as vCPU is assigned for this period of time.  In the comments, unless it is actually 100% on all CPU sees it runs idle thread [/ b] OS on carrots.  That is why the whole machine capacity is reduced, because they are not available for the actual work by the other guests at that time there.

    ESX has also a few CPU resources that is always related to base 0.  It's a box of hearts, affecting more than 2vCPU to a guest means that ESX cannot work at the same time as this comments, not to mention any other guest (work like vSwitch, disc, developing code for execution etc etc).
