• Counting of the virtual machines in a resource pool

  Hello

  I just want to know is how VM in resource pools.

  I tried to use this single line, but when I get the results, some are white.

  What follows is the only line that I used

  Get-resourcepool-location VMW-HACL01-BC9 | Where-Object - FilterScript {($_.)} Name - not "resources") - and ($_.) (Nom-ne "DUMMY-RP1")} | Select Name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Sort-Object Name. Export-Csv-Path "C:\results\vmcount.csv" - NoTypeInformation

  1 VMW-HACL01-BC9 is the name of the cluster.

  2. I wanted to exclude the names of 'Resources' and "DUMMY-RP1" resource pool

  Here are the results I get

• Shares of disk setting on the virtual machine in a Resource Pool

  Hello

  * Very * new to PowerShell so forgive me if this is trivial...

  Hi Bjarke,

  If your resource pool is called 'test', then you can set the level to the lowest of all the VM in this drive actions pool resource with:

• Summary of the Resource Pool tab

  It is what I read from the book of ICM5:-

  Orders (not shown) component allows you to perform actions such as creating a virtual machine, creating a pool of resources and changing the parameters of a pool of resources.
  I did not understand this line. Can someone help me explain this threshold.

  In the vSphere Client, select a resource pool in the left pane. Now, select the Summary tab for the pool of resource selected in the right pane. There is a component of commands (or box) visible in the bottom left of this tab with the following options: Edit virtual machine settings, new Pool of resources.

• '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]
  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/22/the-resource-pool-priority-pie-paradox/

  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 I get the virtual machines on each resourcepool in the list above, I'd be unable to distinguish if Tier1 is from the branch of a branch of Department2\Prod or Department1\Dev.

  How can I get that information, that is to say, the 'level 1' resourcepool (ResourcePool-resgroup-296) is in which parent resource group.

  Thank you

  There are 2 things to consider before attack us the script.

  (1) resource pools can be created in 2 different locations, under a Cluster and a standalone host

  (2) in the vSphere environment, there are some hidden files. One of them is the pool of resources of the parent 'resources '.

  You can find this file under each group and each stand-alone host.

  The script uses a function called Get-RpPath, which makes it much easier to recursively down the structure of resource pool

  The script now prints the hidden folder "Resources" as the beginning but this can be replaced by the name of the cluster or standalone host just above.

  The script begins with the collection of all of the 'Resources' folders that are hidden in your vSphere environment and recursively then descends from the quest of sub-resourcepools.

  $indent = 4
  
  function Get-RpPath{
       param($rp, $level)
  
       Write-Host ($rp.Name).PadLeft($level + $rp.Name.Length, "-")
       foreach($child in $rp.ChildConfiguration){
            $nrp = Get-View -Id $child.Entity
            if($nrp.GetType().Name -eq "ResourcePool"){
                 Get-RpPath $nrp ($level + $indent)
            }
       }
  }
  
  $clusters = Get-Cluster
  $hosts = Get-VMHost | where {-not ($_.ParentId -like "Cluster*")}
  
  $RProot = $clusters | % {
       Get-Inventory -NoRecursion -Location $_ | where {$_.gettype().Name -eq "ResourcePoolImpl"}
  }
  $RProot += ($hosts | % {
       Get-Inventory -NoRecursion -Location $_ | where {$_.gettype().Name -eq "ResourcePoolImpl"}
  })
  
  $RProot | Get-View | % {
       Get-RpPath $_ 0
  }
  

• pass fails with a missing resource pool alert

  Hi, I have a server dell power edge r510, with ESXi 5.0 is installed in it.

  in one of the virtual machines within this server, I installed Vcenter (I think that it is Version 5.1) everything was stable until the vcenter database gets 10 GB and crashed and I couldn't fix it. So I installed a new windows with vcenter 5.5 inside vps. and for this new vcenter reconnected to the server. so, I've reconfigured resource pools and VPS users again in this new vcenter.

  Watch ESXi host now as does not not to the vcenter. but all virtual machines inside the esxi server work without problems.  I can't reconnect to the host in vcenter, and I can't connect directly to the ESXi via vsphere client and root password.

  but I can log on to the esxi via ssh or console.

  from the console, I restarted the management services, but it does not help.

  the SSH, I ran the following commands:

  status /etc/init.d/vpxa #.

  vpxa is running

  status /etc/init.d/hostd #.

  pass is not running.

  When I restart pass, it is said has started, but after a few minutes still pass fails.

  l # /etc/init.d/hostd restart

  Watchdog - pass: PID of the file/var/run/vmware/watchdog-hostd. PID does not exist

  I searched the problem on localhost, Ko, said check the CPU usage is below 90%, which is good in my esxtop, then says check network ports and pings, they were right, too, said to check/etc/hosts to 127.0.0.1 localhost entry and checking /etc/resolv.conf and they were right too. as I can ping localhost and localhost nslookup returns 127.0.0.1

  then I started reading the server logs and found this error output of vm-support: hostd.log

  How can I change the list of resources of the VM to ssh when esxcli do not work?

  I am facing this problem recently, almost all the 5 days the server will respond is not in vcenter, restart the entire esxi server can solve the problem but it apears again.

  I think that resource in vcenter pools doesn't sync properly with the configuration of esxi, as when I connect to the server directly with root/vshpere it shows different configuration than what I see in vcenter!

  and I can't upgrade esxi host because there are about 10 VPSes important and stable running on this server which is my main server and I can not have time on this server or migrate virtual machines to a different server/IPs.

  because I'm not sure of the compatibility of the versions of drivers/bios nic with ESXi 5.5 and I fear that if I update the ESXi from 5.0 to 5.5 I face other questions strangers/downtime.

  I had the server up and running again, by editing this file: /etc/vmware/hostd/pools.xml

  then I found the VPS with id of the pool of resources 11 evil, changed for another pool of resources as the other virtual machines.

  and then made a

  restart the /etc/init.d/hostd

  all started working again without restarting the whole esxi server and turn off virtual machines, I have searched for about 1 day to solve this simple thing!

  even once when I made a few changes in the vcenter, and then restarted resource pool settings move it in ssh, it fails under vcenter changed the VM resource for a bad configuration pool.

  so I changed the resource pool manually xml and restarted spend, while vcenter can connect to the esxi host.

  then vcenter, again removed all the resource pools and created new resource pools. and this question of time is set.

  There was some resource pool configuration that was imported from esxi host to vcenter which was no longer available and has not been deleted in syncronizations between esxi and vcenter when changed resource pools. and the list of the missing resources caused problems.

• VCD went 1.5 after resource pools DRS toggle

  Hello

  We have just reconfigured the Cluster, where we organize our vDC and the vOrgs (a test environment for the moment).

  I disabled the DRS and enabled him, which caused all the resource pools should be deleted.

  This prevents the vCD to create new virtual machines for the vOrgs, so, basically, we cannot work with vCD, not more.

  Is it possible to restore the resource pools or to the vCD to start a recreation of them?

  I don't want to reconfigure alle vOrgs, committees, networks, etc.

  You will need to re-create the resource pools in VC, restore virtual machines to resource pools. Then you need to go in the VCD database and manually remap the VCD inventory for new resource pools. Is not something that everyone should try themselves. You should file a SR support and application of GSS to do.

• VM / resource pool Configuration

  Now that I've answered my own question, and the little light in my head is enabled, I have a better understanding of the relationship between the virtual machines and Resource Pools.  But a follow-up question that I hope that experts can answer that for me is this: after I have create a pool of resources and define the limits of the resources, what I have to change anything on the virtual machines?  In other words, if the virtual machines are configured for unlimited CPU and memory, they are limited by the amount of correct pool?  What would be the reasoning to restrict the VMs and the memory, if I can control it by a pool of resources?  At least for me and please correct me if I'm wrong, if I put limits on virtual machines why I would put in resource pools?

  limits/actions/reservations for the virtual machines are now applied to resources being provided by the resource pool - for example - if you have 10 GB limit set for the pool of resources out of 64 GB of the bunch, it's-if you have a limited memory set to unlimited for the virtual machine in this resource pool the maximum amount of memory for the virtual machine will never be able to get 10 GB is However if the resource pool memory limit has the unlimited value of the virtual machine will be able to go to 64 GB

• The list of all the Resource Pools that are part of a group of ESXi

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a piece of code work that will list all the resource pools that are present in a cluster of ESXi.

  • I know I can find what list of resources of a virtual machine resides in.  I don't want that.

  // Find a matching resource pool on an ESXi hosts
    var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
    var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
  
  
    System.log("what is the ESXi cluster: " + esxiCluster.name);
    System.log("vimtype: " + esxiCluster.vimType);
    System.log("what pools exists: " + esxiClusterResourcePools);
  

  So I know that the vimType will come back with what I expect (ClusterComputeResource).  The question I have is the object "resourcePool" is reference to the root resource list (in my case, it is 'resources').

  What I want is all DRS resource pools are configured.  I need something like "resourcePool_ResourcePool.children".

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  B

  Hello

  Check if this code example that works in your case:

  var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
  var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
  var pools = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.resourcePool").getAllChildResourcePool(esxiClusterResourcePools);
  
  // dump names of child pools
  for each (var pool in pools) {
    System.log(pool.name);
  }
  

• Root user cannot create VMS within the Resource Pool after you rename the Cluster

  Currently, vCenter manages two clusters. I renamed a single cluster and the root user seems now are not allowed to create a new Virtual Machine in resource pools to the title of the group with the changed name. I tried to change the name of the cluster to its original name... no luck.

  The root user can still create a VM under the individual cluster nodes, but not in a resource pool.

  The cluster that has not been renamed yet can be managed completely with the root user. Resource pools it allow me to create a virtual machine.

  I found this last issue and checked on each cluster node that the ACEDataRoleId is-1 for each section: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031192

  I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  I think it's a bug. When I created a new data center and migrate all nodes in cluster about him, the permissions problem I was experiencing did not follow.

  Thank you for your help.

• How to calculate the cpu in the resource pool

  How to calculate the cpu in the resource pool

  and don't forget that shares in pools of resources are not inherited by the virtual machines in the pools. the action is related to the pool itself.

• Good candidates for the resource pools?

  Hi, I do not currently use resource pools, but often the impression that I should watch more in him.  We have our four node 5.1 cluster 16 web servers (among others in the virtual computer) that are exactly the same and serve the same function.  I was wondering if those who would be good candidates to be added to a pool of resources, so they can take resources needed?  I tend to approve statically the RAM and CPU on these "just in case", but maybe it's stupid, if there is a better way.  Thank you.

  Also consider that if you have no compelling reason to prioritize resources for all virtual machines on one of the virtual computer, then you really don't have a reason to use the resource to all pools.  In this case, each virtual computer will be given some memory he needs on demand, DRS will balance the load between the hosts if a host is out of balance, and there will be fairness when ESXi pray return of VMs pages when there is a conflict.

• Keep the host resource pools after leaving a cluster

  I thought is was impossible to keep existing or cluster transplant pools of resources on the host which prefabricated a cluster.

  However, vSphere resources management Guide of reading I found an interesting note:

  Make sure that you remove the cluster host by placing first in maintenance mode. If you
  instead disconnect the host before you delete the cluster, the host keeps the pool resource that
  reflects the hierarchy of the cluster.
  

  It looked like something, so I tried it but no luck, the host had no pool after removed offline.

  Now I'm confused of what this phrase actually means.

  What do you see when you connect with vSphere client directly?

  Usually, I see ONLY the list of the running virtual machine resources... not all resource pool.

  Without virtual machines so I think that all the resource pools are removed.

  Try to disconnect with some VM running (also false VMs).
