Monitoring selected VM, ESX, cluster hosts

Hello

I check if it is possible to select the specified ESX host or Virtual Machines to monitor instead of pulling all the VMS and hosts in Foglight? Thank you.

Kind regards

Jamie.

You can via a user name, but we do not support that.  The problem lies in the case you have a virtual machine, and then you forget about the potential problems with the host.  If you have only a few hosts, it could miss part of a cluster or something else using the storage...  There are many cases where not having not any data could cause problems, so we don't support all a vCenter.

  • Get the name of the VM Cluster, host name, CPU and carrots

    Hello

    All of the following code gives the expected results, except for the last line. I can't make it work. What I am doing wrong?

    Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}},

    @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}},

    @{N = "NumCPU"; E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_______ |} Select NumCPU}},

    @{N = "Kernels"; E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_______ |} Get - View). Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores}}

    Thank you!

    There was a missing (in front of your last Get-VMHost. Want to be as fair as the attribute NumCPU, not an object that contains an attribute NumCPU so I changed line 3 a little

    Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}},

    @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}},

    @{N = "NumCPU"; E = {(Get-VMHost-VM $_).} NumCPU}},

    @{N = "Kernels"; E = {(Get-VMHost-VM $_ |)} Get - View). Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores}}

    If you use this for a large number of virtual machines, you can watch by optimizing a bit. Rather call 'Get-VMHost' several times you can restructure a bit then called this is only once

    Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}},

    @{N = "ESX host"; E = {$Script: VMH = (Get-VMHost - VM $_); $Script: VMH.} Name}},

    @{N = "NumCPU"; E = {$Script: VMH.} NumCPU}},

    @{N = "Kernels"; E = {$Script: VMH.} ExtensionData.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores}}

    The 2nd piece of code is a little more than 2 x faster than the first since Get-VMHost is not be called multiple times

    Another quick thing, if you are looking for the number of processors (i.e. how much taken) then replace $Script: VMH. NumCPU with $Script: VMH. ExtensionData.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages; the host object NumCPU attribute is actually the number of cores that can be a bit misleading

    is there another way to activate the CEV on my existing cluster and does not create a new?

    You can try to create a new cluster and select CVS it and move all your hosts to this cluster

    should I turn off my vm all?

    You will need to put the hosts in maintenance mode. So what you can do is put the host 1 in maintenance mode, virtual machines will move to host 2. Now move the new active EVC cluster host 1 and continue to do this until all of your hosts are in the cluster. You can try vMotion your VM 2 host to host 1 which is now in the new cluster, but it all depends on what your processor will hide VCA is activated... And if you cannot vMotion, virtual machine in a VCA not to an active evc cluster cluster, then Yes, you will have to turn off and restart your virtual machines in the new cluster

    I also have SRM ad site.do I need to activate the CEV on the cluster, I have here (a different Vcenter)

    No u don't.

  • Retiring legacy 4.1 ESX cluster


    Hi all

    We currently have two clusters managed by a single server vCenter.  It is the most recent cluster 5.1 ESXi and the other is the legacy ESX 4.1 cluster.  We have already migrated all of our virtual servers to the new cluster 5.1 ESXi.  The ESX 4.1 cluster legacy has no more any virtual server in it.  Existing ESX 4.1 cluster hosts will not be reused.  Data exported to the existing cluster warehouses also won't be necessary and in storage arrays are deleted.

    I would like to know what are the appropriate steps to remove the ESX 4.1 cluster legacy?

    Thank you

    In any case, if the unit number logic/data store used by the hosts to version 4.x are not accessible from the hosts to 5.x, you can simply delete the host to vCenter and the data store will be deleted too without impact to the hosts to 5.x.

  • "Mem.Usage.Average" against the total aggregate of cluster host memory

    Please see the attachment for the whole story.

    Please give me a sanity check on this. I used the "Mem.Usage.Average" as a % against allocated VM MemoryMB. The sum of these calculations escaped by far the actual calculations of the vCenter % memory-based. So, I changed my calculations that you see in the worksheet to use the 'Mem.Usage.Average' against the total aggregate available on all hosts in the cluster. This amount came to less than 1% of my calculations based on vCenter GUI. Am I right against the total aggregate memory cluster host instead of against VM memory assigned using 'Mem.Usage.Average '? Thxs-

    ExcelOutput.jpg

    SDK is not clear on "total configured memory available or". https://www.VMware.com/support/developer/converter-SDK/conv55_apireference/memory_counters.html Part description of memory used as a percentage of the total configured or available memory.


    $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-5)

    Get-cluster-location ActualClusterName | Get - VM | Where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} @{N = "Mem.Usage.Average"; E = {[Math]: round ((($_ |))} Get-Stat - Stat mem.usage.average - start $start - $finish - IntervalMins 1800 - MaxSamples finishing (250) | Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2)}}"


    Cluster is 6 hosts with 128G per host for total of 768G (786432 MB of RAM), there are 118 powered on virtual machines


    vCGUI.jpg

    for me the SDK says that percentage reflects the relationship between the memory 'active' in the virtual machine against the memory configured for the virtual machine.

    A configured with 8 GB of memory virtual computer that has 'use' of 25% is actively using 2 GB of memory.

    I think that your numbers you get for VMS are biased because of the great period of time during which you take the average (see previous answer).

    You can cross-check the mem.usage.average with the mem.active.average.

    In the following code, I calculate the different 2 meters actual memory used by the virtual machine.

    $clusterName = "mycluster.

    $stat = 'mem.usage.average ','mem.active.average '.

    $vm = get - Cluster - name $clusterName | Get - VM | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

    $stats = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1

    $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} @entity.name} | %{

    [PSCustomObject] @ {}

    VM = $_. Group [0]. @entity.name

    MemoryMB = $_. Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB

    MemUsagePerc = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty value

    MemUsageMB = [int]($_.) Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB * ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"}). Value) / 100

    MemActiveMB = ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.active.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty Value) / 1 KB

    }

    }

    The result shows a specific virtual machine, these two numbers are close enough to be considered the same imho.

    That they should be in fact, the mem.usage.average is derived from the mem.active.average.

  • Storage shared between cluster hosts

    Hello

    I have a number of hosts managed under a VC server clusters. I want to downgrade the ESX 3.5 cluster and spend all my virtual machines to my vSphere cluster. I intend to move the storage currently used by ESX 3.5 clusters as well.

    Is this OK (or supported) or even possible for me to do the following?

    1. attach the storage used by the cluster cluster vSphere ESX 3.5 (so it is folded in TWO clusters).

    2. the servers from ESX3.5 to vSphere vMotion cluster cluster.

    3. turn off the cluster of ESX 3.5.

    I guess it boils down to two questions.

    1. can you be shared between host cluster storage two?

    2. If you can, is it possible to vMotion between cluster hosts, assuming that all the vMotion compatibility checks are successful?

    If the above is not possible, I'm guessing that a V2V of VMS ESX 3.5 would be the way to go, and I have to find new storage for the cluster of vSphere.

    Thank you

    G

    Hello

    If you have a SAN vSphere-taking in charge, so there is no problem.

    According to the CRA on your 3.5/vSphere ESX CPU hosts, you might have problems with storage vmotion/vmotion. One way would be to enable CVS, however requiring all virtual machines to be powered off.

    But present the LUN 3.5 4.x guests and make a svmotion is not a problem if you have taken care of storage. (www.vmware.com/go/hcl).

    Then you can just vmotion (if you do not have CPU incompatibility) virtual machines to new hosts, or stop and move.

    What is ESXi system managed (for example with a non-free full license) by your vCenter?  If this isn't the case, then you can not make a gesture like this.  You can probably fake it with enough script and help of some external tools to make disk copy.

  • LAN-Free backup of snapshots VMDK of ESX Cluster

    My intention is to perform a backup outside shots VMDK of ESX Cluster to VCB Proxy Server LAN.

    I have a scenario where I have 3 ESX servers with 3 x 800 GB LUNS in a storage group separate on a CX 310 SAN box. The Ids., (HLUs) host these 3 LUN LUN are 0, 1, and 2. All these three LUNS is a VMFS volume each on the ESX Cluster and all three LUNS are visible to all the ESX servers.

    I have a physical host that boot from SAN (the same box of CX 310 SAN) and this host will be designated as the VCB Proxy Server.

    Now, I'm going to add a 1 TB LUN to the storage group as the LUN 4 ESX servers and the Id., (HLU) host LUNS for this one will be 3. This logic unit number will be added as the 4th volume of the cluster ESX VMFS. It will also show all three ESX servers in the Cluster.

    I'll create a Windows VM 'VM2K3' on ESX Server 1, and I intend to add the volume (1 TB) entire VMFS 4th as "D:\". "drive"VM2K3 ". I'll share this disc "D:\". "and it will be mapped as drive"T:\ ". "on the VCB Proxy Server. This disk 'T:\ '. "will be the target for the storage of the VMDK to snapshot backups, in a compressed format. I use VizionCore vRanger software connection to this effect on the server VCB Proxy itself.

    Question 1.

    This scenario will provide the backup off LAN of VMDK instant?

    Question 2.

    In the case of a failure full 1 ESX Server, VMotion will be or a manual movement of the virtual from Windows "VM2K3" machine would affect the LAN-Freee of instant VMDK backup? If so, how will this affect and what will be the impact?

    Question 3.

    The "C:\". "Logic of the VCB Proxy unit number will be a 30 GB SATA LUN and the total size of the RAM on the VCB Proxy Server is 8 GB. The ability to drive "C:\". "30 GB will be sufficient to make faster given the fact that I have about 45 VMs at this point in time?

    Any help or suggestion or two in this case would be very useful.

    Hello

    A physical machine cannot directly access a VMDK in a VMFS. There may directly access LUN, that LUN could then accessible by a VM with RDM or virtual RDM mode. But why would you do it is really beyond me.

    The VCB Proxy running W2K3 and you present all your VMFS volumes (make sure that you don't have a letter assignment drive automatically enabled when you make this presentation). See http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35/vi3_35_25_vm_backup.pdf for assistance with this.

    VCB proxy then read this VMFS and copy data from it to your T:\ drive (MON).

    Remember that no two hosts can access the same logical unit number unless you use a clustered file system.

    I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  • How to migrate VRM to another ESX/cluster server

    We have our VRM and VR servers running with vReplication in an ESX cluster.  The network manager has decided to split the ESX server and create a new cluster for our servers, leaving the old cluster and ESX server environment from the view.  I was able to migrate the VR server without any problem, but receive a warning when you try to move the VRM.  How is it best to do it without having to stop the replication and recreate all (that has been no joy for us)?
