• Script to check the correct resource pools

  Hi guys

  Hoping someone can help with PowerCLI issue?

  I want to set up a script PowerCLI who together share CPU and memory allocated to all VMS in each Resource Pool, add them together and compare them with resource information in the list of resources and those who differ from a CSV output (including how on every property is different).

  The idea is that this script will quickly check through our vast domain for incorrectly configured in the resource pools (ie. those who have not been updated).

  Anyone able to help give advice on how I can get that data into PowerCLI from the pool of resources and the virtual computer?

  Thank you very much

  I don't know if the values you provide are correct for what is planned.

  Especially the MaxCpuUsage won't say much because this will normally reflect the total amount of CPU resources on the host (provided that the customer has no defined limits).

  The following should give a better picture (I guess)

  $dcName = 
  $report = @()
  $dc = Get-View -ViewType Datacenter -Filter @{"Name"=$dcName}
  Get-View -ViewType ResourcePool -SearchRoot $dc.MoRef | where{$_.Name -ne "Resources"} | %{
       $rp = $_
       $rpMem = 0
       $rpCpu = 0
       Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot $rp.MoRef | %{
            $rpMem += $_.Summary.QuickStats.hostMemoryUsage
            $rpCpu += $_.Summary.QuickStats.overallCpuUsage
       }
       $report += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
            Name = $rp.Name
            "VmCpuTotal (MHz)" = $rpCpu
            "VmMemTotal (MB)" = $rpMem
            RpCpu = $rp.Runtime.Cpu.UnreservedForVm
            RpMem = $rp.Runtime.Memory.UnreservedForVm / 1MB
       }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\ResPool.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  Note that this does not overcommitment account. To have the script must use the unreservedForPool rather than the UnreservedForVm property property.

• 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).

• Where information on permissions, folders, and the stored resource pools?

  Hello world

  Lets guess a virtual Center 2.5 with some ESX 3.5, resource pools, clusters of somes, folders with permissions for some users

  I would like to know where is the information about files, resource pools, permissions and other stored data. In the registry in VC in .ini files?

  The fact is that we are going to migrate to a new Virtual Center but we want to preserve the information on the Organization to avoid retyping all the data again.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello Luis_F,

  Files, Resource Pools, etc. are stored in the database to the virtual Center. Here is a link to a diagram of the U2 virtual Center 2.0.2 schema. There are of course changes in 2.5, but the diagram can help out you.

• Cannot move or copy files: the requested resource is in use.

  Hello, I encountered this error on a month or two. I was trying to challenge myself before posting and ask the question to Microsoft Answers. I tried to move and copy pictures and videos from my phone to my PC Ultimate from Windows 7 x 64. I tried to move some files from my old phone to the PC, I still meet this. I noticed that whenever I have to wait for the preview window has generated the thumbnail or preview all that then I can open or copy on my PC desktop. I also tried to copy to another directory, but I always meet the same. I don't want to waste time on this and wait for the preview comes each time to open or copy the file. Ive also tried to cancel or hide the preview pane to stop the preview generation. But I still have the same result. I therefore plead here for advice and assistance. Thank you.

  When you open windows Explorer, you will get two close right pane which is the call preview pane.

  and try it now your problem will be solved.

• Monitor the IOPS / s in a Resource Pool?

  Hello world

  I am quite new to vROM and just get your feet wet for me.  I've been delving into the book "Mastering Operations Manager vRealize" useful and which was helpful, but I'm trying to understand an important piece on:

  We have pools of different resources for different departments within our Organization, and I try to get a good graph for IOPS / s in each resource pool.  I was able to get a list of all virtual machines in a resource pool by creating a dashboard with the widget resource pool game object selector, then use "Diagnose e/s disk of the Virtual Machine list" view to see all the virtual machines within the list of resources and then for the summary allows you to SUM add them all together.  This gives me a number, but does nothing for this over time.  I'd like to be able to see that number over the next few months (even if it means just go ahead of data today onward, not historical).

  Any ideas?  I think I must be missing something, like the Resource Pool looks like it would be a good way to measure the impact of the drive.  Folder of the Virtual Machine might work also, but is not as clean as I would like.

  Hello world

  Right after I got this resolved so I thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is curious.  It has to do with the SuperMetrics.

  The formula I created is as follows:

  SUM (${adapterkind = VMWARE, resourcekind = VirtualMachine, attribute is virtualDisk | commandsAveraged_average, depth = 1})

  It takes the sum of all virtual machines to a level under the resource pool.  I also used average and Max values, because this helps to show trends and you have aberrant VMs eating a ton of IOPS / s.

  I received lots of help from Iwan Rahabok virtual red point.  Specifically, this thread here: http://virtual-red-dot.info/any-vm-abusing-your-iaas-by-doing-excessive-workload/

• vCenter security - limiting the devs to a Resource Pool

  I want to set up a role limiting a team of developers to the resource pool.  I would like that they are able to create virtual machines and modify, download files to data warehouses, and all the devs thing is usually necessary to do, but keep them in a sandbox is limited to a pool of resources.  I don't want them to be able to play with virtual machines in other pools of resources, or have admin access stuff in vCenter data centre.

  Is it possible, or should I create a second data center and use it for developers?

  I'm fairly new to vCentre, so feel free to correct all incorrect concepts in my mind

  Hello

  Yes it is possible. I do it myself.

  The key is to make a record that matches your resource pools that the permissions on the resource pools don't always translate permissions on the virtual machines. Since you talk about virtual machines and resource pools you need of several buildings.

  The first is to limit what resource pools, they can even see, that by placing a role and permission on the specific resource pool.

  The second is to limit what VMs, they can even see/affect, that placing a role and permissions on the specific folder that mimics the resource pool.

  In addition, you want to apply the network and other permissions, restricting what vswitches what they see when they create a VM, etc..

  Everything is possible but complex quite quickly.

• 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.

• VMOTION between Resource Pools

  Can I make a virtual machine VMOTION, for example VM1 remaining to Host1 in the RP1 resource pool to another host Host2 in the RP2 resource pool?

  I just thought that you can use vMotion and I said nothing about HA or DRS

  As far as I KNOW, DRS and HA should be placed in the same cluster host.

  DRS needs VCA or vMotion (Intel or AMD) compatible hosts in the same cluster.

  HA same cluster hosts needs , BUT because it will reboot the virtual machine, you can have different CPU Arch in your cluster.

  What you need to do and what's the plan, if describe you a little more, maybe the answers, help more.

• Is there a default resource pool?

  All - I read the white paper on esxtop that was written by Scott Drummond and can be found here - & gt; http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-9279 In this one, page 9, under the definition of 'State', he said:

  While the state memory of the host is not used to determine if the memory should be retrieved from virtual machines (which
  decision is made at the level of the resource pool), it may affect what mechanisms are used to retrieve the memory if necessary.
  In the States high and soft, ballooning is favored over permutation. In States hard and low, swapping is favored by report
  balloon flight

  So my question is, what happens if I do not defined resource pools?  Is there a default pool?  If not, are there any rehabilitation of the memory available for my guests/guests?

  "Every independent host and each DRS cluster has a pool of resources of root (invisible) which brings together the resources of the host or a cluster. The resource pool root does not appear because the resources of the host (or cluster) and the root resource pool are always the same. "- extract from http://pubs.vmware.com/vi35u2/resmgmt/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=resmgmt&file=vc_resource_pools.5.2.html

• Reservation of CPU Resource Pool

  Hello everyone

  I need feedback on pools of resources, and in particular for the CPU share uses.

  I read the "Mastering Vmware vSphere 5.5" and I understand how Vmware works for the share of the CPU.

  I have the a customer who want to buy me a resource pools for this virtual machine management. He will buy vCPU 26 and 64 GB of RAM.

  I know how to set up the RAM, but I did not how to do for the CPU.

  I started by 26 multiples by the clock of the CPU, but the value is higher or lower than 1 ESXi. So I think I made a mistack.

  Can someone help me to understand how do for the CPU resource pool.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Best regards

  Matt

  Hi Matt,

  Personally, I put a limit of 2 GHz by heart. CPU host have 3.0 GHz. On this way a big vm as you can 'kill' the host and other virtual machines on it.

  When you use the same limit, you will need to set the limit at 52000 MHz (26 x 2000 MHz Cores).

  Kind regards

• Sort by creation date Resource Pools

  Hi all

  First of all, all the PS newbie here...

  I'm trying to figure out a little PS code to extract that information from our vCenter server.

  If I use:

  Get-ResourcePool | Sort-Object ID - descending

  I got the list based on the prime number, so, for example:

  RP01 ResourcePool-resgroup-99

  Healrp02 ResourcePool-resgroup-881

  Healrp02 is mentioned after 01, even if it was created at a later date, all simply because the first number (9) is greater than 8.

  Is there a way to list by the real resource pools, multiplication, so I can have at the end of the list based on the creation date?

  Thank you

  Luca.

  Although I don't know that he'll give the resourcepools sorted by date of creation, you can sort on numbers in the id resourcepool with:

  Get-ResourcePool | Sort-Object-descending - property {[int] $_.} {Id.Split("-")-[1]} | Select-Object - Property Name, Id

• use of resource pools

  Hello

  I understand very well how the notion of 'actions '?

  What could someone explain this term compared to other resource pools in the same cluster and with a stand-alone resource pool?

  Or is it all very clear explaining that doc?

  THX

  Actions determine how a resource gets broken when there is a conflict for this resource - lets start at the level of the base of a virtual computer, since the actions for a VM and the Resource Pool work the same way - if you have three Pools of VM/resources each with 1000 equal parts - that the total mass of stocks will be 3000 and each VM/Resource Pool will get 1000-3000 or 1/3 of the total resources available, when there is a conflict - lets say the VM/resource pool has 3000 parts - so now the total mass is 5 000 shares for these VM/resource Betclic so the list of VM resources with 3000 shares 3/5 of the resources and the other 2 VM/resource pools will have 1/5 of the resource when there is a conflict-No if you had a single VM/resources shares pool would not come into play from the pool full-fledged consists this single element.

  numbers used 1000 and 3000 were chosen at random to demonstrate the sharing feature

• Use / dedicated resource pool for resources upgrade/calendar

  Hi all
  I use the dedicated resource pool (each worker has its own calendar, crafts and scheduled vacation) same calendar is also used by any project I'm doing for the annex. We have 9 hours working day Monday-Thursday while Friday, we work for 8 hours as replacement Friday is turned off (annex 9/80). However, I have the resources allocated to the tasks, but when I check my sheet to use resources that some of my resources are also working on the days that are disabled (for example on Fridays) and also the resources work only 8 hours a day while the calendar is set for 9 a.m. schedule.
  I use these schedule and all the parameters of the previous planner that I replace which unfortunately could not transfer the knowledge for a beginner like me. I think I do a good job my employer is concerned that it is not so unhappy, but I know that I have room for improvement.
  If I could figure this thing out, I'll have my use of time by the pool of resources that I have and that's what I want to see.
  I could use the upgrade provided by the primavera, but it cannot take effect as I want, so fixing the problem that I mentioned above can help me more have leveled and responsible program.
  My next step after solving this problem is going to be track cost using primavera (currently we do on spreadsheets).
  Looking forward to hear from you all experienced pros.
  Thank you.
  Rahul deep

  Hello. go to the tab of the default for the selected project project detail. set the default calendar for new activities to the desired calendar (for example the global calendar you want as well your activities and resources to use).
  You can consider using dependent on resources like the default activity type for new activities (which will plan duration of activity according to the resource calendar (s) when planning)
  hope this helps,

  Welcome to the community.

  Vcenter Server GUI, you can only plan this operation on the specific virtual machines, not for a whole resource pool.

  The best solution is to use any custom CLI... for example:
