• Installation BAR inside the Android virtual machine files.

  Hello everyone!

  Can someone explain to me the following problem:

  I have an Android app that can install any other Android Apps (think like that as a personal App Store for Android). Now, I want to convert to BlackBerry. What I have done.

  Now what I want to know, is how my application (BAR the file running inside the Android virtual machine) to install other files BAR? Y at - it any option (API?) that can escape from VM Android for QNX for I might be able to install a BAR?

  Thank you!

• Restructuring of the pagefile to the guest virtual machines

  Is there a directive to rigtsize the pagefile for guest virtual machines (Windows)?

  With the hosted versions of VMware (Workstation and Server), I used to create a swap file whose size was RAM * 2 and place it on a different disk from the system disk / boot: can it be good for VMware ESXi as weel?

  Is there a better solution?

• Use of memory in the guest virtual machines

  Hello

  I don't have any background on VMware technology, but we are using a facility of dynamic cloud based on vCloud Director to the company where I work.

  The group that operates the server publishes the offer with a 'pay per use model"of service.

  This is true for the CPU resources, as we pay only what we use in the month. But in my opinion, it does not for the use of the RAM.

  We have Linux VMs that allocate a 4 GB of RAM 'physical' and our monthly bills show that the RAM usage is at 100% for all the month. But when you look at the tools of memory for the virtual machine, you can see that most of the time 50% or even less is used by the guest operating system process.

  This means from a user perspective the RAM price per month should be half of what we are responsible now. Ask operators on the 'question', we always get the answer that the use of the RAM is not dynamic and we need to pay for the use of 100% from the point of view of the server host.

  Could someone share some light on this subject? Is there really no way to make use of the dynamic RAM as the CPU usage?

  Thank you

  Evening,

  As a service provider, I'll let you in on the secret:

  It depends on

  vCloud takes care of three models of default allocation.  Your provide may use other

  -Pay for what you use. -pay as you use

  -Allowance - you get resources, but can burst more

  -Booking - you get allocated resources and is

  Chargeback depends on model (in out of the box chargeback... your provider might have something custom)

  Pay as you use - charged on the basis of the resources used

  Allowance - remuneration based on allocation and additional for burst

  Allocate pay based on booking-

  There in the last two models really no way to load except full allowance (i.e. 100% cpu and RAM)

  Statement, I think you have something along the lines of the compensation you are using you mixed with a price system vendor.

  From my experience the resource more used in ESXi clusters in the RAM.  That's really what I buy in clusters of resource... I always need more RAM.  I need no more CPU. In addition, distribution of the CPU to vcloud is made via Ghz is not CPU.   RAM is allocated by GB.   So those set up and I think you suppliers is betting that they will always have to RAM so they charge based on usage not allocation.  While CPU, they have tons while they charge by usage.

  Really, it's just my thoughts... What can charge you on:

  -Ghz processor

  -GB of RAM

  -GB of storage

  How can recharge you:

  -Used

  -Allocated

  So bottom line... they can charge by opportunity they choose not too...

  It will be useful,

• Hyper-V inside the VMWare virtual machine

  We are eager to try NxTop VDI virtual computer (www.virtualcomputer.com). The center of NxTop management software requires Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit with HyperV. We don't have an additional physical host to install Server 2 k 8 with HyperV just for this test. Has anyone already installed server 2 k 8 WITH HyperV inside a VMWare VM before? I tried and windows installs fine but when I go on installing HyperV it says that it cannot install HyperV because the processor is not in the current VT. I know it's an intel VT cpu and I made sure it was enabled in the BIOS. Any ideas?

  Even if your physical processor supports VT, virtual CPU virtual machine does not work. VT is not spent to virtual machines.

• Is always required OS to create a guest virtual machine?

  I create windows applications using development tools (such as Visual Studio, etc...)  hosted on a Windows 2008 Server.  I work directly with the console of the server.

  What I have to install another OS for this or can I use the host operating system?

  A virtual machine is a machine separated, so VIRTUAL machine, so if you intend to allow that VM to run, you must install an OS (this is called a GUEST operating system).  If you want to install the programs on the host computer, you need not the virtual computer

• Restarting the management agents on ESXi 4.1 / risk to restart the guest virtual machines?

  Unfortunately, we must restart management on our HP ML350 G6 agents almost once a week (unable to connect with VSphere client more, customers are works well).

  We know this Article -: restart on an ESX or ESXi Server management agents

  and this article useful: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_restart_agents.php

  How can we avoid the ESXi 4.1 command /sbin/services.sh restart will restart our execution of virtual machines (guests) as well?

  (Our first test shows: it restarts the guests, but it is sure, or just happy coincidence?)

  According to the second article linked:

  ... This will restart the agents installed in /etc/init.d/ and with a default installation that includes: pass, ntpd, sfcbd, sfcbd-watchdog, slpd and wsmand. He is aalso restarting the agent VMware HA (AAM) if that has been activated on the host...

  Each of the agents of this is responsible for our virtual computer operation invited?

  Do we ensure "auto start/stop" to each virtual machine too (as written in "Attention" on the first linked article)?

  I think it was on ESX 3.5 U3 corected. In any case, this happened only if you autostart enabled for VMS - the ability of ESX Server to boot VMs when it starts itself. If you do not need, leave it disabled.

  Each of the agents of this is responsible for our virtual computer operation invited?

  Not at all. Virtual machines running in a very low level of the VMkernel. Even if you lose the COS (which is your main problem here - you should check it...) the VMs will still work.

• Distribution of the RAID in a guest virtual machine in Windows Server

  Hello

  Before I try this 'new', is it a performance advantage, or any particular configuration that would make any advantage of net return for a vm of comments Windows Server running on VM Workstation if I add a bunch of virtual drives and raid stripe them together via the Guest Windows Disk Manager. I would do that on a single disk physical host so I would venture to guess that the stress of the e/s on a disc single physical host can be a bottleneck in any scenario like that. I wonder if the VM Workstation has a way to compensate for the stress of IO because it presents me with a very impressive interface SCSI virtual (the one that allows a large number of virtual SCSI disks) and multiple SCSI channels. I have to admit that I already tried this scenario in a RAID Configuration 5 with eight (0-7) virtual disks on SCSI Channel 1 (a separate channel from the customer 'boot' virtual disk on SCSI channel 0 virtual machine.) In fact, it worked but was extremely slow. I hope that it is only because RAID 5 is a very demanding configuration on disk IO anyway so it is demanding a lot of physical i/o to the single disc physical host accordingly. However, I also hope that maybe a simpler configuration as striping RAID 1 could make a net profit of performance. The reason that I'm in any medium Green is because I observer that a guest running Windows 7 computer gets better scores to Performance Aero it's Windows 7 host (but that's another debate). Someone at - it here never geeked with scenarios of striping raid like that on VM Workstation 7.x configuration?

  Go ahead, say it. You know I'm a total geek

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  If you do this on a single drive host I would expect horrible performance - just the opposite of what you want to acchieve.

  As Wil mentioned already... only several axes you can get best performance from disk

• Virtual machines can ping throughout the network, but can't ping in them.

  More in detail, we run ESXi 5.1 on our host servers. We then run a client vSphere on one of our client machines that can reach the host by a Cisco 3750 switch servers. So it is, machine client, Cisco switch, then the host servers. The server host has 2 network cards going to the switch. NIC0 goes to a trunk port, and NIC1 goes to an access port. In vSphere, we have created a virtual switch that has two physical network interface cards activated. For our management network, the VMKernel port, VLAN ID All we (4095), then we have NIC0 as the active map. Then we have a "Server" network, the Virtual Machine port group, with VLAN ID 30 (our vlan internal) with NIC1 as the active map. Once we have this, we can ping from our virtual servers to our default gateway, then anywhere else in the network, but nothing can ping the virtual machines. We tried to watch a traceroute to the VM, but all it shows is, VM NIC, default gateway, and then destination... Ask for more information if you need.

  Thank you

  Tim.

  Hi and welcome to communities,

  What guest operating system are your current virtual machines to run? If it is windows server, it is a chance network discovery is simply disabled. This will diminish the ICMP packets and you may not their ping.

  If the port of 3750 for NIC1 is configured as VLAN ID 30 trunk.

  Your Portgroup is configured with VLAN ID 30.

  Inside the guest virtual machines you did not indicate any configuration of VLAN, right?

• CPU usage by a process in a virtual machine

  Hi people.

  Here's the scenario.  We have an application which seems to be misbehaving.  The developer is asking some sort of metric on the CPU of this app.

  I understand that by looking at the 'Task Manager' within a windows VM is not a reliable way to quantify the use of the CPU of the system, and I would normally use the vSphere client to obtain these data.  Is there a reliable way to get the actual CPU use of individual processes in a Windows 2003 VM?

  Thank you.

  I use ProcExp and performance monitor.  The question remains: can I trust that the values it provides is accurate?

  Don't forget not ' invited ' CPU monitor tools are not accurate because the virtual machine is CPU demand.

  Thoughts?

  Thanks again.

  Well, I see where you're going, but you are off the mark of that guest virtual machine inside still works on the fact that these are cycles 'real' CPU, and they are... not demand Co... It is only from the HOST, they are programmed as a slice of time.

  Also, when you monitor in the same operating system as tools, are tracking in the same perspective, so even if the processors are not yet affected for 4 seconds (say) the operating system * AND * monitoring of these cycles are frozen at EXACTLY the same time, then Yes, these measures are indeed accurate.

  If you watched from a 3rd party such as Veeam (because he can see the CPU is using the virtual host machine), then probably not as accurate... I can see that.

• Sharing the drive between several virtual machines

  Hi all

  We have a configuration with a SAN (Dell Compellent) and use vSphere 6 to host a number of Windows servers. We now have a giant machine of Windows with a large number of small files for a particular application.

  Now, we would like to create a cluster with a LoadBalancer in front of him, so that we can handle more load. To do this, we want to create a disk that is shared between 2 (or more) of windows machines.

  One of the problems is that NTFS is not a supported clustered file system. So, I did a lot of research on Google to see what my options are. In my opinion, they are the following:

  1. set up a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) Microsoft (use SMB if I read the documentation)

  2. the user Windows shares on a separate file server

  3. the user NFS (depreacted under Windows)

  4. switch to Linux and use NFS

  The problem I have, is that they use all the network traffic. For example, option 2 is ridiculous slow. NFS under Linux is also a way slower than the local drive (managed by VMWare iSCSI) disk access and NFS on windows does not appear to be

  support very well.

  I know that there are aware filesystems, clustered as VMFS etc. Is there a way to access it directly from my Windows VM or are there devices SAN which is directly accessible from the virtual Windows machine?

  Or maybe there are other solutions to set up a shared drive?

  I know that there are aware filesystems, clustered as VMFS etc. Is there a way to access it directly from my Windows VM or are there devices SAN which is directly accessible from the virtual Windows machine?

  VMFS is a really clustered file system and allow access of multiple virtual machine the same amount of storage (data store) which is different from that to create a virtual disk (hard) and present to multiple virtual machines. You can do this, BUT the guest virtual machine should take care of several accesses to the hard, for Windows, you must turn on the feature... without this clustering with failover data may be corrupted.

  I think the best and supported solution for you is to create another cluster with Failover Cluster functionality and create a resource sharing files with files that will access your NLB nodes.

• Network problem in the virtual machines on the same switch

  Hello

  I'm stuck on a problem with my small network.  I have an ESXi 5 host that hosts around 10 virtual machines.  The last two machines I install recently displayed an unexpected behavior.  I can't do a ping between the two machines or in those 2 VMS to anywhere else in the same subnet or other networks.  These two VMS, I am able to ping and have network connectivity.  Two of these virtual machines reside on the same vSwitch and belong to the same group of port as other machines.

  The configuration of these two VMs appears to be identical to all other virtual machines that work properly.  The two guest virtual machines running Windows Server 2008 R2.

  So far, I tried several static IP and DHCP assignments with the same effect.  (Including spend another virtual machine a static IP at work known to one of the computers virtual problem)  I tried to delete and re-create one of the virtual machines completely.  I also did an upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 for vCenter, ESXi host and virtual machines, and I am always observing the same behavior.

  Any advice on what to check next would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  I assumed that you have checked the windows firewall? Because they block default ping...

• movement of virtual machines on new server

  I'm fairly new to vmware and operate a very limited plant, but would like assistance.  I have the Essentials package and ESX 4.0 is running on a single server with the virtual machines stored on local hard disks.  I installed a new server ESXi 5.1 and local storage, and I need to move the virtual machines from the old server to the new server.  If it's important, the guest virtual machine operating system are a mixture of linux and windows.  What is the best method to move those VMs?

  Hello

  If you have the two host added to vCenter, you can turn off VMs and migrate virtual machines to another host and data store.

  Since you do not have a shared storage, you must turn off VM to change host and the data store.

  It doesn't matter what OS you are running on a virtual machine.

• Hot add option missing from all virtual machines.

  I'm under esx4.0, with all kinds of guest virtual machines (2003, 2008, 2008r2, std, ent, x 64). I don't have the option add hot for one of these clients.  It is simply absent on options & gt; Advanced tab.  What am I misssing here?

  It will show only if it is an option for the operating system for some versions it won't be there.  Also, what version of material are your virtual machines?  Must be version 7 I think.
