Number of CPU of the license server to the servers of a socket

I searched the community but found no solution or similar results. Maybe it's so trivial...

So the question is on the (Macrovision FlexLM) license server and how this licensing system for guests.

We use vCenter Server v2.5 3 update and license server is running on the same hardware. Are all ESX v3.5 hosts and update levels varies between 2 update and update 4. In this thread (Enterprise license) David Weinstein said with an example how many CPU is consumed from the license server.

You can use 16 CPU Enterprise License 'package' in different ways:

  • 2 servers with 8 CPU sockets populated = 2 * 8 = 16 CPU of the license server

  • 4 servers with 4 CPU sockets populated = 4 * 4 = 16 CPU of the license server

  • 8 servers with 2 CPU sockets populated = 8 * 2 = 16 CPU of the license server

Or you can do any combination of fill 16 CPU:

  • 1 server with 4-socket full CPU + 1 server with 8 sockets populated CPU + 2 servers with 2 sockets populated CPU = 484 = 16 CPU of the license server

So far, everything is correct and understandable, but when you add a server socket for the things the soup becomes interesting. Servers a socket use only 1 CPU since the license server and which is correct from the point of view License Manager server.

QUESTION (S):

  1. Is an enterprise license for the ESX (up to two CPU sockets) the right to split into two servers a socket?

  2. In the opposite case and an enterprise license for ESX (up to two CPU sockets) is related to a single physical host and there is a socket server, how the license server should deliver CPU from the pool of license? CPU in a relationship?

  3. A good way to request a report where the license server shipped number of CPU's match with one, two, four or eight socket servers? Or is it all good 3rd third-party tool for that?

  • What should be the ESXi VM CPU settings on a server of type hyperthreading?

    What should be the CPU of VM VMware ESXi settings on a server of type hyperthreading?

    I have read the section of the hyper-threading http://www.VMware.com/PDF/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere4.0.PDF .  He says:

    "Contrary to have twice more processor cores, which can
    about double performance - hyper-threading can provide anywhere from slight to significant
    increase in the performance of the system while keeping the pipeline of the most busy processor.

    He goes on to say:

    "An ESX system enabled for hyper-threading must behave almost exactly like the system without it. Logic
    processors on the same core had adjacent numbers of CPU, so CPU 0 and 1 are on the first core processors
    2 and 3 are on the second carrot and so on. »

    Logic:

    For VMware ESXi on hyper-threaded servers, what logically follows in my mind is:

    1. If a virtual machine requires the power of 2 hearts, I must specify 4 CPUs in the virtual machine settings.

    2. it is never effective not to assign any number of CPUS, which is not an even multiple of 2.  Thus, the minimum number of CPUs in the virtual machine settings must be 2.

    3 Server, in regard to the number of cores necessary to support the VMs system and planning remains the same for both hyperthreading and non-Hyperthreaded servers.  However, the hyper-threaded server deployment requires double the number of CPUS in the settings of the virtual machine to keep similar to a non-Hyperthreaded server performance and exploit the benefits of hyper-threading.

    4. when I ssh in the OS and see CPU 0, 1, 2, and 3, CPU 0 and 1 are the first kernel and CPU 2 and 3 are the second core.


    Question:

    This logic is correct?

    Logic:

    For VMware ESXi on hyper-threaded servers, what logically follows in my mind is:

    1. If a virtual machine requires the power of 2 hearts, I must specify 4 CPUs in the virtual machine settings.

    No, a vCPU get his plans for the base, either directly or when Hyperthreading is enabled (which makes the guest OS don't know, but ESX) via a logical processor generated by Hyperthreading. So if you want the client to use two hearts, assign two vCPU.

    2. it is never effective not to assign any number of CPUS, which is not an even multiple of 2.  Thus, the minimum number of CPUs in the virtual machine settings must be 2.

    The minimum number should be one vCPU. There is no guest without this vCPU. In fact, you should start with one vCPU when possible and increase the number when you have a good reason or really see a performance gain. This is because ESX must wait for the number of free kernels until it can plan the work of a SMP guest. So, if the client has two of vCPU he has two free cores. First, it must wait for these hearts to become free (which slows the guest) and then it occupies two hearts (which could slow down the other guests in function of the number of available cores). If Hyperthreading is enabled, ESX may plan the work faster, but always real treatment cannot be done by a physical core. For ESX 4 there are better SMP scheduling mechanisms, but these restrictions continue to apply generally. (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1692107#1692107)

    3 Server, in regard to the number of cores necessary to support the VMs system and planning remains the same for both hyperthreading and non-Hyperthreaded servers.

    Yes.

    However, the hyper-threaded server deployment requires double the number of CPUS in the settings of the virtual machine to keep similar to a non-Hyperthreaded server performance and exploit the benefits of hyper-threading.

    Lol Hyperthreading is either neutral, that it does not adversely affect the performance of the means or increase performance slightly due to faster programming (not treatment!).

  • Different PC user name to the user license server names

    Hi all

    I encountered the problem that on some PCs running with a goal of training of RPF of generic user account, the License Manager will not grant one of my licenses in volume. How can I get LabVIEW to communicate with the license server with a different user name for the windows login name? I already tried tools--> user name, but it has not fixed the problem.

    I'm always under 8.2.1 on these computers.

    Concerning

    Oli

    Hi Oli,

    You have licenses based on the user or computer
    licenses? From your description, looks like you have several
    licenses based on users and multiple training computers where windows
    usernames are all identical. Is this correct? If that's the case then
    You should be able to grant a license in volume for this username but it
    you won't concede more than one license under the same name. Change
    LabVIEW settings will not solve this that this problem concerns more with Windows
    and VLM. To resolve this problem, you can either go in windows and create
    new usernames or you can call and we could you spent to get
    computer license and you should be good to go.

  • set-vm error because the number of CPU

    I try to change the number of CPUs and I get an error that the numbers do not say is that (the number of virtual sockets) * (number of virtual sockets) ! = total number of cores. My question is how can I change the number of virtual sockets and the number of virtual sockets and not! the total number. (as I said, if I change the total number it does not match [for example: change the number of cpu at 5, but number of virtual sockets = 2 then I get an error])

    Thank you

    The next problem is generated when you try to download a book from the public library.

    Error getting License Server Communication problem E_ADEPT_DOCUMENT_OPEN_ERROR.

    The work around works of Jean.  It would be nice if Adobe provided a real difficulty however.

    I have ADE installed 4.03.  The problem will occur as soon as that ADE is closed and reopened.    It takes so the patch every time allows you to download a book ADE.

    1. for Overdrive - select a book and click Download. -pop - up - select - Save file. - under the open with select - acsm_auto_file - download the file of social mobilization in your download directory.

    2. expand the Explorer open the file - go up to the OS (c)-

    -go to Program files (x 86) - enlarge

    -to enlarge Adobe

    -go to Adobe Digital Editions and the left click.

    -On the right part of the screen right click on Digitaleditions.exe.

    -Pop - up menu - on the left, click PROPERTIES

    -Pop up to select COMPATIBILITY

    -at the top of the menu compatibility, choose the resolution of compatibility issues run

    -Pop up to select the troubleshooting program

    -Pop up choose the program worked in earlier versions of windows, etc.

    -on the left, click NEXT

    -POP up - which version etc? Choose that I don't KNOW

    -on the left, click NEXT

    -POP - up - left click Test Program-

    -AT THE TOOL Avantek of window screen, a FLASHING ICON will appear - left-click on the icon - a pop-up will ask you if you want this program to change etc. On the left, click Yes.

    3. ADE open - make sure ADE is in library view.

    -Left click on FILE and then select Add to LIBRARY from the menu drop down.

    -POP UP - down to the right to choose the type of file of social mobilization

    -left side of the pop up to choose the directory where you downloaded the file of the CMHA.

    -Select the file of the CMHA in the right side of the window and on the left, click OPEN

    -It should work, but you have to go through the whole routine if you close ADE.

    I HOPE ADOBE will solve this problem. With each update of Windows 10 ADE seems crumbles a bit more.

    I bought a book of game Google and downloaded the CMHA on my desk. When I try and open it with my Adobe Digital Edition, I get the error message "license make mistake. "License server communication problem: E_Stream_Error.

    Response to SMcLeod8:

    Hello, I managed to solve my problem of E_STREAM_ERROR regarding the Google Play ebook. The short answer is to use ADE 4.0.3.

    When I met the problem of the E_STREAM_ERROR, it is with ADE 2.0.67532 on Windows 7 (and this had no problem handling the Kobo CMHA, OverDrive files, open a library and a sample epub BCAM from Adobe itself). This is why I would not upgrade my 2.0.67532 to the last 4.0.3. Instead, I used another Windows 7 PC and installed ADE 4.0.3. On my first try, I allowed the 4.0.3 without ID, and there was an error E-GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED. I then allowed with the Adobe-same ID * as my 2.0.67532 PC. It worked as I could get my epub from Google.

    As I don't expect a response from Adobe technical support, I guess that now Google license servers do not work with Adobe 2.0.3. I hope this will help you solve your problem - at least to get your ebook in ADE first.

    However, I would be careful replacing 4.0.3 of my 2.0.67532 I wouldn't be surprised if the latest version will not work with other suppliers of epub for social mobilization. For me the upgrade to the latest version of the software is never the best solution - it could solve a problem, but creates another.

    Note: * I understand that you can authorize up to a total of six computers with the same Adobe ID. Not sure that this policy is still standing.

    You can create a new license server (the installation file are on the CD of vCenter and VMware download site).

    Place the file lic (get it from the backup of the old server or Web portal of licenses).

    And point each ESX to the new license server.
