Physical and virtual - how to make a like comparison?

Hello

A user uses a Windows 2008 64 bit VM with 4 virtual processors and 4 GB of RAM to run some software testing stress.  The software will be finally deployed on a physical Windows 2008 64 bit server with 2 Quad Core processors @ 2.00 GHz with 4 GB of RAM.

The performance of the physical machine is fairly easy to measure, but how to tell the user how much it makes on the VM total processing power?

I understand there are a variety of factors, such as the load on the cluster, the host specifications, etc. etc.  Howerver I would like to be able to give the user an approximate idea of how the VM is compared to its physical counterpart of processing power.

Ideally, I would like to prove or disprove that the virtual or the machine more/less/more or less equal to the processing power the machine physics.

I guess that there must be a variety of ways to do it, but I don't know where to start.  Any ideas?

Thank you.

Take a look at VMmark - http://www.vmware.com/products/vmmark/ for this type of test.

Most of the companies I worked wih begin in general with "low hanging fruits" physical machines that have little to low load and as they reach a level of comfort with the VMware environment and begin to look at the most critical applications - these companies now are virtualization of exchange servers, SQL servers and other critical high - load the key is gaining acceptance and architecture then the right solution.

  • How to know the difference between RDM physical and virtual

    Hello!

    How can I see if a RDM (RAW device) is physical or virtual?

    I can see it in the vmx file or easily elsewhere?

    I have a few servers running both VMFS and RDM disks inside the virtual machine, and when you use ESX Ranger and make an instant backup, they are ignored to be backed up.

    Grateful for a response

    When you change the settings of the virtual machine and choose the RDM - there will be a radio button selected for the RDM mode, it is - it is really obvious. She'll be selected for the physical or virtual.

  • Possible to have the physical and virtual units of ESA in the same group?

    Given the scarcity of available information about virtual appliances, anyone have any ideas if it is possible to run a physical C160 and a C300V running the same version of ASyncOS in the same cluster.  I need to migrate from physical to virtual and has been evalualting the possbilty of the migration to the C300V from the C160 by adding a C300V to a cluster and then decommissioning the C160.

    Someone know about this?

    Thank you

    Nathan-

    Yes.  You can, as long as the appliance and virtual appliance running the same AsyncOS.  The "clusterconfig" command will work in the same exact way.  You need to just make sure that your C300V has the featurekeys loaded in order to run the cluster.

  • How to make a LIKE on a long data type

    I need to search through all the triggers those that contain the string MYSTRING in their own bodies.
    Unlike the table USER_SOURCE procedures and packages where it is possible to run a

    Select distinct name from user_source where upper (text) like '% % MYSTRING ";

    How can I make the same trigger where the body of trigger is a LONG type? I can't run a upper (trigger_body) like '% % MYSTRING "; on USER_TRIGGERS, so how can I do?

    Thank you!

    I have done a few times and generally what I do is create a temporary table by using CREATE TABLE AS... SELECT, and then in the source table. I'll convert the LONG column a CLOB column in the process that you can do your search string on it. Once I'm done, I drop my table.

    I hope this helps!

  • Snort - configuration of the switch - sniffing physical and virtual

    Hello

    There was a bit of discussion on this topic already and I read all those, but I'm still lost as to whether I want to do is possible and how.   I need to have capability of IDS in my vmware environment and physical environment switching.

    1. that being said, I don't know where to put snort.

    2. I know that I can paste snort on a virtual machine and give it an interface to each vswitch that promiscuity has been traffic on these vswitches, but which is the best way to do it?

    3. how to get traffic physics switching down to a virtual machine?  Is it still possible?

    I'm on 3.5 and using Foundry switches if it matters.

    The other idea I have is to not worry about this and paste my ID in the physical environment, since all traffic inter - VLAN should through the firewall anyway that is on the physical environment of switching.  This protect me from knowing of vm - & gt; VM attacks however.

    What is everyone think about this?

    Hello

    It's the kind where I was at.  The other problem I have is that I need to activate on the whole portgroup or vswitch promiscous.

    Only on the portgroup never the vSwitch.

    This means that any host in this portgroup can promiscoulsy listen on a map network within this portgroup, right?

    That's right, but now you must periodically check the portgroup to ensure that none of the United Nations that allowed VM is on the portgroup.

    > As a dashboard that is able to read in several analyzers to snort all the recommendations?

    There are a few web based ones. I would check snort.org... I used 'base', but is no longer directly use SNORT. It is integrated into my FWs now.

    I tried to google the answer and know how to make a disc of windows 7 operating system.  We are starting to see some problems with windows and I want a real physical disk in case we have a hard disk crash.  the problem is google and the hp support page says to click a shortcut in windows to start the process, but this shortcut does not exist. I have HP LaunchBox manager and HP Setup Manager.  What to do to make the drive o/s?

    I'm sorry, but your information is wrong.  The correct way to be able to burn the discs is:

    go to start

    find HP help and Support

    Click on the one here is the HP configuration manager

    run this program

    Click set up backup

    in the new window, you have 2 options

    Now click on

  • VLAN and physical and vSwitch Configuration

    I am trying to set up a laboratory at the House and recently bought a new physical switch with the goal of creating a number of VLANS to segment the different networks with router controlling access to each network.

    The router is configured with 4 networks of each on a separate interface:

    • 10 - home network network
    • 172 - network management
    • 192 - laboratory network
    • Internet

    These are in turn connected to a single physical switch. I wish that my switch to have 3 VLAN to match each network. Guests on these VIRTUAL LANs can be physical or virtual. A network adapter on the server vSphere will be bound to a vSwitch and connected to the VLAN respective on the physical switch to enable connectivity for virtual hosts.

    Can someone explain to me what to leave a VLAN tagging perspective in order to get this to work and now the separation between networks?

    I tried a combination of marking on the physical and virtual switch and impossible to get full connectivity to the physical and virtual hosts. For now, I have three VLAN (default value (1) where is my network 10), 172 and 192.

    I can ping the physical hosts on 172 and 192 VLAN but I can't ping any invited virtual.

    I can ping hosts physical and virtual a virtual guest on any other network.

    The router has not at all of any configuration of VLAN.

    Thank you

    Adam

    Hi Adam,.

    I can give you an explanation of how I could do this using cisco equipment.

    You say you have 4 NICs from your host and would have networks vlan, so a very simple way to do this would be to create the VLAN on the switch. Define each of the physical network cards on the switch to be an access port to the vlan correct. Personally, I'd be trunk all interfaces, but access is easier to explain...

    If an example (cisco config)

    Interface 1 on switch access to vlan 10 - Conf t, IM 1 interface, switch mode access port vlan, switchport Access 10

    interface 2 on the access of the switch to vlan 172 - Conf t interface IG 2, switch to access port, switchport access vlan 172

    etc.

    When you create your vswitches, select the correct uplink, create a network of the vm by vswitch, you would not need to specify a vlan.

    If you wanted connectivity between virtual LANs to happen in the switch, assuming you have a l3 switch, you can give the VLAN IP addresses to the correct subnet, use it as the gateway for customers and enable ip Routing.

    Access to Internet; How I have this setup in my lab, it is that I have a trunk between the switch and the router, allowing the VLANS on my networks that require the traffic internet, my router has sub interfaces defined on the network for each virtual local area network interface. These submarines have an IP address in the correct VLAN (all clients use this as the gateway). Internet link is connected outside the router and which deals with the nats and routing between VLAN etc.

    Another way to do would be to have an extra virtual LAN on the switch to which connect your router, give them two ip addresses, use the switch to route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 for the IP address of the router. You would need to implement Nat for each network, and no doubt some allow lists but its possible.

    Not as easy to explain as I thought when starts this...
