Pleasae offers below the configuration of VMware

Hi friends

We have 4 ESX servers (model HP DL380 G6, RAM - 128 GB, CPU-8, each sevrver, ESX version: Vsphere), 98 VM servers (most of the servers is production servers).

We have created a cluster with failover HA level 2 and DRS - fully automated.

Not the CVS option turned on.

Recently, we are facing problem like some VM servers restart, sometimes very slow.

Please suggest, *What are the steps that we need to check and y at - it something must change settings HA and DRS? *.

Hi Murali99,

98 virtual machines on a 4-node cluster is a high ratio of consolidation. But you have powerful physical machines, it should be OK (depending on the load of the VM...). You must check the load of each host and check the balance of cluster to check if the DRS is OK.

What is the root cause of the VM restarts? It's a kind of HA event or a problem with the storage...? Take a look at the newspapers and check your shared storage space.

Trying to figure out if the problem is only on a single host, if it is memory, processor or storage...

Good luck

Franck

  • How to refine the configuration of Vmware server on windows host

    Hello

    can someone explain how to refine the Vmware host windows server edition?

    Hello

    First, you decide what you want to use the VMWARE server.

    If you want to use vmware server for only to keep the plane comments at end of test system administartion, during the installation of VMware server you will need to customize your installation.

    In the Customize installation disable the Modules Perl script which are used for development purposes, after installing the server, go to services & disable services unwanted, assume that you use no DHCP & NAT, then disable these services. In doing so, it will save the memory & performance increase of you host mechine.

    When you create your mechine comments try to reduce unwanted devices, how to remove the floppy drive if you don't want to use in the mechine comments. like this, try to reduce the additional devices you use rarely, if you're runnin server edition comments mechines, then try to reduce you is display resolution, which will give a good performance.

  • Several areas in the Horizon of VMware View AD

    Hi guys, I want to test creating Pools with 2 Active Directory domains. I have set up my environment as follows:


    Domain A


    1. connecting to the server

    Server 2-composer

    3-Security Server

    4 - vCenter Server


    Domain B

    1. connecting to the server

    2. created a separate account to View Composer

    For now seen Horizon 5.3.2 is fully functional on the field. But I need your help deployment pool using domain B. After you have configured the connection Server (joined to Domain B), I tried to add domain B by using view composer account by logging in to view Admin(Domain A) > Edit vCenter Server > change display composer settings > check server information (under Domain) but I'm 'Bad domain name.


    You guys please help or send me a link of approval one way of installation which is required for VMware View, so that I can deploy Pool using domain B.


    Without creating confidence, I added redirector conditional field B on the field which allow me to add domain B without "Bad domain name" pop up. But I don't know what to do next. Anyone can guide me please.


    Concerning

    Hello

    I've done below the configuration to create 2 different pools where VM is joined to 2 different domains.

    I have Domain A and domain B, having 2 confidence way configured by the AD team.

    I sent 3 win 2 k 8 Server and added to the field.-a. On a single server, I installed vCenter & composer on one server I installed the login server & the other I did the Server fall back to the existing connection server.

    In connect to server, I added vCenter & composer. I have 2 different users who have domain join rights in Domain A and domain B.

    Domain-A\abcUser

    Domain-B\xyzUser

    I added above 2 users in the view composer under domain settings. PFA.

    When creating a pool, in the comments tab customization for users of domain-A, I chose identifier of domain-A\abcUser machine Domain-A and the AD container, which is present in Domina-A place machines.

    for domain B user created another pool, and tab customization of comments, I chose domain-B\xyzuser and the AD container that belongs to the domain B to place machines.

    If you want to add a different machines, you must not deploy a connection/replica server in each domain. Just add the ID domain user under domain composer view tab and choose the right ID when creating the pool.

  • The simplest configuration of vmware view?

    Good evening

    We have a small project with 5 desktop computers (= Users) and we think that it would be a good place to test VMware View.

    Unfortunately, it seems that we must implement the 4 servers to serve 5 customers:

    • See connection to the server
    • VMWare vCenter Server with View Composer
    • ESX Server
    • View transfer server

    What is the most simple and functional solution for VMware View with 5 users?

    The only software they use is a simple accounting tool that works very well with 100 k of memory...

    We hope that we can install a simple solution like this:

    HP (server) hardware with:

    • ESX Server with:
      • 1 x Windows 2008 R2 with Active Directory and the file server
      • 1 x Windows 2008 R2 with VMWare View to serve the 5 office users

    Unfortunately, there are no pre-sales VMware does support form / email (we hope that there is a customer support).

    Therefore, it would be great if someone can help us to answer this question.

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Kind regards

    Thomas

    I also wonder how this bake-off will go. I hope that the victories of view! In order to achieve this please take a good look at the documentation of the view. I also highly recommend that you take a look at the guide to optimize Windows 7 to see: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View-OptimizationGuideWindows7-EN.pdf

    This will show you how to build a good image of Win 7 basis for review. Also note that it is strongly recommended that you build your base images starting from zero and NOT P2V them. You can quickly and easily build images for operating systems Windows using MDT 2010 update 1. This tool is free and is Microsoft. I strongly recommend that you take a look. In addition, many optimizations for Win7 and view are also good for use with Xen. Good luck.

  • Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

    I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Hi Surya,

    No, it's not any problem with the configuration of your path.

    It only means that this policy does not allow additional configuration.

    I.e. with fixed NMP, you would be able to configure a preferred path allowing you to manually distribute the i/o load.

    Your current configuration does not offer this option.

    Kind regards

    I asked supplier what is the reason and that this was their response:

    "Memory is less, on vm servers, because there is an overpass (128-200 MB), which is deducted from the total memory, if you need more RAM you ask accordingly."

    This explanation does not seem right, because I think General cool knowledge happens on the hypervisor and comments should receive all the memory configured, if there are no limits set by resource management policies.

    They sent me a screenshot of VMclient which shows

    Memory: 1024 MB

    Overhead: 104,53 MB

    Use of the memory of the host: 855 MB

    Memory usage comments: 471 MB

    Is there a bad configuration on their side, or am I missing something here?

    There may be a missunderstanding. When you assign 1024Mo to the guest who is the amount of memory the burst enables the OS. Point.

    If you ask me, your provider is pulling on your legs.

    Some useful links:

    http://pubs.VMware.com/vi35/resmgmt/vc_rm__jumpstart.3.3.html

    Find what

    "Memory of the Virtual Machine.

    Each virtual machine consumes memory based on its configured size, more the additional memory overhead for virtualization.

    Configured size.

    The configured size is a building maintained by the virtualization for the VM layer. This is the amount of memory that is presented to the guest operating system, but it is independent of the amount of physical RAM that is allocated to the virtual machine, which depends on the resource (shares, booking, limit) parameters explained below.

    For example, consider a virtual machine with a configured size of 1 GB. When the guest operating system starts, he believes that it is running on a machine with 1 GB of physical memory. The actual amount of memory physical host allocated to the virtual machine depends on its resource settings memory and memory on the host ESX Server contention. In some cases, the virtual machine may charge the full 1 GB. In other cases, he could receive a small stipend. Whatever the actual distribution, the guest operating system continues to behave as if it is running on a machine with 1 GB of physical memory dedicated. "

    Hi all

    I tried to configure VI3 on my laptop and did almost all the configurations below

    I created as a result of VM on my laptop on Vmware workstation 6.5

    -2 Esx 3.5 Server

    -1 open run VM SAN

    -Center Virtual Win2k3 VM

    Everything is going well so far the esx servers start in 5 minutes and SAN targets are visible. But I don't see the Vmotion option on my virtual Center Server (probably because I n, t configured license server).

    I try to add the file licesnse to the file licsencse on the server of VMware, but still no help. I din, t get any mail from vmware with licenses in so attachment.

    anyidea what can be done here?

    Thanks in advance

    Anuj

    Hello

    Okay, I think that the license server is already there.

    is how to enable vmotion

    in each of your esx hosts

    go to the tab slot-> choose the networking-> click Properties of the vSwitch that is connected to your network vmotion (it must be a network of vmkernal)-> select the vmotion network in the new window and click on edit-> click on the box where it says enable vmotion.

    do this for both servers.

  • Inconsistencies and/or documentation issues with the configuration of DTD files

    There seems to be some inconsistencies in the implementation and/or documentation DTD references to use with consistent XML configuration files.

    * (1) operational configuration *.

    The documentation available in the States [http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH35UG/Operational+Configuration+Elements]

    "Deployment of Configuration descriptor operational coherence should start with the following DOCTYPE declaration:
    <!DOCTYPE coherence PUBLIC "-//Oracle, Inc.//DTD Oracle Coherence 3.5//EN"; "http://www.tangosol.com/dtd/coherence_3_3.dtd">
    -Why the URI refers to the * 3.3* DTD when it comes of a * 3.5* configuration?
    -Is accessible URI? Currently [http://www.tangosol.com/dtd/coherence_3_3.dtd] redirects to [http://www.oracle.com/tangosol/index.html]
    -the operational configuration in coherence.jar references * <! DOCTYPE SYSTEM consistency "coherence.dtd"; > * so it does not follow the documentation

    * (2) cache config *.

    The documentation available in the States [http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH35UG/Cache+Configuration+Elements]

    "The Configuration of the Cache descriptor must begin with the following DOCTYPE declaration:
    <!DOCTYPE cache-config SYSTEM "cache-config.dtd";>
    -Why is it a different mechanism (SYSTEM rather than PUBLIC) for compared to the operational configuration documentation?

    support the Editor * (3) *.

    If developers use the recommended syntax (2) editors such as Eclipse cannot provide supported of AutoComplete XML instructions. This is because the XML catalog requires a full URI refer to the DTD.

    This is explained in the wiki of the eclipse [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_the_XML_Catalog] as follows:

    "Note: If your XML document uses a DOCTYPE declaration (as shown below) which specifies a relative URI location (for example ' Invoice.dtd' as opposed to a full URI) then a DTD may * NOT * be registered using 'Invoice.dtd '; the key Id system. »

    Based on this problem, there are solutions, but would it not possible to have a complete qualified reference of DTD public? This would facilitate the tools support.

    For example, some configuration of base cover problems could be avoided by using code completion in the XML editor.

    * (4) support XML schema *.

    I noticed that the .NET config files use XML schema (see below), while Java uses DTD.
    <cache-config xmlns="http://schemas.tangosol.com/cache">
    This seems to offer benefits in the validation in the DTD. Are there not intend to harmonise this using diagrams for Java also?
