Pools of resources - from scratch

Currently our resource pools are useless, we have 2 in each cluster, but they have been configured with the default settings. I need to come up with a plan to create a cluster and redraw the pools of resources for it. What are the Commons enterprise resource pool configuration best practices? A major component is that we want to be able to guarantee some VM resources that they need, and we must be able to demonstrate that the client so they can be charged appropriately.

Maybe you want to follow the Performance Best Practices for VMware vSphere 5.x your initial configuration, monitor the performance of the environment. Fine tuning in the event of any dispute. vSphere Resource Management is the documentation that explains the impact of each option available to vSphere.

Material resources to specific virtual machines sometimes defeats the purpose of virtualization, but it can be done through features such as booking and affinity and anti-affinite CPU article.

Finally, usage and cost reports is usually done with vCenter Chargeback Manager.

  • Upgrade or start from scratch?

    I'm looking to upgrade 4.0 U1 U1 4.1 as vCenter.  I also replaced all our material at the same time.  I can't decide whether to use the data migration tool, or simply starting over.  We have a lot of hosts and virtual machines, but our config is simple.  Four no poles, no resource pools, etc... It would be easy to recreate.  What I am struggling with, is HOW did you start again.  If I installed ESXi on a new server, and then created a virtual WS08R2 machine and installed vCenter from scratch, how can I migrate my VMs on?  Can I submit the same storage as vCenter servers/clusters and just delete/re-supplement to the inventory?  It would involve some downtime for virtual machines right?  I would like to start over but it seems that the data migration tool appears as a easier, more directly transfer processes... but I hate just upgrades.  Still, something goes wrong. Thoughts?

    Yes, you should be able to add the storage to the new systems. Remove the old server vCenter guests and add the new. For vMotion, you will need to look at the CPU differences between old and new guests. You'll either need to use EVC to hide the difference or the power to move the guests. You will also need to decide how you will deal with the move of RDMs. the data again RDM disks storage vmotion VMDK.

    Most of the questions will be same as you put it at level or start from scratch.

  • Update 4.0 or start from scratch with 4.1?

    Here's my current context:

    vCenter 4.0 & customer 162856 to build running on a physical server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit.

    vCenter Update Manager DB and (everyone) are on separate physical server to SQL 2005 64-bit Windows Server 2003 R2 64-bit

    -Production Cluster running 3 ESX 4.0 Build 164009, 8 virtual machines running all the updates with the v7 hardware VM and VM Tools

    -1 ESX 4.0 Build 164009 (without clusters), run 1 machine virtual update with material v7 VM and VM Tools

    -1 ESX 3.5 Build 110268 (without clusters), current enforcement 6 VM with a hardware VM and VM Tools v4

    -1 ESX 3.5 Build 110268 (without clusters), current enforcement with a hardware VM and VM Tools 7 VM v4

    * After upgrade, I add a host ESX 4.1 extra (new installation) to create a 2nd group for DMZ using one of the above mentioned existing nonclustered hosts.  My total environment after upgrade will be is a small with only 7 guests and a total of 24 VM

    OK, I start over from scratch with the vCenter 4.1 instead of upgrade.  A few reasons for this is that these latest changes to my vCenter caused problems that more in VMware communities say a uninstall/reinstall their problems solved.

    These changes are the following:

    1. I installed the Client on an existing vCenter Server 4.0 4.1 vSphere.  I had some minor issues and found this shift of the versions is not good, so I uninstalled 4.1 and kept 4.0 client.  It was not great thing and resolved as far as I'm concerned.

    2. I changed my existing VUM by a local account SQL & SQL authentication to a domain account using Windows authentication.  As I made this change I get errors at the launch of the customer following plugin VUM.  I watched many messages on this problem and again the end result is a reinstall or replace as it was that I don't want to because I have the most secure option of Windows authentication.  It has become a pain in the neck and I tried to make sure that everything worked as it was before I have to start the reconstruction of vCenter for 64 - bit and take the existing databases, etc., but now it seems as if it would be better to start from scratch.

    Now, the things I did when I first installed VMware I would change are:

    1. instead of using 2 databases separate for vCenter and VUM, I would use rather than a database because my environment is very low and this option is recommended for large scale environments.  Initially, I would have not took care to keep the two, but the previous problems described above with my Crossover makes me want of it clear and start over again because I just used it in the past, it's a very small database.  I intend to use it more once I come to vCenter 4.1.

    2. I rebuild my server vCenter existing that is running Windows Server 2003 32-bit to a Windows Server 2008 64-bit, so if I start from scratch that do exactly I lose my existing vcenter database?  Just the configurations that I have with my cluster and individual ESX hosts?  I thought I can just add them in vCenter as before and just make sure it is everything what it was before... again... not a big problem since I was a very small environment.

    Thoughts?

    I would like to start with a new configuration of vCenter server, unless you use vCenter features such as vDS. The only things you lose are cluster settings (HA, DRS, resource pools,...) as well as historical data and Crossover settings.

    However, I keep the vCenter (with vCenter services disabled) and let the 3.5 on this virtual machine license server until you have upgraded 3.5 hosts. This way you can avoid the installation of the old license on the new vCenter Server Server server.

    Also, I'd install the vCenter DB and the DB VUM as separate databases!

  • New cluster or new pool of resources for tier 1 applications?

    Hello

    I have an existing cluster 5 node blade Esxi HP that I put in place for resource pools containing loads of pre-production and production work.  Now, we want to welcome applications from level 1 (Oracle DBs, Weblogic and middleware VMs servers).  Is there a best practice in the establishment of tier 1 workloads?  Should I add additional nodes to the cluster (until 8) and create a separate pool of resources for tier 1 applications, or should I implement a cluster 3 separate node (and generation) devoted entirely to the only level 1 workloads?  What are the advantages/disadvantages of each method?

    Thanks for your comments.

    M

    It depends on.

    (1) that you're going to develop this group even more tomorrow, or after you have added the hosts you have in mind who will be the end of the work?

    (2) how the negative risk is your boss or your client?

    (3) do you run your environment oversubscribed?

    (4) you understand the fundamentals of Resource Pools?

    Since I'm pretty risk adverse, I am tempted to create a new cluster with 4 nodes, where each node spans at least 2 or 4 chassis. Resource pools can resolve the problem of conflict of resources, but adds an extra layer of complexity to an environment that is not always welcome, and can make the diagnosis of difficult performance.

    Since you mention that you run ESXi on blades, please see the following article. I found it very informative regarding the problems of redundant N + 1 with blade configurations;

  • 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,

  • I want to set up Firefox sync from scratch using an account I own which shows as 'already underway use'.

    I had a problem with my old Firefox Sync account (from work, using my work email address) and I want to implement synchronization using my personal account. When I try to set up synchronization, my only options seem to be "Create new account" or "I have an account". If I select Create a new account, I'm stuck because technically the account has already been used (I've set up Sync a few years before using my account personal but never used), even if it is not in use on any of my machines. If I select I have an account, he wants me to synchronize the device with a new one, but I don't have a second to synchronize. I want to use my existing account to set up the synchronization from scratch on my main machine. How can I get this done?

    on another note: firefox 29 that will be released at the end of the month will use a different account system (not compatible with the current accounts of sync), then it might not be useful effort setting a synchronization with the old powers now: synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

  • Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

    Greetings!

    The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

    I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

    What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

    I do not understand your question about "interface."

    The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

    See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

    Your computer was preinstalled with:

    Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

    and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

    My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

    Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

  • Satellite Pro L10 reconstruction from scratch

    I need to rebuild a Satellite Pro L10 from scratch:

    Model PSL15E-00U003EN number
    Serial number: X 5137966

    I tried the recovery disc, no joy, LAN and wireless both give "limited or no connectivity."
    So I tried to reload Windows with a disc of Microsoft, always "connectivity limited or not.
    So I downloaded all the drivers.
    I rebooted the LAN and wireless drivers, and the modem driver and a few others to heal the yellow "?" in the Device Manager

    What to do next? Do I need another driver? I tried the Toshiba Recovery disk and loading Windows 'vanilla '. It's starting to look like a hardware problem, and I suspect that my last resort is to recreate the PC from scratch. A few questions:

    1. is there a complete list of drivers somewhere?
    2. in what order should I load drivers etc?

    Ideally, I would like to leave the non-essential elements, so I have a 'standard' windows install.

    Any help gratefully received.
    Simon.

    Hello

    already checked your network connection on the side of the router? May be some settings in your router are not correctly defined, or perhaps a few other computers on your network is involved with your Satellite L10.
    Please check your computer to another, well-known to the work network and ensure that the machine has also limited connectivity to ensure that it could be a hardware failure.

    Please give some feedback.

  • Can not find card his after clean reinstall from scratch for 32-bit vista from 64

    Hello everyone,

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this frustrating problem.

    I did a clean reinstall from scratch from vista 32 bit vista 64.   None of my goodies (mp3 player, phone... all unfortunately outdated) played on the 64 version.  That's why I nuked it.

    Resettlement has worked like a charm, except that now I can't get anything external outlets, which worked fine before the reinstall.  I used all aspects of the Device Manager and checked for downloads on each.  When I go to sound devices, it lists the sound card as "device high definition audio" and said that the software has been updated.

    The internal speakers are the delicious Altec Lansings... and they work fine.  In fact, when I plug something into the headphone Sockets, they continue to work.

    Therefore, I'm trying to find the name of the card its installed on my build and then find the driver for it.

  • Create a Module of Csharp/DLL from scratch?

    I want to create a module/DLL in C Sharp (Visual Studio .NET 2008) from scratch.  This module will be called from the Tools menu of the TestStand, and it will take a qualified full path of the file in the sequence class as input.  But I do not know how to start.  I took a brief look in the examples folder, but I don't see anything in Csharp.

    Is there an example I can copy?

    Y at - it a helper that will generate the stub (s) Csharp for me?

    Is there a friendly NI TestStand deity (God or goddess, I'm not picky) which will display a header/source stub file I can use?

    I don't know that you are pregnant. It of really not much to it. Simply create a c# class, which is a method you want to call from TestStand (make sure it is public). Then use the .NET adapter when you create a step (maybe a step in the Action) and step settings panel allows you to specify your Assembly and what to call it.

    I recommend that you store your code modules relative to the directory of the file in the sequence and specify this relative path for the setting code for the path module. In this way, you can move the tree of whole directories to a different drive letter or location and everything will still work.

    In addition, if you want to use the TestStand API, TestStand API interoperability assemblies are in the GAC and should appear in the list when you choose to add an assembly reference in visual studio.

    Your message was clearly not your comments to Microsoft Answers web site, so I moved it on the Feedback forum to "Install, upgrade and activate" windows forum.  Please return to your message, click the button change under it, change the menu Windows Version dropdown to indicate which version of Windows you are using, and then click on submit.  People can help better if they do not have to guess your version of Windows.

    Your best bet is to reinstall WIndows from scratch using the original Windows installation kit or factory restore disks supplied with the PC when your purchased people.  If she did come with a restore or the Windows installation disk drive, it came with a partition on the hard drive and the software to allow you to create the restore disks yourself.  Which will ensure that none of their remains.

    If you want to share data or peripherals between two PCs, you will need a LAN.  If you have internet access, then you already have a local area network.  Your ADSL access may or may not have a router provided with the equipment to access, but if it isn't you can easily add a.  The Knowledgebase Microsoft have some tutorials that describe how to configure a network home.
