• A question about the virtual processors in the prompt

  Dear Sir

  I have a general question about the number of virtual processors in the guest system.

  I use VMware ESXi 4.0.

  Say if my physical host has only 2 cups carrots (with or without HT should be the same), then is - it true that I can only attribute 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?

  Is it possible to give 4, 8 virtual processors in virtual machines?

  In my drop down menu I can NOT choose more than 2 virtual processors per virtual machine, I want to just make sure that it is not the problem of license.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Nanfang,

  So the general rule is the number of vcpus don't CAN NEVER exceed the number of physical processors. Is this correct?

  Replace "physical cpu" by "physical cores" and you are right, because a vCPU is mapped to a kernel. For example, you can assign 4 vCPU with a Quad-Core processor.

  If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you would be able to map 2 vCPU to the base, the vCPUs had to wait for them all the time because the physical kernel can simply perform an action at a time, why you would decrease the performance of your virtual machine by setting 2 vCPUs.

  It is not changed in vSphere 5.

  I noticed that some of my virtual machines have been in a constant cycle "Reconfigure virtual machine" in Vcenter.  It is normally about every minute that they will come to the top in the section recent tasks.  The big question I have is what this would cause when there isn't anyone else connected to do anything to these devices.  Although devices always work and can be used I'm looking to solve it then its not not flooding section recent tasks.  Any ideas?

  Broker for connections: View 4.5

• Question to the virtual Center assistance

  Hi all

  I have a question, were looking to upgrade our virtual center to 4.0. Currently its establishment 2.5 update 5.

  Now the question I have is when we go to 4.0, the new virtual centre will be on a windows 2008 server enterprise x 64 r2 platform. Will we still be able to service 3.5 esx hosts machines u4. ?

  Thank you, James

  ESX 3.5 U4 would be supported in vCenter 4.0.  Windows 2008 R2 is not currently supported.

• questions about the virtual memory and CPU allocation

  Hi, I have 2 questions that I hope will be answered in this forum.

  First of all, I have a computer for video editing with 4 hard drives in raid0 2... also a separate hard drive to the system and programs.

  16 GB of ram

  My question relates to the allocation of virtual memory... I currently set at min - max, same... 1200 MB on each raid0 array and nothing on the c drive.

  Is it safe and effective, or should I create another set up?

  also

  I have processor together for optimal performance for planning programs. I was wondering if the background services must wager together instead of programs.

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Sounds good to me. Distributed pagefile doesn't make much difference in a single dedicated pagefile and programs should take precedence over substantive services.

• question about the virtual document JAD for VCAC 6.1.00 build 2077124

  I used this document in the past for other versions

  is this valid document for VCAC 6.1.00 build 2077124?

  If this is not the case, what should I do otherwise?

  

  Jad POC guide must always be especially relevant. I can't say things are the same, but 6.0.x-> 6.1 are a relatively minor update, in terms of features to get things setup and go to 100%.

• Poor performance of the virtual computer. Questions RDY %

  I installed an environment to ESXi 4.1, and less than a week that I started getting complaints that some virtual machines were slow. Using ESXTOP moment RDY % is usually great, as in simple figures. Then there are times where it spikes up to 80% or hangs around 50% for about 30 seconds.  I know not all the virtual machines have VMTools updated may cause CPU scheduling questions?

  Never, I followed this environment in the past, so I don't know if they had a CPU contention before this upgrade or not, I'm going strictly by the comments of users.

  No, the VMware tools backdated wouldn't interfere.  In fact, you don't have even the VMware Tools installed to a virtual machine running normally.  Will pass you right next to the advanced features and performance gains unrelated to the CPU.  The CPU is the processor there is no driver for this specific to VMware.  Values of loans are quite specific - the virtual machine has something to see CPU wise and his waiting for access to the CPU.

  The physical number of nuclei in the home and what is it (Intel 5500 or 7300 etc.)?  How many virtual machines?  How many virtual processors assigned to hospitality?   How many VMS are multi-CPU?  What is most vCPU per VM on the host?

• Question about the size of my Virtual Machine

  I'm on Fusion 3.1 (and Windows XP in Fusion on a MacBookPro Leopard). I put my Windows Virtual Machine to be 40 GB size but I just ran OmniDiskSweeper and it shows that the virtual machine takes 53 GB. I see the same size in the Finder.

  Two questions: first, how is it possible for the virtual machine to limit growth, I gave him? Second, is there a way for me to downsize (safely). I did not quite in the virtual machine (mainly my installation of Windows) and a handful of programs so it's weird that she's so big.

  I have disabled Auto-protect.

  I have two snapshots, one of when I first set up the virtual machine and one of very recently. I once had a bunch of other photos but I deleted them. I mention this because I read in another thread that "orphan" instant can hang out somewhere but I don't know where to look to see if this is the reason for the growth of my virtual machine.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  One thing I didn't get your last answer: if snapshots are not backup, and the creation of a snapshot causes the basic disk that you want to stop growing, which are good for snapshots? Or in other words, your response, it looks like I should stop creating snapshots, Yes?

  In which case I should rely only on periodically manually save the virtual machine by copying in the Finder on an external drive?

  What I said was "Snapshots are not backups in the traditional sense of the word and should not be relied upon as such either." However, using clichés absolutely has merit and value but how to use them effectively and efficiently seems to escape most of the users.  As a general rule, I treat a not different Virtual Machine and a physical Machine, then when it come to back up the user data and the ability to quickly restore the entire construction as well as user data.  I use snapshots mainly for short periods of time, and then either delete them when I don't want to lose changes made along the way, or if I go back to a previous snapshot.  For example, I can run on a given snapshot and say a single snapshot for a week and if all was well I'll delete it and take another or if I need to do something that could end up with bad results I'll take a snapshot to do what I do and if I have a problem just go back to the previous snapshot or the basic disk as appropriate.  The trick is user data constantly backed up out of the Virtual Machine itself, as well as at some point in time I never have to worry about the State of and reason for any data or instant and what action I might have to or want to take.

  There are many other cases workers scenarios about how/when to use snapshots and it was just a bit of food for thought because I don't have time now to get deeper into it but the snapshots are a good thing to use as and when necessary, but do not count on them to replace the traditional methods/methodologies for backup/recovery of data user or any backup/restore system but use then as a another tool in the digital Toolbox.

• Question about the location of a host of virtual machines

  I work on temporarily to change the behavior of the DRS for a particular VM (in VI Perl), but my question is more general research of the root 'to host' for a particular virtual machine.

  The installation of the infrastructure program:

  + Folder1

  - + Cluster1

  -

  ---

  + Esx1

  -

  ---

  + VMs

  -

  ---

  + Esx2

  -

  ---

  + VMs

  .. .etc

  There are several clusters on different servers in this configuration.

  In order to manage the DRS by VM, I find the cluster that hosts the virtual machine.  The $vm_view - & gt; parent returns one 'value' (other than the name of folder) folder.  It seems that the only way to match the virtual machine to the cluster of accommodation is to do a brute force search, open multiple views and retrieve the values of each until I have a match, and then looking through each cluster in the corresponding folder to find the one that contains the virtual machine.

  Am I wrong?  It is an ugly and ineffective way to find the host for a virtual machine.  If I am not mistaken, are there plans for the addition of the hierarchy of the path to the view of the VM?

  A $view - & gt; config - & gt; value of path containing something like: file - & gt; Cluster - & gt; ESX Server - & gt; VM would be useful.  In addition, a function which maps values of resources to names of resources would be very helpful (with a code depend on a 'value' of the 'field-c125"and any other code that depends on a 'name' of"Cluster1"creates a lot of extra work).

  Thank you

  -David

  You can determine the Cluster that host a virtual machine by browsing through the ResourcePool of the virtual machine. Owner of the ResourcePool is the ClusterComputeResource who manages the virtual machine.

  $vm_view-> resourcePool->owner

  Also, to get the HostSystem that contains the Virtual Machine, you can follow the path

  $vm_view-> run-> home

  Regarding your suggestion to have a predefined path to access a managed entities, we have after explanation.  There are different paths through which you can access to the different managed

  entities of your inventory according to its hierarchy. Virtual Infrastructure gives you the flexibility to design your inventory. You can add a folder or host or a Cluster directly to your data center.

  Then it still allows a folder to have three objects as its child entity. If the path for any entity depends on the structure of your inventory. If a path can be set.

  All managed objects are uniquely identified managed objects ID. Name can be dupilcate for few entities in a data center, you can have two Resourcepools with the same name in different groups. Similarly, you can even named so that each entity is mapped using an object ID, and not a property 'name '.

• Question about the configuration of virtual computer file and the working VM location

  I noticed one of my virtual machines had two data warehouses listed under "Items" in the vSphere Client.

  After some research autour, I found the virtual machine files are in the correct data store, but the 'VM-configuration file' and 'Place of work VM' are in another data store.

  Can I combine all in the same database?   I'd rather have the config and the workplace on ma who has a lot of main storage.  For some reason, the configuration file and the location of work were created on a local storage on my host.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  David Moore

  You can use Storage vMotion to migrate only the virtual machine configuration file to the desired location, just start the wizard of vMotion and storage step 'Select the data store', click Advanced, and you will see the option to select a new destination for the configuration file data store.

• Questions about the allocation of multiple NETWORK cards in a machine virtual Windows XP Machine HOST/NAT or bridged?

  Hi all

  That is the situation. We have a Machine physics WindowsXP with 5 CARDS, all with static IP. Only be connected to the internal network without physical Internet connection is used.

  Map NETWORK 1 has a 10.34.78.241/255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.34.78.2

  Map NETWORK 2 has an IP 192.168.22.242/255.255.255.0

  Map NETWORK 3 has a 192.168.100.241/255.255.255.0 IP

  Map NETWORK 4 has an IP 172.27.254.240/255.255.0.0

  5 NIC has an IP 192.168.242.10/255.255.255.252

  I used VMWare Converter Standalone to do a P2V PC, which works well with the latest version of VMWare Workstation. All were brought to the course successfully. The virtual machine has 5 Networksas by the XP Machine of origin.

  I built a Win7 Machine with 5 physical NETWORK interface cards, I suppose to replicate the Windows original XP Machine, I need configure the static IP address of the new NICs as shown above and configure cards NETWORK the VM 5 HOST mode and use the virtual network Editor

  to adapt the VMS NICS? Or is there a better way to do it?

  Cheers for any help and advice that can be provided...

  If I'm wrong, you should be able to create a Bridged (vmnet) network for each physical card. Make sure that one (which is created by default) is mapped to a physical NIC dedicated rather than automatic.

• on the virtual hardware noob question, pls help

  I have a problem. I have a system with vmware not made by me, but now I have to take control of it and make backups of machines. I want to buy essentials and essentials of veeam vsphere.

  Today, I read this:

  Virtual hardware

  • Virtual machines with disks involved in the shared SCSI bus are not supported, because VMware doesn't support taking snapshots these virtual machines.

  • RDM virtual disks in physical mode, Independent disks disks connected via in-guest iSCSI initiator are not supported and are ignored automatically process.

  Where can I find this information? I mean where can I see in vsphere client if I am in this situation? Is there something one place where I can find clear if my system is in this situation? I had under Configuration, storage adapters, and it is written:

  Broadcom iSCSI adapter

  vmhba32 iSCSI

  This means that I'm doomed?

  Hello

  This information is on your VM configurations. If you need to choose your VM--> pass parameter to change. Then select your SCSI controller and verify if the virtual or physical mode is selected.

  

  . For RDM, just select a hard drive and check to see if you have a logic unit number instead of a vmdk. But if it's a vmdk you will not see the physical or virtual mode option.

  

  Kind regards

  Julien.

• Question to delete the virtual machine

  Hi all

  ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

  1. when I "delete VM from disk", why sometimes the record (with disk vmdk files) are not deleted? Is this a normal behavior?

  2. If the size of the virtual machine is 100 GB, can I expect that there will be 100 GB of space released in the data store?

  Thank you.

  Fajar.

  (1) why vmdk can be detached? What is the cause?

  1 - in fact the only one - is that the virtual disk has been manually detached.

  (2) why ESXi don't simply delete the entire folder when you are prompted to "remove disc"? You can probably avoid this kind of problem.

  For security reasons, only files that are known to belong to the virtual machine will be removed. The problems you get with deleting too many files is generally much more severe than the one you if a file is not deleted.

  I check the file against the inventory, but it becomes tiring when the folder is located in the shared data store, I check against several hosts.

  In 99% of cases (have you seen, I did not use the word "generally") ' delete drive ' will delete all files related to the virtual machine. In the case of a shared storage you don't have to check on each host, since, in the majority of cases (again once I have use 'usually) all guests have access to the same storage.

  Another reason why the - mainly the vmdk files - files cannot be deleted, is when they are locked. For example, by a hanging backup process.

• Question about how to include the virtual machine output

  Currently, using this command:

  Get - vm | Get-networkadapter | ForEach-Object {Write-Host $_.} The name', ' {$_.macaddress} '.

  Gives me this result:

  NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:1 c

  NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:28

  I'm interested also in writing the name of real virtual machine as well.

  name of the virtual machine 1, NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:1 c
  name of the virtual machine 1, NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:28

  Don't know how to work out of virtual machine name as 'Name' asks also the network card information.

  Try it like this

  $report = foreach($vm in (Get-VM | where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" -and $_.Version -eq "v7"})){
      Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vm  | `    Select @{N="VMname";E={$vm.Name}},
