Reserved hardware memory

• Reservation of memory VM

  Need information please.

  I have part of a DRS and HA Cluster host. DRS value manual at present for other reasons.

  Host has 104 GB of memory. A virtual computer is running on this host. VM has 100GB vRAM

  When you try to create a reserve of memory of 100 GB for the virtual machine, I get the error that there is not enough memory available on the host. Why is this?

  No other virtual machines running on the host. I also put the admission control to turn off: power VM allow operations that violate constraints of availability.

  Any help?

  You probably use in a situation where general requirement of memory your VM.  This specified overload the memory of reading about the virtual machine Summary tab?  I bet this amount more time some ESXi system is going to be greater than 4 GB, for a virtual machine with 12 cores and 100 GB.  Watch MMTP/MB and see how vmk uses; It's that the amount of the 'memory of mangement' being used (not VM related).

  Question: if it's the only VM that runs on the host computer, so why bother creating a reservation?

• Reservation of memory for desktop view

  "Set the VMware View Master model with a 50% memory reserve for all deployed VDI computers have a reservation of 50% of memory"

  Source: http://joshodgers.com/2012/12/17/example-architectural-decision-memory-reservation-for-virtual-desktops/

  Anyone done this?  My model is currently set to 0 for the memory reserve.

  My current setup:
  Windows 7 x 64
  2 vCPU
  3 GB RAM

  Should I pay for the reservation of memory 1536 and I test?

  Yes I usually recommend this. You will not see a big difference in performance, but will save your storage space because it will only need to create two times less fat-file on disk.

• How can I pay for the reservation of memory on all virtual machines to "0"?

  I am trying to write a script that will pay for the reservation of memory on all virtual machines that are invited in a cluster to '0 '.  We have book too much memory, and this setting should allow VMWare facilities manage reserves memory for me.  I have hundreds of virtual machines to update, so I can't do it by hand.  I hope that it is possible via the CLI.

  Can someone help me with this please?

  Matt example work certainly, and I'm sure that he was going to follow up with something similar to this after having confirmed if it worked or not because it is much more serious on the optimization of code for speed, but I'll (try to) save the effort. To test its extract on a cluster of 45 VMS, it took more than four minutes to complete.  The excerpt below took about 25 seconds.  The difference is of course to use the cmdlet "Get-View" and that it can run asynchronously so (it begins a vCenter task and immediately passes the following).  Of course, this will also put more of a strain to your vCenter server, so keep that in mind.

  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.memoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo
  $spec.memoryAllocation.Reservation = 0
  Get-Cluster "YOUR_CLUSTER" | Get-VM | Get-View -Property Config.MemoryAllocation | %{$_.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)}
  

• Reservation of memory from system resources

  I use monik part of backup tools, and there is a best practice to change the setting of the CPU and the memory at 1500 MHz and 800 MB.

  In the next page of VMware KB, there is a description to change the allocation of memory, only in ESXi 4.1, there is no material cofiguration option > memory.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003501

  But in configuration > system resource allocation, I can set the CPU and memory, is that the same allocaiton memory for the ESXi console?

  On this tab, we have generally fine tune the allocation of resources for this host. But this sentence anyone unless someone has encountered a problem. For the parameters of the ESX host we usually set the value in memory and CPU for the console of any third-party application or service that makes us turn on this host.

  In the case of ESXi, if big it seems people leave just as Norbert has asked to change by a seller of 3rd party app.

  Please refer to this article which contains details about the reservation of memory from system resources

• Reservations of memory

  Hello

  I would try to set a reserve of memory on one of our SQL servers. However, when I try to configure a virtual machine to use xGB memory, I get "not enough resources to meet the level of failover configured for HA.

  Also can someone please explain what "actions" option for us in respect of the Allocation of resources?

  We continue to have a user experience slow with some VMS, the harp of SQL guys on all physical servers being faster than the virtual, if we can change these virtual machines with these options of allocation of resources to our advantage that would be great.

  There are 3 ESX vSphere 4.0 hosts in cluster, 8x3Ghtz with 48 GB of mem, they use about 30% of the resources, a lot of spare grunt it I thought for reservations.

  Any advice would be appreciated!

  See you soon

  Brendan

  André - Gave you great link that is right out of the deep diving for book HA. %EST based option just below the defult setting and if I remember with overload you want to about 35%

  I have also now consider your 1st post you use pools of resources, can I ask how they used beining? Are they necessary? I want to smplifly your enveroment as much as possible so there is less area to find problems with the preformance.

• Reservations of memory and CPU

  Simple question please: a virtual machine must be powered turn off/on when implementing a reserve of memory and cpu? I know kernel certainly used swap file automatically disappear when the virtual machine is running and a reserve of memory - at least I do not.

  Thank you!

  If the answer is correct please mark the issue how responded.

  Thank you

• Reservation of memory on a large scale

  Does anyone use for almost every VM ESX memory reservations?

  If so, why and how many virtual machines?

  Thank you

  In fact is not AIX VMware ESX and as has already been said, reserve memory should be used only if the host memory is oversubscribed (som of the VM memory > physical memory on the host).

  Reservation of memory also impacts HA.

  The only reason to use the memory of reserve must ensure some essential services that VM will not go into swap and they will have physical memory at any time, but this isn't a really common situation. I have only 2 of the VMs on 150.

• Reservation of memory = slow start

  Hi guys,.

  why whenever I do use the reservation of memory on a prompt that the system takes forever to start? It takes a lot of time during the windows progress bar and applying computer settings.

  You'd try to check if the problem is not related to your storage space. By default, each virtual computer creates a swap file in the same place, where its vmdk and configuration files. To avoid this swap, you need to maximize the reservation of memory limit in the properties of the VM. You must close the virtual machine and start it again to see the effect

  How much memory have this virtual machine? and a reservation?

• Reservation of memory for the server sqql

  Hello

  I am running two SQL servers with 4 virtual CPUs and each has 12G of RAM available.

  We have noticed that sql process uses only 180MB of RAM while SQL is designed to use all available memory... We decided to use a reservation of memory for these boxes and grant a full 12 GB for each booking.

  (1) that would be really useful?

  (2) I noticed that after having reserved memory, that the system has taken something like 10 minutes to start, can anyone explain to me why?

  Thank you

  The shares of resources can be adjusted if necessary. I don't think that you need. As well as the host has only a single virtual machine now, who knows what the future may bring. You add multiple virtual machines and you will start to do the math. ESX let his work resources and balance. If you see performance degradation then start looking at the distribution of resources.

  As for the CPU that the virtual machine is not the only object on the system might compete for processor resources, you also have the SC. When you give the VM 4 vCPU find the system to wait on the availability of all hearts.

  You can reduce the number to 2 and even play with the processor affinity if you want, you should try to determine the weather your SQL system really needs the CPU/MEM tweaks (in my experience IO is the cause of the headache of performance most SQL).

• Get a reservation of memory VM in the workflow

  Hello

  I have a simple question: How can I recover the reserve memory for a virtual machine?

  I get real memory with "myvar = VirtualMachine.config.hardware.memoryMB"; but booking I don't know.

  I tested: 'myvar2 = VirtualMachine.memoryAllocation.VcResourceAllocationInfo.reservation;' but it doesen't work.

  Best regards

  With the help of Managed object browser I figured out: you should be able to access the booking for a virtual computer object settings through the path of the attribute

  resourceConfig.memoryAllocation.reservation

  
  

  
  

• Satellite P750-05F reserved graphics memory and best driver nVidia

  I recently bought a P750-05F.
  Windows 7 say systems specifications

  8 GB of ram installed. 6 gig available for the RAM of the system.
  For the graphics GT540M said he dedicated 2 GB, 4 GB available.

  Obviously 2 gig of system ram is reserved for graphics. How can I cancel it?
  I think that 2 gig dedicated is more than enough.

  I want to free the RAM of the system 2 gig reserved for RAM in the system.
  I can't find any bios or graphics driver for this options?

  Also, what is the best driver nvidia latest to use for best performance on this laptop?

  Help, please.

  Share the graphics card only if memory his need. But you can't change it manually. This is controlled by the graphics driver and the whole process is executed automatically.

• Deployed VM not awarded a reservation of memory

  People,

  I have a model of VC endpoint with predefined limits of memory and CPU and booking amount.

  When I deploy from this plan, I see that the deployed virtual computer has CPU limits and Hotel booking but reserve memory appears as 0.

  Settings of master plan

  

  Virtual computer after deployment settings
  

  

  Kindly let me know what is the problem here.

  Thank you and best regards,

  RN

  The vCAC, change the action plan.
  Set this property to this topic: VMware.Memory.Reservation

  a value of 1433

  This should solve your problem.
  reserves are not determined by the model of the blueprint for renewal, rather than by the custom properties defined on the vCAC plans.

• Confusion on reserves/resource memory pools.

  I read a ton of information about memory resources and Resource Pools, but nobody seems to clarify one thing: what is the amount of memory I need to configure for a Windows virtual machine?

  Here's the question:

  I have a Windows 2008 domain with several virtual servers.

  Two domain controllers

  An Exchange 2010 Server

  A Terminal Server 2010

  A SQL Server

  I put each of the above virtual machines to have 2048 (2 gigabytes) of memory in the operating system. SQL, Terminal Server and Exchange are set to 4096 GB of ram.

  I noticed that SQL, Exchange and Server Terminal server sit idle to about 1.81 concert at 2gig of its use.

  My question:

  This who should I put my virtual machines to? Do I put them all to 6 or even 8 concerts because I know that most will never need that, but over time the term of Exchange Server and SQL "could."

  If I do, my vSphere Resource Pool provide the necessary memory needed and deflate will recover do not need?

  I am worried about the definition of an absolute limit for these machines that would not allow for ballooning and inflating etc but it doesn't seem to be an article about what it takes to set your VM too inside the actual operating system of the virtual machine?

  Thank you!

  Allocation of RAM gives a maximum limit for the amount of memory that can use a virtual machine. Once the VM starts using memory, ESXi will allocate as needed. If you set the box 'Book all memory comments' ESXi creates a hard reserve for the amount of memory.

  Also note that you can add RAM on the fly (not remove however) using memory hot add functionality, but this must be activated on a basis by VM when the virtual machine is shut down. Also note that there is a small overhead (extra) when using this feature to only turn on a virtual machine where hot-memory add is not really necessary.

  A medium base value is not really there, but we have set up simple domain with 2 GB memory controllers. In your situation, I'd go with:

  SQL: 4 GB

  Exchange / 3GB

  DomainControllers (assuming they are simple domain Active Directory, DNS, DHCP servers): 1 GB each

  TS: 4 GB

  That would give you 13 GB of RAM implementation but because of GST (transparent Page Sharing), you can provision this a little. Also be sure to install the VMware Tools in the virtual machine (can't emphasize this point) to be able to use the balloon when it's necessary. Perhaps this is an option to upgrade the two hosts to 16 GB because it would give you a little more space based on the memory usage.

• What is reservation of memory in a cluster?

  Hello

  That's what the guide to management resources said airline booking...

  The amount in the field "Reserved capacity" being reserved to the

  support for virtualization.

  Not totally understood, means that it is an overload of ESXi to the virtual machines in the cluster running?

  Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

  That is right.

  Each guest got some fresh memory overhead for the VMKernal. On ESXi 800 MB is allocated for the guests.

  Each virtual machine has also overload memory. See attached table

  In summary it is a simple calculation of your total memory overload estimated for a cluster, you can add each overload of mem to host more VMs Mem overhead
