• The list of all the Resource Pools that are part of a group of ESXi

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a piece of code work that will list all the resource pools that are present in a cluster of ESXi.

  • I know I can find what list of resources of a virtual machine resides in.  I don't want that.

  // Find a matching resource pool on an ESXi hosts
    var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
    var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
  
  
    System.log("what is the ESXi cluster: " + esxiCluster.name);
    System.log("vimtype: " + esxiCluster.vimType);
    System.log("what pools exists: " + esxiClusterResourcePools);
  

  So I know that the vimType will come back with what I expect (ClusterComputeResource).  The question I have is the object "resourcePool" is reference to the root resource list (in my case, it is 'resources').

  What I want is all DRS resource pools are configured.  I need something like "resourcePool_ResourcePool.children".

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Check if this code example that works in your case:

  var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
  var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
  var pools = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.resourcePool").getAllChildResourcePool(esxiClusterResourcePools);
  
  // dump names of child pools
  for each (var pool in pools) {
    System.log(pool.name);
  }
  

• Resource pool limit Datastore Quota

  Hello

  I need to limit the quota of data store for a specific group, e.g. they can only allocate 1 TB to 10 TB data store for their virtual machines.

  CPU and RAM are possible with resource pools, but how can I accomplish this with data warehouses?

  what you are asking for can be easily achieved in vRealize Automation or vCloud Director.

  But in the vSphere environment, you have to achieve by using roles and permissions, where you create datastore with limited storage space and assign permission to users wished to not to exceed the use of storage space after certain limit. That way they won't see all data warehouses and they will not be able to use all the space.

• Monitor the IOPS / s in a Resource Pool?

  Hello world

  I am quite new to vROM and just get your feet wet for me.  I've been delving into the book "Mastering Operations Manager vRealize" useful and which was helpful, but I'm trying to understand an important piece on:

  We have pools of different resources for different departments within our Organization, and I try to get a good graph for IOPS / s in each resource pool.  I was able to get a list of all virtual machines in a resource pool by creating a dashboard with the widget resource pool game object selector, then use "Diagnose e/s disk of the Virtual Machine list" view to see all the virtual machines within the list of resources and then for the summary allows you to SUM add them all together.  This gives me a number, but does nothing for this over time.  I'd like to be able to see that number over the next few months (even if it means just go ahead of data today onward, not historical).

  Any ideas?  I think I must be missing something, like the Resource Pool looks like it would be a good way to measure the impact of the drive.  Folder of the Virtual Machine might work also, but is not as clean as I would like.

  Hello world

  Right after I got this resolved so I thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is curious.  It has to do with the SuperMetrics.

  The formula I created is as follows:

  SUM (${adapterkind = VMWARE, resourcekind = VirtualMachine, attribute is virtualDisk | commandsAveraged_average, depth = 1})

  It takes the sum of all virtual machines to a level under the resource pool.  I also used average and Max values, because this helps to show trends and you have aberrant VMs eating a ton of IOPS / s.

  I received lots of help from Iwan Rahabok virtual red point.  Specifically, this thread here: http://virtual-red-dot.info/any-vm-abusing-your-iaas-by-doing-excessive-workload/

• Reservation of CPU Resource Pool

  Hello everyone

  I need feedback on pools of resources, and in particular for the CPU share uses.

  I read the "Mastering Vmware vSphere 5.5" and I understand how Vmware works for the share of the CPU.

  I have the a customer who want to buy me a resource pools for this virtual machine management. He will buy vCPU 26 and 64 GB of RAM.

  I know how to set up the RAM, but I did not how to do for the CPU.

  I started by 26 multiples by the clock of the CPU, but the value is higher or lower than 1 ESXi. So I think I made a mistack.

  Can someone help me to understand how do for the CPU resource pool.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Best regards

  Matt

  Hi Matt,

  Personally, I put a limit of 2 GHz by heart. CPU host have 3.0 GHz. On this way a big vm as you can 'kill' the host and other virtual machines on it.

  When you use the same limit, you will need to set the limit at 52000 MHz (26 x 2000 MHz Cores).

  Kind regards

• Question of Resource Pool

  Hi all

  Small question about resource pools. If I create a resource pool, the CPU and memory, I reserve will continue to be shared in the entire cluster until the virtual machines in the pool so require? Or once that I reserve of 20%, the main pool by default (the other virtual machines in the cluster) will no longer have this resource?

  Thank you very much

  Dave

  Hello

  This part of the documentation is not, however, in the main section its in the SDK/API section.

  This is straight from the vSphere 5.5 resources management pdf

  

  This stipulates that if you put a reserve on the list of resources, it will be discounted from the full resources of the parent. The resources are then considered reserved.

  The video came from VMworld 2012 which was all about the launch of vSphere 5.1 then I guess that his reference to this version.

• N + 1 configuration with 4 physical blades that are assigned to a single resource pool

In addition, I want to make it worth the custom action that ensures that the resource pool gets all the time shared four physical hosts in contention.

  Here is the command I use to customize this value. All I need to know is how to customize the number of shares to ensure that he is the owner of all the time the equivalents 4 blades in our cluster.

  Please look at the picture to see the stats on the host machine. Thanks in advance for the help.

  As far as I know, the number of shares of CPU of a resourcepool is a relative number you should see with regard to the number of shares of the other resourcepools CPU.

• Automation of Resource Pool

  I'm currently being responsible to try to automate the allocation of resource pool in our clusters.  Currently our operations team has trouble to the size of the resource automatically, pools or systems are migrated and stocks of resource pool are not delivered to the appropriate amount.  Is there a way I can automate amounts related to actions based on memory and CPU for all VM in an existing pool.

  For example.

  Resource pool includes 7 virtual machines for a total memory 100 000 and 10,000 shares of CPU.  System is migrated on and now the list of resources should be 80,000 memory and 6 000 CPU.  Is there a way to get Orchestrator for the calculation for this and change the list of resources accordingly?

  Ben

  Check out Duncan Eppings post here:

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/24/custom-shares-on-a-resource-pools-scripted/

  These scripts were performed in powershell, but the idea was a weekly script that you can run to automatically maintain the list of resources sharing in the balance that you have discussed.  What you have to do is tweak for your needs then either run on a host of powershell of the vCO, or take the logic and translate it into javascript code.

  Hope this is useful!

• Root user cannot create VMS within the Resource Pool after you rename the Cluster

  Currently, vCenter manages two clusters. I renamed a single cluster and the root user seems now are not allowed to create a new Virtual Machine in resource pools to the title of the group with the changed name. I tried to change the name of the cluster to its original name... no luck.

  The root user can still create a VM under the individual cluster nodes, but not in a resource pool.

  The cluster that has not been renamed yet can be managed completely with the root user. Resource pools it allow me to create a virtual machine.

  I found this last issue and checked on each cluster node that the ACEDataRoleId is-1 for each section: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031192

  I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  I think it's a bug. When I created a new data center and migrate all nodes in cluster about him, the permissions problem I was experiencing did not follow.

  Thank you for your help.

• pass fails with a missing resource pool alert

  Hi, I have a server dell power edge r510, with ESXi 5.0 is installed in it.

  in one of the virtual machines within this server, I installed Vcenter (I think that it is Version 5.1) everything was stable until the vcenter database gets 10 GB and crashed and I couldn't fix it. So I installed a new windows with vcenter 5.5 inside vps. and for this new vcenter reconnected to the server. so, I've reconfigured resource pools and VPS users again in this new vcenter.

  Watch ESXi host now as does not not to the vcenter. but all virtual machines inside the esxi server work without problems.  I can't reconnect to the host in vcenter, and I can't connect directly to the ESXi via vsphere client and root password.

  but I can log on to the esxi via ssh or console.

  from the console, I restarted the management services, but it does not help.

  the SSH, I ran the following commands:

  status /etc/init.d/vpxa #.

  vpxa is running

  status /etc/init.d/hostd #.

  pass is not running.

  When I restart pass, it is said has started, but after a few minutes still pass fails.

  How can I change the list of resources of the VM to ssh when esxcli do not work?

  I am facing this problem recently, almost all the 5 days the server will respond is not in vcenter, restart the entire esxi server can solve the problem but it apears again.

  I think that resource in vcenter pools doesn't sync properly with the configuration of esxi, as when I connect to the server directly with root/vshpere it shows different configuration than what I see in vcenter!

  and I can't upgrade esxi host because there are about 10 VPSes important and stable running on this server which is my main server and I can not have time on this server or migrate virtual machines to a different server/IPs.

  because I'm not sure of the compatibility of the versions of drivers/bios nic with ESXi 5.5 and I fear that if I update the ESXi from 5.0 to 5.5 I face other questions strangers/downtime.

  I had the server up and running again, by editing this file: /etc/vmware/hostd/pools.xml

  then I found the VPS with id of the pool of resources 11 evil, changed for another pool of resources as the other virtual machines.

  and then made a

  restart the /etc/init.d/hostd

  all started working again without restarting the whole esxi server and turn off virtual machines, I have searched for about 1 day to solve this simple thing!

  even once when I made a few changes in the vcenter, and then restarted resource pool settings move it in ssh, it fails under vcenter changed the VM resource for a bad configuration pool.

  so I changed the resource pool manually xml and restarted spend, while vcenter can connect to the esxi host.

  then vcenter, again removed all the resource pools and created new resource pools. and this question of time is set.

  There was some resource pool configuration that was imported from esxi host to vcenter which was no longer available and has not been deleted in syncronizations between esxi and vcenter when changed resource pools. and the list of the missing resources caused problems.

• How can I restrict a resource pool to a single data store?

  I am setting up an environment to exercise for different groups of users and you want to limit/permissions to users in each resource pool so that they see only the data store where their enclave of virtual machines.  I was able to configure the actions of CPU and RAM correctly, but access to storage is stumping me.  Clarification: I'm not worried about storage i/o, just permissions/quotas on the data store itself.  Did anyone done this before?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Exactly what I need.  Thank you very much.

• Configuration issue Resource Pool

  We do currently not pools of resources within our environment. What we seek to do is implement with reserves resource pools memory based on our VM sizes. For example, we will create a pool of resources of 4 GB for virtual machines with 4 GB of memory, a pool of resources for virtual machines with 8 GB of memory, 8 GB etc. We would then define the reserve of memory halfway (the virtual machine) for each pool. Thus, the 4 GB VM will have a reserve of 2GB. Our goal in doing this is to reduce the size of our swap files. We have a few virtual machines spread in our environment that are configured independently. For example, a 12 GB VM with a reserve of 6 GB has a 6 GB swap file. At the global level, it could save us a lot of space to store data.

  A few questions while doing this, however. What will happen for the VMs who have already activated bookings? The resource pool overrides the individual VM settings?

  And no one sees this as having harmful effects on an HA event? We had problems in the past in a different environment with reservations (big 38 GB +), and when we lost a multitude of virtual machines have been unable to turn on because there was no more available resources.

  Resource pool reservations have no effect on the reservation of the virtual machine in the pool - they are independent

  Difficulties with HA is a question - another is by assigning reservations to all VM you can come to the point where an ESXi host won't have enough memory to satisfy the reserve causing the VM does not start.

• VCO 5.5 - How can I sort a table / VC:VirtualMachine resource pool?

  Hello

  I want to sort a VM of their resource pool table.

  I tried a few things from various research but none of them does not seem to work, but I can't find a lot of reference material.

  where WindowsVMs is an array / VC:VirtualMachine

  WindowsVMs = WindowsVMs.sort (sortVMs);

  I tried these two functions, I also tried the same thing with the name of the virtual machine as a sorting criterion. Doesn't seem to work and the System.log does not create an entry.

  
  function sortVMs(a,b) {}
  return (a.resourcePool.name > b.resourcePool.name);
  System.log ("0");
  }

  function sortVMs(a,b) {}
  var vmA = a.resourcePool.name.toLowerCase ();
  var vmB = a.resourcePool.name.toLowerCase ();
  
  If (vmA < vmB) {string ascending //sort
  Returns - 1
  System.log ("1a < B");
  }
  If (vmA > vmB) {}
  Returns 1
  System.log ("1a > B ');
  }
  
  Returns the return value 0 //default (no sorting)
  System.log ("0");
  }

  
  Any thoughts?

  Concerning

  Mark

  I have managed to get this to work using this function

  function sortVMs(a,b) {}

  If (a.resourcePool.name == b.resourcePool.name) {}

  return 0;

  } ElseIf (a.resourcePool.name > b.resourcePool.name) {}

  Return 1;

  }

  Returns - 1;
