• Script of PowerCLI to capture ESXi host CPU & memory

  Hi all

  I'm having the time more difficult to find a script that will give me ESXi host CPU and memory. I just need something simple, if there is such a thing?

  Example of what I'm looking for:

  Host name	Ability of GHz CPU	CPU GHz used	Free GHz CPU

  Host name	The memory capacity	The memory used	Free memory

  Help, please.

  You mean like this

  Get-VMHost-name MyEsx |

  Select Name,

  @{N = 'GHz CPU capacity'; E = {[math]: tour ($_.)} (CpuTotalMhz/1000,2)}},

  @{N = "GHz CPU used"; E = {[math]: tour ($_.)} (CpuUsageMhz/1000,2)}},

  @{N = "CPU GHz free"; E = {[math]: Round (($_.))} CpuTotalMhz - $_. {{(CpuUsageMhz) / 1000,2)}}.

  @{N = "GB memory capacity"; E = {[math]: tour ($_.)} (MemoryTotalGB, 2)}},

  @{N = 'Memory used GB'; E = {[math]: tour ($_.)} (MemoryUsageGB, 2)}},

  @{N = "GB free memory"; E = {[math]: Round (($_.))} MemoryTotalGB - $_. {{(MemoryUsageGB), 2)}}

  Is this a new virtual machine running was not long?

  Or has it been turned off for an extended period?

• Get-Cluster execution memory and cpu details

  I am writing a script to generate graphs based on average use memory and cpu during the previous month, but I'm doing it for each cluster itself without explicitly naming them. The graphic bit side (I use mschart or googlechart for this) I just need to get the actual statistics and it's the bit that I have a problem with because everything I see with my research pulls the individual information of the VMs or the hosts in the cluster.

  I am looking for two values in each case - the name of the cluster and average use. But the use of the average for the overall Group and not the indivdual VMs.

  I was watching this:

  script of PowerCLI to capture cpu usage statistics & mem

  But that you use hosts.

  I have attached a picture of something that I'm looking, red line on average in percentage and the blue line on average in megabytes. It has been exported from the vcenter however. I'm just trying to save time.

  Thanks in advance

  For a data point average per day, you can simply add -interval 86400 education Get-Stat:

  Get-Stat - entity (Get-Cluster Cluster) - Stat $metrics - start $start - finishing $finish - interval 86400
  Instance of MetricId Timestamp value unit
  --------                ---------                          ----- ----     --------
  CPU.usagemhz.Average 14.05.2014 02:00 MHz 4298
  CPU.usagemhz.Average 13.05.2014 02:00 MHz 4109
  CPU.usagemhz.Average 12.05.2014 02:00 MHz 4163
  CPU.usage.Average 14.05.2014 02:00 10,74% *.
  CPU.usage.Average 13.05.2014 02:00 10,27% *.
  CPU.usage.Average 12.05.2014 02:00 10,41% *.

  Note that it may not include the values of the last day, since the rollup database for daily statistics task has not yet executed.

• CPU/memory of the ESXi host totally access & usage and temp CPU with PowerCLI.

  Dear all,

  I am struggling with the CPU/memory reading of the host completely & information about the use of PowerCLI and the temperature of the CPU is also very useful for me. I used "Get-VMHost-name" to get VMHost to object, but cannot get its properties such as CpuTotalMhz, CpuUsageMhz, MemoryTotalMB, MemoryUsageMB.

  And also do not know which object has temporary information of the CPU. Thank you!

  You probably have a fairly old PowerCLI version (4.0).

  We'll see if the upgrade solves a number of these problems.

• script which gives the hostname with more CPU resources and memory available

  Hello

  Anyone have a script which gives the hostname with more CPU resources and memory available in the cluster?

  Concerning

  Vickie

  Hello, VicMware-

  You can get the host with the free CPU, or with the most free memory resources, using the following:

  ## get the host with the most free CPU cyclesGet-Cluster myCluster0 | Get-VMHost | Select-Object Name,    @{n="CpuMhzFree"; e={$_.CpuTotalMhz - $_.CpuUsageMhz}} | Sort-Object -Property CpuMhzFree -Descending | Select -First 1
  
  ## get the host with the most free memoryGet-Cluster myCluster0 | Get-VMHost | Select-Object Name,    @{n="MemGBFree"; e={$_.MemoryTotalGB - $_.MemoryUsageGB}} | Sort-Object -Property MemGBFree -Descending | Select -First 1
  

  The first would have produced something like:

  Name          CpuMhzFree
  ----          ----------
  myVMHost0          25384
  

  And the latter didn't would be out:

  Name           MemGBFree
  ----           ---------
  myVMHost4        122.323
  

  .. .or each of these host computers are those with the most free memory/CPU cluster, respectively.  What to do the things for which you are looking?

• Migration of virtual machines to vCD and again in a standard ESXi cluster itself?

  We currently have a relatively small cluster of ESXi (5.0.0 1489271) which uses a dedicated installation vCenter (5.0.0 1300600) and an instance of vCD (vCD 5.1.2.1068441).  Our goal is to move the virtual machines running in this configuration to our standard ESXi clusters (5.5.0 1892794) supported by installation of different vCenter (5.5.0 1891313).

  The instance of vCD seems to add additional parameters to the level of the virtual machine that prevents the VM of to be easily transferred out of the instance of vCD.  What we are looking for is a way to easily migrate these servers on and completely remove the vCD of the equation.  The only details around that we found cause downtime for exports out of vCD can be extended to reason the total amount of drive to the VM and VM level, which we really do not think it is an option to open a window of time to stop long enough to work through this process.

  Did someone went down this road before?  We have approximately 120 virtual machines in the cluster vCD using about 52 TB of disk.

  Maybe we're wrong understand something fundamental about the nature of migration of VMs on the vCD instance, but we have not been able to find many details on what options exist to make this move.  We have spoken several times with VMware support in this regard.  They mentioned a potential tool in the work within engineering migrate vCD to vCAC (which isn't really fall under our goal unless vCAC would then provide a clear path to return the virtual machines to a standard ESXi cluster).

  Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.

  I am a colleague of GTC and wanted to just sent to our discussion of this topic with the help of VMware.  Basically, we should be able to Setup VMs in vCenter, outside of vCloud Director, pointing them to the same files VMDK and MAC then power off VM vCD and power on VM vCenter.

  : The NASA-EAST region

  Moment of validation: 2014-09-05 11:32 EDT

  Severity of the request for assistance: 4 - low

  Description of the request for assistance: we are looking for ways simple and less disruptive migrate VMS off vCloud Director and vCenter management.

  We have the advantage of a single principle in vCloud, managed by a vCenter and the network configuration is simple with no VXLAN.

  What are the problems with the realization of the following?

  vCD 5.1 is managed by vCenter 5.0, the final result will move VMs in vCenter even

  -Create a new virtual machine in vCenter that points to the same vmdk files as virtual machine in vCD you want to migrate, allocate same configurations of processor, memory, and network (we do not use the vCD with advanced networking)

  -Turning off the virtual computer in vCD

  -Once the vCD WHAT VM is off, power on VM in vCenter

  We must ensure that the VM vCD never gets turned on again and then when we are completely finished with all migrations of VMS in vCenter we abandon vCD.

  Of course there are details to help users migrate to how they use the vCD to vSphere vCenter client web interface or web interface.

  Entry date: 04/09/2014

  Since the opening of the case, I had interviews with several members of VMware support staff and these additional points were added.

  -Configure vCenter VM with the same vNIC driver MAC and like vCD VM vNIC

  -Rename VMDK files to make for easier management, or if not renamed then detach from the propelled out of vCD VM

• Prices (not storage vmotion) vmotion, DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) features available in ESXi cluster?

  Prices (not storage vmotion) vmotion, DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) features available in ESXi cluster?

  I thought that ESXi is a correct free download?

  Yes and no. ESXi Hypervisor binaries are the same for all editions (free and paid). It depends only on the license key that you have what features are available and if you can add an instance of vCenter server host.

  If you just want to test vSphere, you can sign up for a free 60-day trial (no required license key) during this period, all the features of the 'Business Plus' edition are available.

• Stand-alone Microsoft en ESXi cluster?

  Señores,

  Consulta, tengo than present a proyecto donde want tener los servicios Exchange, in total 6 VMs son y me preguntan lo siguiente:

  Option 1: ESX, x-axis storage, 2 HA, vMotion etc...

  Option 2.2 ESXi, con Microsoft cluster. (6 cada ESXi virtual machines)

  SE supone than the option 2 the advantage that're avatar.3D.DVDSCR.XviD el shared storage is las licenses VMWare, pero nunca he created Microsoft en ESXi cluster, eso possible? good works? y los tienen experience, which would be los contras of the option 2?

  MUCHAS gracias por su ayuda.

  Saludos,

  JLF

  Hola JLF,

  Option 1:

  • Advantages: Dispones las caracteristicas HA y vMotion. Con una license essential MORE than permite 3 hosts + vCenter todo lo that need dispondras. SOLO have Québec usar 6 licenses for Microsoft Windows Server.

  • And/or: TIENE TIEMPO DE PARADA, that al is not a las-ser cluster UN VMs need that arrancar in another host desde cero.

  Option 2:

  • Advantages: TIEMPO DE PARADA ERO, are al ser a cluster estan causa x-axis cual are known estado is the TR algun host espera to hacer los recursos cargo has.

  • And/or: Para maquinas 6 en cada necesitaras host a total of 12 licenses Microsoft Windows Server ENTERPRISE data CENTER o, además las VMs in ESPERA have consumiendo recursos a espera of Quebec sean've o no una caida. Respond to the environment, having as optar por usar RDM tambien Mayor has the publicar los almacenamientos hora.

  Respecto what indexes del has storage of into account that en both soluciones ser shared, are only a comparte el storage cluster ha y VMware para poder hacer HA y tambien comparte storage vMotion, of hecho VMFS is considered a cluster ficheros sistema.

  If is pueden enabling una parada menor a 5 minutos optaria por the opcion approximately 1, is what is mas economica y knew operation will be bastante bueno. Por lo contrario, if no can divertir parada del servicio have Québec ir has the option 2 y mas perras in todo lo necessary price.

• How to create ESXi cluster or team two ESXi servers to avoid VMHA of HA?

  Hello world

  The scene is, I have two machines Dell 2950 and want to install ESXi U4 or ESXi 4 on both machines.  The requirement is that I have to install Windows 2 K 8 Server as guest and installing MS SQL Server inside on HOST1 (for example). This will be a production server.  Now I want the APP or database on this to be highly available.  I can mirror whatever say who's here to HOST1 on another machine HOST2 and keep it to fail the course in time REAL.  OR can I team or bonds or group these two hosts using local storage (data warehouses) and without the use of third-party storage (I can't afford VMHA, because it involves SAN and SAN or NAS in turn need fail on).

  In simple terms, the creation of ESXi cluster or team two ESXi servers to avoid VMHA of HA?

  TIA for all your contributions.

  Try Openfiler or FreeNas?

  Both will allow you to use the local storage on your ESX as an NFS share.

  Problem is that if your ESX host plant... you have a data store that is dead.

• Need a power-Cli report which shows pools of resources, including CPU, memory, reviews, DS, VM, VMDK files into a CSV file.

  Hi LucD

  I'm looking for a script more which is basically watch resources pools which s VM CPU, memory, comments, DS or files VMDK into a CSV file instead of the HTML resource pool file. Could you please help me on this.

  Your help would be very appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Try like this, it will produce 1 CSV file with all the information.

  $report = @)

• Need a clarification on the where the share of cpu/memory really matter

  Get these values to 'share' relative cpu/memory used by the layer host physical, right? and no layer of Resource Pool?

  In other words, each physical host is running, say, 20 virtual machines and of those 20 there are various actions assigned to virtual machines (some is 'High' of other 'Normal' and other 'Low') due to the fact that these 20 are divided into different Pools of resources and we have committed 'High', 'Normal' and 'Weak' to different Pools of resources.  What are reservations guaranteed with a particular resource Pool, if VM1 on VMHOST1 is 'High' actions and VM2 on this same VMHOST1 is 'Weak' actions then VM2 will spend more time in "CPU Ready" than VM1 land, right?  While the actions of cpu/memory can get configured at the level of the Resource Pool, it seems to me they are really IMPORTANT to the physical host level (they relate VMs on ESX host specific, NOT the Pool of resources that they are a part of).

  (my examples assume that all other things being equal, for example, that all VMs example are 1vCPU VMs)

  Why this matter for me, in case you care, is because I have a provision described here and using the examples that I used in this thread, I think to increase shares of the resource 'FinanceProduction' to 'High' list and the list of resources of the 'FinanceTest' to 'Normal' better ensures that VMS in those Resource Pools can actually make the cpu/memory reservations and limits that I have assigned to them.  We see essentially performance degrade as we grow, but they are not approaching their reservation of cpu/memory.

  REF: How to better make sure if there is a loser in a race to claim that it will always be a "non-prod" VM?

  This is apparently a common misconception about resource pools (which I fell too), that assign three pools with low, normal and high action would divide the resources available in accordance with these rules, but they do only if you have the same amount of VM in each resource pool, which tend to not be the case.

  Duncan Epping has written some good blog posts on it and yesterday posted a PowerShell script that should effectively deal with actions in your resource pools according to their content: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/24/custom-shares-on-a-resource-pools-scripted/ (links to his previous duties are on the text). It would be nice if Vmware could implement a way to achieve in vCenter without the use of scripts since for me it makes the most sense for the management of resources quick and easy.

• Limitation of the Virtual Machine's CPU/memory resources.

  Hello

  My question on the tab "resources" with VMachine settings (I hope I picked the right branch here)

  In this tab I put a booking/Limit for CPU/memory for current VMachine.

  I have a cluster about 6 ESX servers with resource by default and a VMachine inside pool. VMachine have 1 CPU. Each ESX have 2 plugs with 4 core per socket. Each base equal to 2, 83GHz. Def.

  In this case, which by default configuration for an average CPU for this VMachine limitaion - 132582 MHz? Because in practice ESX server can give only 1 CPU for this VMachine and this CPU will have 2, 83GHz only...

  Also, I put 100% of CPU - 132582 MHz booking here... But in true VMachine will never receive this resource...

  Same question about limitation of memory...

  When this limitation will work? For what porpose such booking/limitaion here?

  Re: But, if I'm going to make a mistake and this CPU for VM value reserve, which is more physical limitation - it reduces resources processor for other VMs on a value that is more than the physical limitation of the virtual computer?

  No, the reservation only guarantees that if a virtual machine wants to take a large part of the resource at a given time VMware should give him.  If there is ever going to be a situation where the virtual machine is in fact to consider that much so it never gets allocated to this virtual machine and the amount of the resource remains available for other virtual machines to use.  Similarly, if the virtual machine just does not use the amount of the booking to a point in time, he let this resource can be used by other virtual machines.

  If a virtual computer uses only 1 GHz on a core 3 GHz system, at a given time but thereservation is 2.5 GHz, 1.5 GHz between its use and booking that is not used at this time is available for other VMS to use.  That is only if there is a period of contention between VM and VM CPU wishing to use mean 2.8 GHz it would be guaranteed to get 2.5 GHz independently of the parameters of the actions on the VM from other virtual machines.

  It is essentially the same thing with memory except that the memory usage is not as CPU flunctuate and VMware must also use more complex methods to reallocate the memory, but the leaders of the way in which it is shared using actions, reservations and limit is the same.

• How is collected JVM parameters (CPU, memory, etc...)

  I read a lot of documents, and I'm still a little confused about how it works. How are the CPU, memory, etc. of the measurements taken on the JAVA virtual machine. Is there on the thresholds of the box set up and if so where can I find it. I don't know if I'm wrong or not, but on a system Linux, OS-Linux_System agent collect this data?

  JVM parameters are collected by the Java or JMX agents using JMX, both agents use this JVM mechanism to collect processor memory and thread information. Monitoring of the OS is usually collected by agents of the BONE (os-linux_system is inherited, Infrastructure Officer is the new mechanisms). The threasholds are set out of the box like registry variables (you can see their names included in the rules).

• Upgrade to Cisco ISE CPU/memory

  Hi all

  I have a Cisco ISE in Vmware environment and I need better cpu/memory in my political Service node.

  How can I do? Isn't that increase the memory/cpu in environment machine vmware?

  TKS.

  Rafael,

  This is what I highly recommend because it is not documented on what best practices are Cisco and with database of ISE is sensitve to the way that the hard drive are presented, I suggest strongly to nine in order to exclude any stability related issues (if you face them) in the future.
