Simulation of hot air balloon...

I would like to help, it is possible to write a vbscript script that can create a load of memory on a server.

I know there is a script called cpubusy.vbs that can be used to generate the load of the processor on a server. Is there something equivalent for load of RAM that I can use for testing... I want to understand works 'memory balloning' when an ESX host is under memory pressure.

See you soon

Just create a dummy VM with a lot of memory and fixed reservation of memory to a level you want. This makes the memory not available for all other virtual machines and resembles the memory of heavy load.

    All my picture on my video file previews blankets have opted for coverage of the generic windows folder with balloons hot air on them. I have to open it with media player to know what is the file? How to bring back my preview? I tried to convert the format of files and checked my file associations that they seem to be fine.

    Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  • Equium L20 constantly out hot air

    Hello

    I've had my Equium L20 for about 2 years now and I am a little concerned about my vents on the left side of the laptop.
    He is constantly out hot air, - is this normal?
    Because I don't know that it is only used to make from time to time with huge blow the whistle

    Also I tried to open my laptop to clean the fan, but I couldn't open the back as there were so many screws to subscribe for each section

    Any suggestions or help?

    > It is constantly out hot air, - is this normal?
    Of course, it of normal. Internal devices like the CPU or GPU still produce a lot of heat and cooling modules and fan to cool the internal devices to prevent overheating of the material.

    If your laptop does not close automatically and not to overheat and then everything is ok and you should t be worried ;)

    That's right, in a BTX chassis, air is pulled the intake flange and evacuated by the back panel.
    Did you clean any buildup of dust from the fins of the cooler cooling and the front air intake, recently?

    I try to get hot to labour in the 9800 unsuccessfully Simulator code swap. All the online documentation says it should work and I saw the evidence that it works on the old JDK to http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Testing-and-Deployment/How-To-Use-Hot-Swap-with-the-BlackBerr... . Nice article... but it does not mention the eclipse plugin. I can't find "Simulator of reuse" check box on one of the eclipse debugging configuration forms!

    When I change my code and trying to debug a second time, I get the message "A BlackBerry debugging session is already active."

    I can run the Simulator 9800 ok, but it takes 10-15 minutes of startup: ^(et cela tue ma productivité.)

    Could someone rim give a clear statement or point me to a final resource stating if hotswap is supported on the eclipse plugin.

    Thank you

    I got it work after trying two additional things. I don't know which one solved the problem.

    1. I had an entry in my environment variable path pointing to a directory of 'bin' of the eclipse plugin that I deleted old.

    2. I did a complete new installation of the classic eclipse 3.5.2 1.1.2 BlackBerry plugin eclipse and plugin SDK 6.0.

    Don't know which of these things is switchable hot work.

    I still get traded an exception when the debugger attaches more switchable hot but if I click here my code gets hot and I am able to continue debugging on the 6.0 9800 Simulator so I'm a happy guy

  • Full hot air coming from the left side of the g6 Pavilion laptop

    I am concerned about the amount of heat coming out of my notebook, which is a HP Pavilion g6-1d11dx (id system ° 169 b).

    Are there problems of overheating with this model?

    If so, is there a recommended solution?

    My RAM gone bad, and I just replaced. I wonder if the failure was caused by excessive heat in the notebook.

    Thank you!

    Hey Paolino66,

    The only real way to test the temperature with an accuracy of 100% is in the system BIOS. The problem is that the BIOS barely uses all resources and does not generate a lot of heat so that your not getting a reading on temperatures while the laptop is actually used. Most of the BIOS settings are programmed to stop the laptop if the temperature reached 100 degrees Celsius. This is commonly called the TJMAX. Safe temperatures would be anything below 85 degrees Celsius. If you're just clear navigation, edition you text temperatures should not go more than 30 to 60 degrees, but things like game can cause additional heat emitting GPU and RAM and increase the overall temperature of your laptop.

    Temperature monitoring: It is here that third-party applications come into play. Personally, I use CPU - Z and Speccy. Generally, these programs are designed to read the temperatures of the BIOS directly and are fairly accurate. I have never had a false report with any third-party application then I guess that Defraggler would be just as accurate.

    Service: Yes, the steps are their own little maze and can be very overwhelming. I directed you to page 73 because it is where you will find links to each page you go to return the material properly. There are many return back and jump around, but the bonus is media format PDF pages link in the document itself, if its easy enough to stay on the right track.

    I'm not on the road, we'll see more design changes that make things easier for the maintenance of laptops, but for now it is what it is. The computer keeps track of your temperatures every few seconds and is designed to stop when the temperature reaches the TJMAX to avoid damaging the product. I'm totally agree with you about the changes made to facilitate the service, but unfortunately I don't have that kind of relationship with the product engineers that allows me to make suggestions in this respect. If you wish, you can still use the vibration function of customer on the HP Web site to provide your insight directly to HP where it will be forwarded to the appropriate channels. Here you will find the contact page: connect with HP.

    Hope this helps.

  • Explain the balloon in my scenario

    Hello

    Can you guys explain values associated with memory, I know that we have documentation, but it is difficult to digest. (Seescreenshot)

    I have a virtual machine with 2 vCPU and 4 GB of vRAM

    I put resources on the memory limit to 1 024 MB and after that I got the following error "memory usage high ball for UPIDSDWebTest has been replaced by mistake (previous state: warning).

    Then I changed the limit to 3 GB. Do not see the error, but still hot-air balloon.

    In other words, what is the purpose of limitation?

    In other words, what is the purpose of limitation?

    An example: consider your boss wants to have a VM for his own use with 16 GB of memory. You assign 16 GB memory (this is what the guest operating system will see) but limit to 2 GB memory (because you know that it will not need 16 GB anyway)

    Seriously, I don't see a case of actual use for the memory limits. What I think is an environment where users are charged for the use of the memory physics, but need option to increase dynamically without downtime for the virtual machine (that is, the virtual machine does not support hot-add memory).

  • Balloon question

    I'm trying to understand in detail how the balloon pilot really works.

    My previous understanding was the object of the balloon pilot is a way for the hypervisor ro retrieve the memory of guests when memory is overused and fear - it's because guests have no another way to 'give' memory to the hypervisor, or hypervisor knows, and therefore no way, to the memory of relaim according to the needs of the guests.

    Another my understanding, which I am now starting to question, is that this ball always causes the customer to the page (using its internal pagination techniques).  Also, everyone I talk to the same thing, said balloon = pagination in comments.  Really?  What makes me question this is the difference between consumption and and memory active .  Still serves as memory consumed by the virtual machine - in other words, even if it is not active, is not yet been recovered by the hyervisor, so the hypervisor cannot give her other guests.  So my question is: is the typical work of the balloon to reclaim consumed memory (which does not affect the virtual machine) and then active memory (which can cause paging), or does always go after the active memory?

    My reasoning of thought balloon goes after consumed memory and therefore does not always imply the pagination in the comments until we need to get the memory active , is the following excerpt from VMware:

    Thoughts? Am I overthinking this?

    Thank you

    Not quite.  The balloon pilot aims to politely ask guests to give back a percentage preset (default 65%) of unreserved memory (memory - reserved memory limit).  It is usually memory on the free list of the guest.  If the memory is actually free, that there is no impact to the guest - he may never used memory sitting on its free list anyway.

    If the memory is not free but is active, this will cause an impact on the guest.  For example, if you the ball in areas of MS SQL, SQL predefined buffer detects this and evacuated its caches, including its query cache.  For Java applications, you might end up taking the memory it uses for its performance of garbage collection and kill.

    Hot air balloon must be handled properly.  Done wrong, you kill you and take memory which can cause requests for comments slow down or crash (Linux OOM-kills is a known side effect).  Fact properly and you free up idle resources and give them to customers who actually need them allowing you to postpone or eliminate the purchase of memory possible.

  • Memory ESX balloon - help!

    Hello

    We have a cluster VMware ESX 3.5 U2 4 running node (32 GB RAM each blad hp Server)).

    We suffer memory ballooning on VMs that appear on the performance of ESX tab. On the cluster, we have 91 'memory resrvation used' and 26 Go 'without reserve the memory"

    Also on the summary of each ESX box tab shows there is a lot of cpu and memory of reserve (40% of free memory)

    I checked each individaul VM and ensured that in the 'resources' tab memory limit is set to 'unlimited', however I know that there is no reason the VMS should ball?

    Here is the production of virtual machines, I have a support call with VMware, but are much longer towards the front. Any help greatly appreciated

    I deliver some VMware courses and resources management is the most difficult to teach, but also the most difficult to learn. Here is my proposal on why you have hot air balloon and permutation.

    Please keep in mind that the summary is for the cluster. Each virtual machine runs explicitly on a single host.

    I think you initially said that 91 GB are reserved (ie. it is guaranteed at the DIMM space for the virtual machine with shelveset, and it won't apply to other virtual machines), leaving 26 GB without reservation. And now you have suggested some virtual machines have no reserve. The virtual machine with no reservation can be used only as 26 GB without reservation. And if a large part of this unqualified 26 GB is on the host only 'good' then the other grains hosts lack probably without reserve RAM and have ball (and later swap) to meet the demands of their guest VM memory.

  • Extremely high after upgrade to Firefox 12 memory usage

    After I've upgraded to Firefox 12, I started frequently affected by hot air balloon Firefox memory usage extremely high (2-3 GB after a few minutes of navigation) light. Sometimes it will fall back down to a more reasonable level (a few hundreds of MB), sometimes it crashes (probably trying to garbage collect everything), and sometimes it crashes. Usually the thread crash cannot be determined, but when it's possible, it's in the garbage collection code ( https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/repor.../list?signature=js%3A%3Agc%3A%3AMarkChildren%28JSTracer * %2 js C + % 3A % 3Atypes % 3A % 3ATypeObject * 29% ).

    I managed to capture a subject: report memory when Firefox had about 1.5 GB and have attached an image.

    A couple of things I've tried. I have a lot of tabs open (although don't load it the tabs until the selected option is enabled), so I copied my profile, all kept my extensions enabled, but all my tabs closed. I then left an open page http://news.google.com/ and it worked very well for several days, while my original profile goes down several times a day.

    I also tried to disable most of my extensions, leaving the following extensions that I refuse to sail without:

    Adblock more
    BetterPrivacy
    NoScript
    PasswordMaker
    Views
    Priv3

    However, the problem still happens in this case.

    Don't know if this helps or not. I'm looking forward to trying Firefox 13 when it comes out.

    Never knew what was causing the problem, but have disappeared since the upgrade to Firefox 13, accidents and memory pathological use.

    Hello


    I found a solution for this problem on the 64-bit windows 7!

    I changed and added a few keys in the registry to fix this thing to preview:
    IN REGEDIT:
    _ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
    where I had only 2 keys inside the shellex.
    _I watched inside the shellex mpeg (because mpeg would generate good thumbnails):
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
    where he had 3 keys
    _SO what I tried was to copy these 3 key and replace my key shellex .mov with those 3.
    That's what you can do:
    -Open regedit
    -Click on: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
    then export it (this will be your backup in case this does not work, or mess you something you'll just have to click on it to install it again.
    Then,
    -remove the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\"KEY.
    -Open Notepad
    -Paste the following text in your Notepad file:
    -don't paste this line-
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{3D1975AF-0FC3-463d-8965-4DC6B5A840F4]}

    -don't paste this line-

    -Save as whatevername.reg (remember to use 'all files' kind of file type.)
    -Double-click on the file reg saves you just you just saved, it will be to reinstal the shellex inside the key of .mov here:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov
    with the right keys and stuff.
    -Close regedit
    -Open a folder that contains your. MOV, refresh the file several times to be sure, it should work.
