Target ball and ball over Active on the host with a lot of free memory

Just at the moment where I think I understand the management of the ESX memory, something confuses me once again.  My understanding of the balloon pilot, is that when an ESX host has need of more memory to be allocated to other virtual machines as the VMKernel steals memory back from the virtual computer running.  However, I have a virtual machine which seems to indicate that the target of ball is well above what is memory 'Active', and the host ESX virtual machine running on a 6 GB of unused memory.  I think that this might have led this virtual machine to go into a State of forgetfulness once already, because I found it does not, only to discover that she used only 30% of CPU and 2 GB Active out of 6 GB of memory allocated, but making a ton of swap memory.  What gives?

Why in the world of the balloon pilot would target memory on a VM running busy, when there is a lot of free memory available on the host, and why would be a beginning of comments Exchange when it uses only a fraction of the memory allocated to it and the host is sitting on the free memory pletty?  None of my other virtual machines have memory usage charts that look like this.

This can happen even in the absence of resource pools. Check your settings of VM, "resources" tab and make sure that the unlimited checkbox that she checked on the memory and CPU...

    When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly.  I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

    Hello

    1 during how long have you had the problem?
    2. don't you make changes to your computer before the problem?

    I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
    Method 2:
     
    Step 1:
     
    Make SFC scan and check if this is related to missing or damaged system files.
     
    Step 2:
     
    After the SFC scan, set the file association and check.

    Method 3:

    Test the issue in a new user account .

  • Can we use Office default memory offline if the customer does not have enough free memory?

    Can we use Office default memory offline if the customer does not have enough free memory?

    Yes. We can use the parameter offlineDesktopDefaultMemoryScaleupValue jointly with the offlineDesktopReportedHostMemoryValue parameter in the registry.

    For example, if your client system has 2 GB of memory and the desktop view is configured to require 2 GB of memory, you won't be able to check the desktop view because low memory is also necessary for visualization of hosted customer.

    Use the parameter DesktopReportedHostMemoryValue = 2048 registry offline, so that you can go to the desktop and use the registry parameter offlineDesktopDefaultMemoryScaleupValue = 1024.

    so that the desktop view uses only 1 GB of memory when run locally.

    Reg patch: HKCU\Software\VMware, Inc. \VMware VDM\Client\disableOfflineDesktopMemoryScaleup

    Note: If it's a small environment you can do manual. Or we can simplify this activity by creating a group policy.

    Hi Feraud,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that the remote desktop connection is blocked on the target computer.

    I will certainly help you with this issue.

    Here are some methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus from Symantec and check.

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Change the listening port for remote desktop and check.

  • A Wi - Fi and 3G connection active at the same time?

    Maybe this is a stupid question.  I noticed at work today, my WiFi and 3G are both active at the same time.  For all I know, the WiFi is working and not a false indication as I sometimes get at home.  In addition, my 3G indicator shows and seems to be moving a lot of data.

    As I have already noticed, I usually have one or the other, unless he is changing course, or WiFi is falling out or something.

    Any ideas on that?

    Thanks for the help.

  • Target is disconnected, but my goal is the host, I'm

    I just started using NI Veristand today, and I was trying to interface a Simulink model compiled into a LABview signal producing VI. I did the two files compatible with NI Veristand.

  • Is it possible to choose between different targets (different configurations NI 6587) FPGA through the host VI

    Hello

    I use card FPGA 7966R with Module of e/s 6587. I have two sets of screws FPGA, one that uses 6587 mode series (Serdi channel) and the other in parallel mode (Serdi connector). I'm trying to select one of the FPGA VIs via the host VI and I don't know if it's possible.

    Some things to note:

    • All IOs have the same names, FIFO has the same data type and name.
    • Because they use the IO 6587 controller in a different configuration, I can't parallelize them and combine them into a single VI.

    Looks like you have currently not iSCSI installation program.  The option - install option assumes iSCSI is already running.   You simply install the software.

    Setup.pl - configure - bestpractices - server = hostname [-username = username]
