Up-to-date documentation on the use of the CPU and memory

Hi all

I'd like to get the latest information on the operation of management and CPU memory in esx 3.5, I have not looked at the product for a few years but read recall some excellent articles

Someone can point me in the direction of some good technical articles on memory like the blimp and transparent page sharing in addition to the planning of the CPU

Thank you very much

    I have a Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 4 GB of memory. Windows Media Player.exe supports my CPU 100% usage and it is striking all my memory - 4 GB.   It started right after I set up a homegroup.

    I had to go into Admin/service and change the Startup Type to disabled for:

    • Windows Media Center Receiver Service
    • The window media services planning service
    • Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    I tried setting services to manual, but Windows Media Player has yet caught all the CPU and memory, he could then I disabled all the.

    I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.

    Hello

    I think this explains the problem.  The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.

    C:\Users\Rick

    C:\

    To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove.  When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.

  • Dash for the CPU and memory in the custom user interface

    I need a custom dashboard,

    where I will get all the vm in widget and when I select a vm on the widget side it should show % CPU, % memory usage or a latency of disk all in one metric graph.

    Can someone help me?

    Of course, you need to do is to create a resource interaction file, and then assign this file to a Sparkline widget or graphic metric. Interactions will be "selected resources" widget list VM for the reception of graphic style widget. See the information here:

  • Script to set the CPU and memory for VMS

    Hi all

    We have an environment with 100's of virtual machines. We have classified these VMs, and each category will have specific vMem and vCPU. Excel / csv spreadsheet has the list of virtual machines, as well as the values of vCPU and vMem. I'm looking for a script that can set the values of vCPU and vMem for virtual machines according to the directives of the excel sheet. If anyone can help with this?

    Thank you very much

    Try this.  I took the function of hotadd from here:

    http://ICT-freak.nl/2009/10/05/PowerCLI-EnableDisable-the-VM-hot-add-features/

    I tested against 1 VM and it works well.  It will make a loop and power all VM power off in parallel, then it will change all.  Then turn on all at the same time.  If you do not parallel you can change it.

    I would like to test in your lab or against 1-2 not prod the first VM.

  • Restrict the user admin reserveing VM the processor and memory on VM


    Hi team,

    Need your help. We have the cluster on which vm admin a permisstion to create the virtual machine. We limit so that they cannot create CPU & memory, booking on VMs.We have permisstion created at the level of the cluster. Please advice

    See the Documentation for virtual vSphere on Computer Configuration here: Library of vSphere 5.5 - Virtual Machine Configuration

    According to the document, the name of privilege 'virtual machine. Configuration.Change resources' allows you to change the configuration of a set of nodes of virtual machine resources in a given resource pool.

    You can edit or create a new role that disable this privilege.

    Clone the existing role assigned to the administrator of the virtual machine, and then change the cloned role.

    On the privilege, go to the virtual machine > Configuration > uncheck the resource of change

    Go to host & clusters, change the role of admin of vm of existing role to the new (cloned role) who does not have access to the resources for change.

    Now the vm admin not able to set up reserves, limit or actions on both the CPU and memory - but the user should always be able to change the number of vCPU or the size of the memory.

  • script to check my current reserves of CPU and memory on the service console

    Hello

    I'm looking for a script to check that reserve is currently, we are running out of problems with vRanger connection, just need to make sure we have all the cpu and memory to the correct value.

    found a few scripts to change, that we guys do you use?

    The script required PowerShell v2.

    Try this if you use PowerShell v1.

  • Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

    Hello.

    I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

    I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the community,

    Booking of resources being completely transparent for the customer, i.e. a host function, there is no need to turn off the virtual machines. Basically all settings in are available to be changed in the editable GUI generally without interruption of service comments.

  • Find a VM (from the data store, file, the pool and etc..) ID name

    Hello:

    I wonder if there is a way to find the virtual computer (of esx, the data store, file, the pool and etc..) ID name of vSphere CLI power.

    The goal is to find the virtual if name machine ID if known (and the same for esx datastore, record pool and etc..).

    Thank you

    Olegarr

    Hello

    According to my understanding, we can get the managed object ID of the virtual machines,

    $serv = connect-VIServer-Server

    Write-Output $vm. ID

    The same with others, like first Get-VMHost, store in a variable and then the variable. ID gives you the code.

    I hope this helps.

  • High utilization of the processor and memory virtualized vCenter 6.0

    Hi community

    When I upgraded my physical servers, they told me that virtuelise the vCenter server was recommended by Vmware.

    so that we did it, but since I think that when I connect to my vCenter with RDP sessions, the server was slooooow...

    then I watched the Führer in there and he uses 97-99% of the CPU and 99% of the memory, I spent 8 GB of memory, 2 CPU.

    I have my SQL DB on the same server running as a SQL Express 2014. windows server is trodden updated and so are the vCenter.

    After a while of google, I found this post, but don't relate to 6.0.
