• Get use of the resources of all virtual machines in a cluster

  Hello

  I have developed a measure of capacity management report that collects all the use of the resources of the virtual machines in a datacenter. The function that collects it looks like this:

  def hostMemoryConsumed =]

  def memoryConsumed = 0.0f

  def memoryGranted = 0.0f

  VMs. each() {}

  VM->

  try {}

  memoryConsumed += vm.host.memory.consumed.current.average / 1024.0f<----- how="" to="" do="" this="" to="" get="" from="">

  memoryGranted += vm.host.memory.capacity.current.average / 1024.0f

  }

  {} catch (NullPointerException e)

  }

  VMS is a function of type parameter VMS VMW

  The works above for virtual machines in the data center, but I need it to be after cluster. I can find a cluster of virtual machines, but I'm having trouble with referring to specific values for example consumed memory and capacity.

  If I change the type parameter: VMW Cluster how the metric reference would look like (see the try {})?

  I don't think that a query will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  If you want to do for a cluster, you can just get the list of virtual machines in a cluster of first and passing in your script.  If you have a function for a VMWCluster you can add a parameter for "vmwCluster" that is underneath and it should give you a table (topologyObjects) that has all the virtual machines in the cluster.

  QS = server.get ("QueryService") / / query Service

  tquery = qs.createStatement("!) (' VMWVirtualMachine where esxServer.parent.name = "+" ' "+ vmwCluster +" "" ") .setQueryTopologyObjects (true);

  topologyObjects = qs.executeStatement (tquery) .getTopologyObjects)

• Can I use the same windows on my virtual machine?

  I had windows pre-installed in my dell laptop (Latitude E6420). I did not have the cd key but I extracted using a program called Magical jelly bean key finder. Now, I have the following information on my windows installation

  Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

  Product no.: XXXXXXXX

  Installed from media "OEM."

  Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXX

  CD Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  Computer name: XXXXX

  Registered owner: XXXXX

  Registered organization: Microsoft
  Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
  I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

  Hi Andre,

  Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

  More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

  The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

  Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

• Issues FTP using the USB Dongle - solution?

  Hi guys,.
  
  I just got a (Vodafone UK) USB dongle and connect online in this way ok - the problem is that Dreamweaver doesn't seem to work with this mode of ftp transfer using a USB dongle.
  
  When I try to edit a page on a Web site, this page goes haywire and become full of gibberish along the lines of:
  
  «op§šdn.0 'Ö ' 0' $ai.k4tai < |'» # »... ETC. ETC........................."
  
  Any ideas why or how do to solve this problem?
  
  Thank you!
  
  

  Now, I found the solution. For reference:

  It seems to be a problem of Vodafone software. To overcome it, do not connect the internet using the shortcut of Vodafone, to place on your desktop, go to the windows start menu > Connect To > and select Vodafone Mobile Connect. If you connect this way, there seems to be no problem of ftp when using Dreamweaver.

• Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

  Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

  Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

  In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

  I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

• Access to the BlackBerry through the USB port on the virtual machine VMWare

  I have my development environment configuration in VMWare virtual machine, and I have no problems of deployment of BlackBerry applications on a simulator that runs as another virtual machine. The problem starts when I try deploying to the device via the USB port. The address is assigned when the mode of development on the device is not accessible from the VM, but only from my host, who do me any good, since as I said my IDE is in the virtual machine. A way to solve this problem? I can still deploy to the device via wi - fi (which is btw access via different ip - one given by the network) by this can sometimes be slow depending on the strength of the signal, etc, so I prefer to be able to deploy via the USB port.

  Just in case anyone has the same problem, how to activate must, VMWare Player click on the USB icon (to the right) and choose to disconnect from the host. Connecting the USB port at the prompt. Stupid...

• Is there a way to change the connection string to the database by using the command line on the virtual machine?

• Use of memory in the guest virtual machines

  Hello

  I don't have any background on VMware technology, but we are using a facility of dynamic cloud based on vCloud Director to the company where I work.

  The group that operates the server publishes the offer with a 'pay per use model"of service.

  This is true for the CPU resources, as we pay only what we use in the month. But in my opinion, it does not for the use of the RAM.

  We have Linux VMs that allocate a 4 GB of RAM 'physical' and our monthly bills show that the RAM usage is at 100% for all the month. But when you look at the tools of memory for the virtual machine, you can see that most of the time 50% or even less is used by the guest operating system process.

  This means from a user perspective the RAM price per month should be half of what we are responsible now. Ask operators on the 'question', we always get the answer that the use of the RAM is not dynamic and we need to pay for the use of 100% from the point of view of the server host.

  Could someone share some light on this subject? Is there really no way to make use of the dynamic RAM as the CPU usage?

  Thank you

  Michael

  Evening,

  As a service provider, I'll let you in on the secret:

  It depends on

  vCloud takes care of three models of default allocation.  Your provide may use other

  -Pay for what you use. -pay as you use

  -Allowance - you get resources, but can burst more

  -Booking - you get allocated resources and is

  Chargeback depends on model (in out of the box chargeback... your provider might have something custom)

  Pay as you use - charged on the basis of the resources used

  Allowance - remuneration based on allocation and additional for burst

  Allocate pay based on booking-

  There in the last two models really no way to load except full allowance (i.e. 100% cpu and RAM)

  Statement, I think you have something along the lines of the compensation you are using you mixed with a price system vendor.

  From my experience the resource more used in ESXi clusters in the RAM.  That's really what I buy in clusters of resource... I always need more RAM.  I need no more CPU. In addition, distribution of the CPU to vcloud is made via Ghz is not CPU.   RAM is allocated by GB.   So those set up and I think you suppliers is betting that they will always have to RAM so they charge based on usage not allocation.  While CPU, they have tons while they charge by usage.

  Really, it's just my thoughts... What can charge you on:

  -Ghz processor

  -GB of RAM

  -GB of storage

  How can recharge you:

  -Used

  -Allocated

  So bottom line... they can charge by opportunity they choose not too...

  It will be useful,

• Make a VM use a NIC and all other virtual machines use another?

  Hello, I'm trying to understand how do a virtual computer using a NETWORK card, while all my other reviews VMs share another. Having a hard time to identify ways to implement. Someone knows how to do this?

  I've attached a screenshot of how my network is currently configured, if that helps.

  Thank you

  C

  You can create another group of ports say "VM network 2" and set the grouping of NETWORK adapters active vmnic1 and vmnic0 standby (in front of your current setting). Then add this virtual machine to the network of computer virtual 2. This allows switching between the two network cards. If you want to have the assistance of a NETWORK card all the time, just put a active and other "unused" in a single port and opposite group in the other group, or at the level of the switch. Port group strategy note may substitute the switch level policy.

• Using fault tolerant instead of a virtual machine in standby

  Hi all

  I just read a little on the feet.  My company offers a SaaS solution to customers.  We are pretty well everything virtual.  For this simple example, I will say that we have a dedicated server set up for our application we offer to customers.  If something were to go wrong with the application or server (software, not hardware), we have a machine of relief that we can move to in an emergency.  This requires a manual switch, change the IPs, DNS change, change firewall policies, etc. etc.

  I was wondering if we could use FT to handle this.  I understand that FT does not detect a failure, because it of nothing wrong with the material, but is it possible to 'push a button' and start using the copy of the virtual machine?

  I also met HA tracking app.  However, it seems that this option restarts just the virtual machine, which is certainly not what we are looking for.  I may be wrong on the restart, however.

  Any other suggestions or information?

  Thank you!

  Yes, if you only use one vCPU it will work the way that you season - keep in mind the secondary VM is mirrored all that primary VM does if the cause is due to a change to data in the primary VM it will be mirrored in the seodnary VM

• CLI can be used to assign AD accounts to virtual machines

  Hi, I am interested in the possibility to use the CLI to assign accounts Active Directory for VMs. currently there are 10 virtual machines created from a template and there are 22:00. 1 AD account is assigned to each of the virtual machines. They are used for training purposes. Virtual machines are then removed and repeat the procedure. Is it possible that I can attribute the AD account name to a particular virtual machine using the command line?

  Thank you

  You can use the new-vipermission to assign permissions to a virtual machine.
