• Impossible to allocate additional processors (virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4)

  Dear team,

  I want to devote 8 vcpu to one of the virtual machine, but it gives following error

  "Virtual Machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  want to know the weather, that it depends on the os under license or guest vm

  

  Hello

  It is the restriction of license. 4-way vSMP is the right thing, you stressed in your screenshot.

  If you upgrade your server and license to vSphere 5, you can allocate 8 vCPU with Standard license and 32 vCPU with your license of the company!

• Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4... ?

  Hello

  My setup is a VSphere cluster with 4 guests each with:

  E5450 3.00 Ghz Dual Xeon Quad & 32 GB of Ram.

  I run a number of virtual machines, mainly Windows 2003 Server Enterprise. Most of them is running on 2 or 4 virtual processors.

  I tried to create a new virtual machine with virtual cpu 6 or 8 and 16 GB of ram. When I tried to turn on the virtual machine, I got the message below:

  Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the OS, etc...

  Now, I checked my licenses and they are for each host that I have:

  Company of VSphere 4. 1-6 cores per processor. 2 cpu by assigned host.

  Thus, it cannot be a problem with the license...

  Any ideas?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  The Enterprise Plus edition is required for vSMP 8 channels.  You can check in the vSphere editions comparison.  The Enterprise edition will be limited to 4 vCPUs.

  The 6 cores per processor refers to the ESX host itself and directly relate to the SMP virtual machine.

  Good luck!

• Server has 80 logical processors, but I can only use 8 cores for a virtual machine

  We have a host of ESXi 4.1 with four 10 processors and we want to give a VM 20 vCPUs for a test, but I can choose only 2 virtual Sockets with 4 cores per socket or 1 virtual socket with 8 cores. What is the maximum I can do? I'll attach screenshots so you can see what I'm looking at.

  With vSphere 4.1 eight-way virtual SMP is the maximum that you can configure with the Enterprise Plus license. With vSphere 5.1 the maximum has been increased to 64 channels for businesses more (32 channels for the company).

• A question about the virtual processors in the prompt

  Dear Sir

  I have a general question about the number of virtual processors in the guest system.

  I use VMware ESXi 4.0.

  Say if my physical host has only 2 cups carrots (with or without HT should be the same), then is - it true that I can only attribute 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?

  Is it possible to give 4, 8 virtual processors in virtual machines?

  In my drop down menu I can NOT choose more than 2 virtual processors per virtual machine, I want to just make sure that it is not the problem of license.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Nanfang,

  So the general rule is the number of vcpus don't CAN NEVER exceed the number of physical processors. Is this correct?

  Replace "physical cpu" by "physical cores" and you are right, because a vCPU is mapped to a kernel. For example, you can assign 4 vCPU with a Quad-Core processor.

  If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you would be able to map 2 vCPU to the base, the vCPUs had to wait for them all the time because the physical kernel can simply perform an action at a time, why you would decrease the performance of your virtual machine by setting 2 vCPUs.

  It is not changed in vSphere 5.

• Adding a virtual processor for a host ESX 4 UP1

  Hi - I built a SLES10SP3/OES2SP2 guest and now know that she could really benefit from a second processor.  Simply change the '1' to '2' is not recommended - not to mention that it does not add a processor according to the operating system.  I've seen several articles dealing with the change in the number of virtual processors, but none seems to be right on the target.  Seems more talk about reducing the number of processors, talking about the Windows VM, etc..

  Can someone tell me the correct procedure to follow - if it is still possible to do!  The physical server is a physical processor 1 HP ML350 G6 which indicates 4 x 2,266 GHz processors cores in the vSphere client.  8 logical processors. Xeon E5520.  I use vShere 4 Enterprise Plus.  The use of CPU resources as is currently around 10% used on the horizontal bar to 1143 MHz chart.  From time to time, it stings at 2400 MHz. The capacity is 4 x 2.266 GHz.

  There are 11 active VMs (SLES, 2003 and Netware) running in a pool with the default settings of the Pool.  There's a VMs additional 4 in the same pool currently shutdown.

  If it works, I want to do on 2003 server as well.

  FYI - I also built a SLES10SP2 server from scratch with 2 virtual processors and operating system takes advantage of them.

  Thank you vey,

  In general, you should try to work with as less as possible processors. However, you can add more, if you need.

  The VMware point of view that is easy, just change vCPU th enumber.

  Depending on the guest operating system and the kernel/HAL used, you need to change this one a multiprocessor.

• Error message: «the virtual network on the host computer drivers are incompatible...» »

  Just bought a new computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

  I installed VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130.

  I copied on a machine virtual from the old computer (running Windows XP Pro and VMWare Workstation 5.0.0 build 13124). I improved this VM Workstation 6.5. This virtual machine is currently running Windows XP Pro.

  When I run the virtual machine on the new computer, I get the following error message:

  "The virtual network on the host computer drivers are incompatible with the installed application of VMWare. Version expected 5. Please reinstall the product. Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected. »

  Note that the virtual machine runs; I don't have any network capacity.

  I read the thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/186731, who seems to have the same problem. He had installed 6.5 on 5.5; When he uninstalled and deleted all of the directories, and then reinstalled everything went well.

  I don't have any product VMware existing on the computer that would cause this type of conflict.

  So, what should I try to fix this?

  Thank you

  If you want to install only vmnetadapter, open cmd as admin in vmware workstation dir and run;

  "rundll32 setupapi, InstallHinfSection VMnetAdapter1.Install 128% CD%\netadapter.inf"

  You can also repeat for vmnetadapter8.

  If it does not run as above

  "vnetlib - install devices.

• Comments see host on the network, but the host does not see comments

  Hi all

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro as host and have XP as a guest.  I set up a new virtual network (as I saw in another post here) and made sure both host and guest get correct IP addresses.

  The guest can ping on the host, but the host cannot ping the prompt.  I even moved the new VM adapter above the other ones on the host and which still got nothing.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

• The host only network

  Hello

  I have 3 networks 'hosting only' configured as follows:

  VMnet1 192.168.102.0 255.255.255.0

  VMnet7 192.168.107.0 255.255.255.0

  VMnet9 192.168.109.0 255.255.255.0

  My problem is machines on these networks cannot communicate with each other. After looking through the FAQ, I have all "hosted only" networks were able to communicate with each other. Is there a configuration more what can I do to make this work?

  Sorry for asking such a stupid question, I'm pretty new to VM.

  Kind regards

  Thomas

  These three networks is isolated from each other. You can place all the VMs that need to communicate in one of the networks of the host only. If you need to communicate through two networks, you can use two network adapters, which are connected to each specific network or use on virtual machine as a gateway to the other.

• Virtual ODBC to the host

  Player Version 5, hosted under Vista, under WinXP SP3

  I have a MySQL database running on the host of Vista that I want to connect from within the virtual operating system using ODBC.

  I can connect to a database running on an external server on the local network, but I can't find a way to connect to the database on the host computer.

  All suggestions will be welcome.

  Welcome to the community - because you can connect to an external host I'd be willing to bet the question with the Vista Firewall blocks connectivity.

• Virtual LAN with guests and the host only

  Hello

  I have a win server 2008 r2 host and a couple of virtual machines.

  I want to create a VLAN that contains the host and guest of the virtual machine. I intend to host the domain controller.

  I put the network connection from the guest to "host-only '.

  Then I tried ping between the guest and the host. Ping fails. "request time out" @host and "destination host unreachable'@guest.

  Firewall is turned off on both.

  What could be the problem? Is there another way to reach my goal?

  Kind regards

  Dembele.

  Did you stop the firewall service, or you have turned off the firewall? Stopping the service does not work.

  In any case, take a look at for example example 4 in the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947709/en-us for how to configure ICMP (ping) settings.

• Error al licenciar esx 3.5, virtual center of the host y

  Hola

  I have 2 esx 3.5 servidores y Virtual Centre of the United Nations.

  In each of esx, Guerra el .lic (single host) he is ok, appears as licenciado (es standard esx).

  Instalo UN virtual center y al instalar doy el fichero .lic Québec he generated in the web of vmware (centralized).

  VOY a cada esx y pongo ip del Centre virtual donde pone 'use license server', me dice algo asi como no hay to licenses validad if the doy tr o no, the digo if, pero no licenciado appears.

  He desinstaldo y vuelto a instalar el servidor of licenses, releido el archivo .lic... no hay manera.

  También al of ido he virtual center a "administration", he marcado "change host...". ', Center Management Server virtual y ahi, pero nada. If Quebec me appears ahi al dar al oton "administration", then b has the 'licenses' las features pestana y en 'virtual center foundation manager' in 'cost' pone server 1, remaining pone cero, y pone total 1.

  El host appears como desconectado al anadirlo al virtual Center try not there as none is can por las licenses.

  Saludos

  If el otro no you already licenciar lo're porque el vCenter no tiene fired para asignarle. Of how many CPUs are you fired? How many has released there? How many you is? ESTOS datos los puedes ver en el servidor of licenses y con the utility of licenses.

  We must PD.

• Sharing network of Windows 7 64-bit problem: other machines may very well write, but the readings are extremely slow.

  I tried to access to the shared both directory a Vista and XP machine via cable connections and wireless to my Win 7 64 bit machine on the part and it is extremely slow to read, but not written.  Not only the directory never takes show all thumbnails, and then open a file that is a couple mb in size as a photo takes more than a minute.  However, if I try to write the same file sharing, it takes only 5 seconds.  This fine all worked until I went from the version release candidate for the final version a few weeks ago.  Shared directories exist on another partition for the relocation does not have their effect.

  Maybe it helps diagnose the problem... I just make a copy of a picture of 4 MB on the part of win 7 on my win xp desktop and it took about 1 minute.  I renamed the file on my desktop and tried to write to the share and it took 5 seconds .  Now, it's strange.  So, this is the bed that would take forever.  The Scriptures are fine, which also explains why my nightly backups on the part of win7 are very good.

  I have a machine to hit the share by using the name of the computer and the other using the ip address.  Both show the same problem...

  I also tried to access files using a mapped network drive.

  I can take a 4 MB file and just copy it on my local desktop and it takes about a full minute.  However, written the same file or even another file of the same size as the part only takes about 5 seconds.

  I ran the Windows 7 network troublshooter last night and used the troubleshooter for incoming connections and he says that it found a problem but that he could not fix and he really had nothing to help me.  But I think he sent the information in Microsoft... not sure.  Next time, I'm at home, I'll run again and try to put all the gross results that I could not understand in this thread.

  I've also updated my driver for the network card and redone permissions and actions several times.  The only thing that I can also say that something can highlight, it is that when I was using the RC of windows 7, I don't have this problem at all.  It was my first installation of Windows 7.  I reinstalled from the final version and all of these files already exist on another partition on the same drive.  I just had to move my public and directories user space on the D: partition and share everything.  Maybe the new facility with something on the existing structures of the file works well with the new facility of the former?  But this does not explain why a new directory and file that create displays the same behavior.  I'm thinking out loud a bit to see if it helps that anyone think that anything...

  I thought about it!

  At least for me, it was a setting in the Advanced tab of the network adapter.  I have a Realtek Gigabit network card and one of the places must have been missed incorrectly.

  I changed the 2 following settings to "disabled", and he immediately started working very well.

  Disabled IPv4 Checksum Offload
  People with disabilities large send Offload (IPv4)

  I have a suspicion that among recent updates of Microsoft for this driver he missed bad... but it was this or the latest driver from Realtek.

  Update:

  In other research I have narrowed it down to make it just the Large Send Offload value.  Is located on "activated" whenever I update the driver Realtek to the latest version.  If I then go and set it to "Disabled", everything works fine.
