VMW Virtual Machine CPU Utilization - script

Similar Questions

• ESXi and virtual machine CPU cores

  The question I would ask is the ESXi processor cores and relationship of the virtual machine CPU. Is it recommended to assign some carrots to VM (this is assuming that the VM needs CPU extra for reasons of performance)? We will use the following example. If the host ESXi lies the VM has 40 cores of the processor is recommended to assign carrots in 2, 4, 8 format to the virtual machine? And that's okay assign 6 since 40 is not divisible by 6.

  jrmunday: when it comes to carrots vs sockets, they are there for purpioses licenses, other than one vcpu is a vcpu

  soda: each kernel is a vcpu, so you should not worry of the underlying hardware and the divisibbility... It is not a mathematical formula to be used on the basis of underlying archatecture. the only reason underlying archatecutre would be important is VCA differences, not the underlying differences.

• High using the Virtuakbox virtual machine CPU load

  I have a MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz processor dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz) with 3 MB L3 cache.

  I use VMware Fusion Pro 7.0.1 (2235595) to install and use Windows 8 to run the Simulator on my MacBook internetworking solution.

  These simulators come with Oracle VM VirtualBox and they used to run in the Windows virtual machine on my MacBook Pro with no problems.

  So far, no problem!

  However, after upgrading to OS X Yosmite 10.10.1 simulators no longer work due to the high utilization of the processor by VBoxHeadless.exe

  I deleted the virtual machine, I uninstalled VMware Fusion and reinstalled, then reinstalled the Windows operating system, makes all the possible update and finally installed solutions simulators without success to have any Simulator market, they used. The reason is always high utilization of the processor by VBoxHeadless.exe as seen in the following images:

  

  I then moved to bootcamp and all do it again. Now simulators all run as before but on windows on the bootcamp partition.  Now I can even run a lot of devices in simulators like in the following photos with no problems:

  

  

  Please, do you know how I can fix this problem? I prefer to use VMware fusion because it gives me more room for what I want to achieve compared to the bootcamp.

  There is a difference between the hosts with regard to the information provided by windows on the ability of the virtualization of the MacBook.

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Kind regards

  Please note that the forum is not taken in formal charge and that this is a forum where users help other users.

  Your problem unfortunately was not something that other people recognized as a problem they had seen or they simply didn't have the time to answer.

  The majority of the Fusion users will not also have installed VirtualBox.

  However, I am glad to hear that you found a solution (in a restaurant) and please let us know.

• How to delete a virtual machine in a script

  
  Hello

  I want to delete a virtual machine with a VCO script, I wouldn't use the action item named destroyVM. I explain why I wouldn't use, because in my script, I do this action:

  1. I list all VM in a specific folder name is different date servername-today ' today and powered OFF.

  2. I would destroy each VM in the list.

  But when I would simply test the following command:

  System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm").destroyVm ("VMName");

  I get the following error message:

  TypeError: Cannot read property "runtime" undefined (name of the dynamic Script Module: destroyVm #52993)

  I search on google and VMware blog, I can't find anything to help me!

  If someone has an idea, you are welcomed to answer me.

  Thank you in advance

  Good day

  Best regards

  Hello

  If you have access to vm.name or vm.runtime, you can access the vmobject.

  Therefore, you don't have to search again. I'm confused...

  (1.) what is folderObject?

  2.) check your if condition. It is not '&' what you want, but «&»

  (3.) getAllVMsMatchingRegexp() returns an array of vmobjects, not a single vmobject. VM names are NOT unique.

  Maybe a small example can help:

  var vmArray = VcPlugin.getAllVirtualMachines();
  for (var vmIndex in vmArray)
  {
      if ((vmArray[vmIndex].runtime.powerState == VcVirtualMachinePowerState.poweredOff) && (vmArray[vmIndex].name == "SCT-Test-01_12_2013"))
      {
          System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm").destroyVm(vmArray[vmIndex]);
      }
  }
  

• Alert - the virtual machine CPU usage

  A virtual computer that is running Windows 2000 reports almost every day an alert on "use of the processor of the virtual machine.

  According to my knowledge, add a CPU to a Windows 2000 Server is not easy as with recent versions of Windows, is correct?

  The 5.0 ESXi host is not CPU ovrloaded, so I don't think that adding a CPU reservation can change anything...

  So, what is the best way to solve the problem with the minimum impact on the VM guwest?

  Marius

  Hello

  because they describe your problem, read the following article:

  and if you still want to add a vCPU, read this MS KB article:

• The virtual machine CPU is running high

  I have a few virtual machines that use clients running very high on the CPU. Virtual machines are in a resource pool that has 200 000 mhz allocated with expandable reservation. Is it possible to give these machines more CPU cycles?

  It doesn't sound like you are running in contention in this pool - if you have limits on the RP move them - one vCPU only working with unique pool - so if your base speed is 2950 and you use all cycles of the only way is to add an another vCPU

• Exclude certain virtual machines of rules.

  Hello

  I would like to exclude some machines virtual (QA, development), of the rules that come with the cartridge of VMware... The rules are:

  1 VMW Virtual Machine CPU Utilization

  2. use of virtual MEMORY Machine VMW

  3. time fill VMW Machine virtual Logial Drive estimated

  4. logical drive using Virtual Machine VMW

  For number 1, I modified the scope of this rule´s: VMWVirtualMachineHostCPUs

  to do this:

  VMWVirtualMachineHostCPUs where name does not match' [D | d | e |] E | s | S | a | [A]. *' and the name does not match "[q |]" a | Q | A].*'

  For the number two is very similar and works well.

  However for numbers 3 and 4 I am because the virtual machine is not in the type of topology properties.

  So my question is: can I attach topologies in the scope? "I mean, something like (this is just an example) VMVirtualMachine where name does not match ' [D | d | e |] E | s | S | a | [A]. *' and the name does not match "[q |]" a | Q | [A]. *' and VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk

  Thanks for any help.

  Michael.

  All these objects that are in the scope of these rules have virtualMachine as a property.

  You could do something like:

  VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where virtualMachine.name does not match' [D | d | e |] E | s | S | a | A].*'

• Need to adjust/reconfiure/tune resouces of cluster of virtual machines by entry into xls file

  Hi all

  I need to adjust the resources of the cluster of virtual machines by entry in the xls file, the files are

  VCPU configured, recommended vCPU virtual machine, CPU requires memory (%), memory configured, Recommended recommended

  for example, the values are:-

  Virtual machine	VCPU configured	VCPU recommended	CPU application Recommended (%)	Memory configured	Memory recommended
  ABC	10 vCPUs	4 vCPUs	77%	40 GB	16 GB

  Then I have to stop the virtual machines and then adjust the values, and then bring the virtual machine. Can someone help me a script for this.

  Make sure that your csv file format is attached.

• Alarm, based on the State of the virtual machine

  Hello

  I just started to evaluate the vFoglight to monitor our infrastructure VMware and so far, I really like the product, but there are a lot of things to take.

  Y at - it a predefined alarm that will enhance and alert and send me an email if a virtual machine crashes or goes offline? The default rule "VMW Virtual Machine power status change" will do that?  I feel that this will tell me if the virtual computer is shut down or restarted, but could not workout if it marked the top if a virtual machine has frozen or crashed.

  In the past I did using the base "no heartbeat Mike" in vsphere.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  Dan

  Hi Dan,.

  The Virtual Machine VMW power state change will do as below:

  Goal
  This rule triggers an alarm if a virtual machine has been suspended or powered down recently.

  The rule definition
  Conditions                                                                                           State   Action
  The virtual machine was not suspended or updates turned off recently.     Normal no
  The virtual machine has been suspended recently.                               No warning
  The virtual machine has been powered down recently.                                Reviews email VMware admin

  Maybe you can add, action of e-mail to the severity of the warning from the rule.

• compare the value of loan to a virtual machine: vRops vs. vCenter

  Hello

  during the analysis of the values of a virtual machine cpu, I noticed value "ready" is not too much to skip between vCenter and a report of vRops.

  After watching a few reports more it turns out that the value of ready in the vRops report appear to be much higher than in vCenter.

  I made two screenshots that should tell more than any explanation.

  I misread the values? Any ideas?

• Stop/start multiple virtual machines with names created automatically

  Hi all

  in my test environment, I want to stop or start multiple virtual machines via the script.

  Their name is always like this:

  'vm-100-qa', 'vm-101-qa","vm-100-qa","vm-102-qa '...

  Now I would like to just stop every VM 'vm-140-QA' to 'vm-160-qa.

  I created a table "$a = 140.160", but I don't know how to implement this in a script 'Shutdown-VMGuest-comments '.... »

  Sorry for this stupid question. I am a beginner absolute powershell.

  Thank you very much in advance,

• Virtual machine network adapter is not visible

  Hello

  I complaint customer that they are not able to get the connectivity, then I checked in troubleshooting vm and not founded then is no network adapter in this machine special vm,

  Please suggest what will be the root for this cause.

  Kind regards

  RAS

  Hello

  I believe that VM used to have a network card installed once?

  You can think of your VMS from hardening. By default, each user who has remote access to the VM can eject the NETWORK card using the windows function to eject removable devices. It's what could have happened to your customer.

  To avoid this problem, you can add several custom in the vmx file settings. To avoid removing the devices that it would be

  isolation.device.connectable.disable = "true"
  isolation.device.edit.disable = "true"
  

  for example. But there's more.

  Please see the guide to hardening vSphere 5.0: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-19605

  and this tutorial interesting by William on explaining how to strengthen your virtual machines automatically through scripts in vCenter: http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/07/automatically-securing-virtual-machines-using-a-vcenter-alarm.html

• Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely

  Hi all

  I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:

  $a = Get - VM | %{
  
  foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
  Write-output $nic. IPAddress
  }
  }
  foreach ($i in $a)
  {$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
  $b.delete)

  }

  It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject.  Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.

  I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way.  Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.

  Thank you very much!

  To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:

  «del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»

  Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:

  "del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"
