• The host VMware workstation and multi-core CPU

  Apologies if this has already been answered, but all my research to turn questions about processors how can specify in a virtual machine. It's not what I'm after here.

  I want to know is the use of VMware workstation (v6 and v7) is available on a multi-core worksation host physical cores.

  I have a scenario where we have several virtual machines containing sensitive coding environments. The material that they are on is a little old and we don't have the time or the knowledge to recreate systems (a combination of Matlab, DSpace and some custom coding). Our only option (and we did it for a couple with success so far) is to create virtual machines of these workstations.

  Which is absolutely essential for us is the material we choose VMs on host. Virtual machines will use simple/double/processors virtual.

  In order to choose the correct hardware platform, I need to know if VMware workstation is running an instance of the virtual computer within a single processor (in this case is the reduced performace?), or if there are multithreaded and make the most of the hardware it will run on.

  (We are not welcome, never more 2 virtual machines at the same time)

  Any suggestions on material would be appreciated also. I think of something based around a core of Xeon 4-6 with 12-16 GB of RAM.

  Thank you very much

  Correct, for laboratory/debugging and interaction VM Workstation is pretty good.

• VMware vSphere: optimize and [5.5] course is worth doing or not advice to scale

  Hi all

  Need some advice, as I am preparing to take the exam of the VCAP-DCA 5.5 in April.

  Will makes VMware vSphere: optimize and adapt training aid [5.5] or would be using the DCA official study guide book suffice?

  Just take peoples opinons, before I decide to spend money on the course.

  Thank you all very much.

  JIT

  Personally, I think that if you have below you don't take it out not before, then follow the course (unless you miss the VCP and the requirement of course)

  1 watch the video of Pluralsight VCP and VCAP

  2 buy the VCAP-DCA-5 study study guide bonus ebook on the VMware press - practical site reviews includes in the book

  3. go on the official and unofficial study guide CLI guide study

  4. do you have a host laboratory and practice and practice and make sure you only go on all the (MOST important) action plan.

  Enjoy autolab

  5. If you really need to take the course... you can do the lab connect version of the course which is $ 300 to $ 500.

  If the course if the company paid for the course, and he is not from your Pocket then of course the course.  But your hard-earned income is better spend in

  buy yourself gear lab, subscription VMUG and VMware books.

• VMware workstation 8 and visualization

  Hi all

  I just downloaded the trail for vmware workstation 8 and wanted to try the option of viewing with one of my virtual machines created.  I read that now, this option is only for modern processor. my processor is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 which has the set of instructions VT - x visualisation. When I enable the option for my virtual machine I get the following error message "Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT requires the support of Intel VT-x/EPT platform" I have this option enabled in my BIOS and have one of the most up-to-date versions of the BIOS for my motherboard.

  It of just my CPU not supported by vmware or is there some kind in order to get this to work with my setup?

  Thank you

  My computer specs:

  Windows 7 pro SP1

  Intel Core 2 Quad [email protected]

  4 GB of ram

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  GeForce 8800 GTX 512 MB

  The Core 2 processors have no support of EFA.  It takes EPT to virtualize VT - x.

• VMware certified design and Installation

  Hello

  We are installing our ESX environment. A total of 20 ESX servers on both sites. We have hired a consulting firm to help us with the design and implementation of the portions as well regarding cross training purpuses. I took the course of Fasttrak VM and have passed my VCP.

  Now we have a second firm that wants to "certify VMware" our design and install it. I think what they aer full of it... But is it fair to make sure such a thing of VMware Certified Installation or design or anything remotely close to this?

  Your opinions are appreciated.

  VMware offers a class of plan design that offer the way to VMware, to a design - also themselves and through VMware consultants approved offers a number of commitments of short style that will analyze your design - but by one of these that he don't is not something "VMware certified" design as far as I know - in terms of VMware certification has just announced a new certification above the VCP called VMware Certified Design Expert - but they are always roll the pieces that will allow someone receiving this cert.

• the clients VMware CPU and CPU cores

  Hello

  I'm looking a bit and I know that for the physical esx host you can get information about the cpu and carrots.

  When I check the same for vmware customers, I only get the info from the cpu. For License audit of needs and so on it would be useful that this info could be separated as follows:

  Get - VM | Select Name, NumvCPUs

  Does anyone have a suggestion?

• VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

  At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

  1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
  2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
  3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
  4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

  I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

  1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
  3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
  4. Restart comments

  A few quick thoughts:

  1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

  2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  See you soon,.

• Display with VMware Workstation 9 and Enterprise of Windows 8 comments bug

  Hello

  I just installed VMware Workstation 9.

  I created and installed a VM of Windows 8 Enterprise comments.

  Everything works fine, except that when I go to the Windows 8 settings via bar charm (not via the desktop...), the display setting menu is occasionally screwed up!

  This problem appeared just after I installed the VMware Tools in the guest OS. Before that, there was no display problem. Believe me, I've taken care of that by testing entirely.

  My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is an Intel Core i7 870 (4 cores) and I have 8 GB of memory. My graphics card is an AMD ATI 5850 with the latest drivers.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  PS: This is not one type of bug in time. I can repeat this every time I have to create a virtual machine Windows 8 Enterprise comments. The problem was also there with VMware Workstation 8. My guess is that VMware tools are buggy, at least with certain type of graphics compared to Windows 8...

• comparison of physical CPU and vCPU cores

  Hello

  I'm an admin of VMWare and recently asked by a customer in our Cloud Computing environment to add an extra vCPU to one of their virtual machines so that it aligned the physical counterpart that they had migrated away from more.  The physical version had 2 processors quad core (clocked at 1.4 Ghz) and the virtual version has now 2 vCPUs (The ESXI host a 2.4 Ghz CPU).  Since then, I've been asked how to compare the two and I am struggling to explain their project...

  The user connects to the physical computer and run the Task Manager and sees the 8 cores working away

  It then records in the virtual machine and see the two processors working away.  You can say that he thinks that the performance piling in ESXi...

  How to compare the two scenarios and how can I explain that is comparable in an ESXi environment - and is it really comparable?

  The way I see it, adding a second processor on the virtual computer which means provide 2 physical processors on the host are available, instructions can be performed on them by the customer, which means that 2 at the same time.

  On the physical server, the 8 cores can be used simultaeously then, how this can never be comparable?

  Or I have this completely wrong?  Performance and the remains has never been my strong point!

  Advice or answers on the above would be welcome

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Each vCPU is mapped to a logical processor, which is a physical on your host system kernel if you do not have active Hyperthreading.

  I don't like the physical to virtual comparison, but of course I know my clients.

  In most cases, the physical resources have never been effectively used, as the operating system or application running on the top was not able to use the 8 cores of the two processors for example four hearts in your example.

  So most of the time you can get the same performance with only 1 or 2 vCPUs after moving to virtualization.

  If you want to know more you can read the resource management Guide: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-501-resource-management-guide.pdf

• VmWare Workstation 8 and no 64-bit support

  First of all. I'm sorry for my bad English.

  My hardware:

  ASUS Sabertooth X 58 Mainboard

  Intel Core i7 950 CPU

  12 GB of Ram

  Under a Windows 7 Ultimate (latest patches installed)

  In the Bios is VT ENABELT

  My problem is that since a little day invited VMware Server as me as my PC dosnt support 64-Bit operating system.

  Follow them Info box introduce yourself a way:

  Virtualization software is Incompatible with the long Mode on this platform, the virtual machine will not be able to run 64-bit code.

  So I have a w2k8 R2 on my server and it runns fine until the error message.

  I hope you can help me quickly while im doing certificate MCITP training and Certification tests in 4 weeks and I neet training

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Sorry if I post in the wrong Thread.

  There are a few days ago a user had problems with 64-bit VM too well that VT has been activated. Perhaps the cause (and the resolution/workaround) are the same.

  According to Re: comments 8 and 64-bit Workstation bits in the vmware.log indicate that VT - x is turned on.

  So maybe jmattson workaround provided in the mentioned discussion can help.

• Looking at virtualization in order to improve the availability and growth of the company

  Good day to all,

  I work in an archives in the Caribbean and at the present time, we have 5 different servers (some convert office systems and some are old tower servers). We are looking to Virtualization as a good solution to improve our availability and make sure that we have the resources when the business grows. To our current size we might add a new server every 6 months or a year according to our which of our services, we decide to push.

  Now, we set a tender for virtualization package, but we're going for the cheapest option we have to charge us at least 1.7 times the actual cost of materials (outdated processors incidentally), software and which include installation services and do they offer support of sale/implementation and all support us would need they have made it clear that if we have any questions we will deal with VMware directly. Now with this in mind my manager asked me to see if we can purhcase the software and our own configuration matΘrielle and the infrasturture.

  I already use a vmare for desktop software and I have a fair idea of how this works. I know that vsphere approach can be very different, but as it says no guts no glory... no no pain no gain.

  At the present time, the budget I have is $25, 000USD for the hardware (2 servers + managed 24port switch san +) and vmware software.

  I've been watching vmare 3.5 and vmware sphere not too sure which one will be a better option to go with. (which would be better in the long term) We definitely want the package with vmotion :).

  What I really need advice on is hardware wise?

  The server costs $107.00 Usd 4 each... which comes up to $214.00 far 8. I know that 3 servers would be the best configuration... but I can only afford 2 for now, unless I can get it for 25 k usd.

  Now, I've never used one before SAN... so I was talking to dell equallogic guys and their small unit is 24 000 usd what way out of my budget)... What SAN that I can use that would not as expensive that you guys would recommend.

  Also what management network switches would you guys recommend?

  I know that my company is small, but we have snack Mininal need time to a server falls down and also power of servers to quickly install for testing software.

  I hope you guys here can look me in the right direction.

  Archiving?  Looks like you need a lot of disk space?  A Dell MD3000i is within your budget, but he has a limit of 45 to on growth.

• VMotion between single core and dual core

  I have 2 Dell PE 6850's and according to the table of vmotion for cpu dell, they are compatible. But now the question is is there a problem if one of the servers has 4 core processors and the other has 4 duel procs and HA works correctly?

  If the processors are compatible vmotion, then you will be fine.  ESX is NUMA aware, so that he knows the difference between a core and a CPU socket and the implications of the memory of the two.

• LabVIEW RT time loops and logical cores

  The RT 1 stage indicates that you should only use a single timed loop for each CPU whose computer if you want that the loop to be deterministic. When you use a computer with processor containing multiple logical cores within a single processor, can you have a loop timed for all logical cores with them while being deterministic and guaranteed to run at the time?

  If we take the example of a processor like the Core i7 which has a processor but 4 'real' nuclei and an additional 4 via Hyperthreading...

  First, disable Hyperthreading because they don't are NOT actual carrots and won't benefit from the execution of RT.

  The other 4 hearts everything will work loops just as if they were 4 separate processors.

  I don't understand how you can have multiple processors, but one heart, it normally is the opposite, a single CPU (physical processor) to multiple cores (processing units) separate.  The terminology varies, however.
