• How to find what vNIC uses this Teddy bear on ESX 4

  So I remember in ESX 3 you can use "esxtop network" and find what a vNIC VMs has been mapped to as uplink but in ESX 4 it looks different.  I have searched for the answer and can't find it anywhere.

  So here's the situation:

  I have a Dell M610 blade which has 2 x pNICs, 1 x vSwitch and multiple groups of ports.

  How can I find this Teddy bear traffic for my individual virtual machines use?

  Thank you!

  You are talking about "esxtop" and then hit "n" in esxtop?

  This will show you what vnic uses each vm and then the host configuration you can see what Teddy is mapped to the vnic.

• Difference between vi3 and vc - sdk (visdk400) performance counters

  I found two links when searching for the CPU performance counters:

  1. http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/cpu_counters.html

  2 http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/cpu.html

  http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/cpu_counters.html [http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/cpu.html: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/cpu.html]

  As I understand it, the first is for vSphere 4.0, ESX 4.0 and vCenter 4.0 and the second is for the previous version, when it was called VMWare Infrastructure 3. Is this good?

  I don't think you understand how to navigate the API reference page, the counter of 'performance' information available in each of the versions of the API, depending on the version, you'll see different counters, be they new or obsolete. You can also tell by looking at the URL

  for example

  visdk25pubs = VI 2.5

  visdk400pubs = vSphere 4.0

  visdk41pubs = vSphere 4.1

  The specific page that you are referring only lists the CPU performance counters, there is definitely more than that.

  Here's the exact URL to all 3 API listing the performance counters:

  VI 2.5 - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html

  vSphere 4.0 - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html

  vSphere 4.1 - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/index.html

  To access performance indicators (for example, I'll use vSphere 4.1) you will go through the following:

  1) go to this address - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/index.html

  2) click on managed object Types in the left pane

  3) click on the box in the middle that says "ServiceContent.

  4) scroll down and click on the link PerformanceManager

  (5) you should be taken to the page linked above with all perf counters performance

  It really helps to understand the object model of VI/vSphere to cross, here's a great blog by VMware used on the object model - http://www.doublecloud.org/2010/02/object-model-of-vmware-vsphere-api-a-big-picture-in-2-minutes/

  Hope it makes sense

• How to call dll com APIs that range from the performance counters of less than 1 ms with CVI and always get less timer resolution of 1 ms

  Hello

  I've created a dll com in VC ++ using performance counters/timers to less than a millisecond.

  This is useful when you send a message to very high speed. (say 10 or more)

  This is done by the dll.

  When I use CVI to create a user interface, this dll runs at a fixed rate of 1ms.

  This slows down the application.

  I tried to use the same dll with VC ++ host and it works well.

  I need to check the registry setting to see if the useDefaultTimer is set to false or TRUE.

  (I'm not near the development PC) However, by default, it should be FALSE and I have no fidle with it.

  Veuileez post any suggestions you might have.

  Thank you!

  This problem is now solved for me.

  Just the highest thread priority in the dll.

  Thank you if you had the answer.

• ThinApped Firefox 11 slow network performance

  Hi all

  We have thinapped firefox 11 with thinapp version 4.7. However, we have serious network performance problems when using firefox. In the thinapp firefox on speedtest.net, we get 1000ms ping ~10mb/s download and 3 MB/s in upload.

  On the native IE9, we get 100 ms ping ~95mb/s 39 MB/s in upload and download.

  At first I thought it was a sandbox problem, as we have our sandbox in %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto that is redirected to a network drive. I changed this option to use the current directory of the thinapp, but this made no difference. I also tried to add the "DisableRegistryTransaction = 1" option, but it also made no difference.

  The ThinApp was captured on a clean XP VM and I test it on our version of W7. I tried this on our XP build legacy and receive the same results.

  Does anyone else have this problem? And are there any suggestions? For the moment, we are looking to put firefox in our basic build or delivery through SCCM.

• Very slow network performance

  I have a Dell T610 running ESXi 4 with a pair of built in maps network gigabit Broadcom BCM 5709, to which I've also added a gigabit dual port Intel 82576 NIC they are all plug a Cisco 3560 24 ports switch. There are a couple of virtual machines on this computer and there was near zero, a network, or activity of the CPU during the following tests as they were made during off-peak hours.

  I noticed a few updates takes a long time to download and, after completed and restarting the virtual machines, I decided to perform a speed test that indicates the very slow network performance. But the performance is slower on one NETWORK card to another. Reduce the ports available to virtual machines on a single NETWORK card, that's what I got.

  Using Speedtest.net as a gauge running on a dedicated XP Guest:

  The Broadcom and Intel befriended 5Mbps showed and sometimes 10 Mbps.

  Only Broadcom showed between 13-18Mbps from one trial to another.

  Intel showed only 4-5 Mbps. never more than 5 Mbps!

  Physical work stations connected to the same switch showed 45Mbps repeatedly!

  All ports were originally configured as auto negotiate. I tried locking time ESXi and the Cisco switch to 1 GB Full duplex with no significant difference in the overall performance.

  Has anyone seen this? Have you found a solution?

  I got a similar promblem - found that the VM - NIC has been set at the 'flexible' type and VM-Ware tools were not properly installed.

  As I was not able to install (linux, no gcc), I've removed the NETWORK card and put in again as an adapter 'e1000 '. From here, I had transferrates as expected ;-)

  I hope this helps...

• "The specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password", trying to connect to a remote drive.

  Original title: the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password.__To to connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

  I am trying to connect to a remote drive. I clicked to map the drive, entered the name of the drive, came the name of login/password for the computer turns on and then it give me this error message: the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

  In Windows 7 Enterprise, I would like to point out that, if you map \\server1\share1 as drive letter X using "user1" and "password1", then try to map \\server1\share2 (a different share) as drive letter Y using the same ID "User1" and "password1" and you select 'connect using different credentials' in the dialog box connect a network drive and specify the id "User1" and "password1". you will get this error MESSAGE INCORRECT that says 'the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password'.

  The message is bad because:

  1. the specified network (action2 in my example) folder is not mapped at all, and

  2. the server (in my example, "server1") is already mapped (to a different and different drive letter share) using the SAME user name and password.

  The error message is wrong in two respects.

  This let me puzzled for a while until I realized that once you have mapped to 'Server1' using the credentials, you can map to different actions on the same server without re - specify the credentials.  It is NOT CLEARLY the 'Map network drives' dialog box, which leads to users (like me, and I'm a programmer by trade) trying to enter credentials again and this incorrect error message.

  Original title: readyboost

  Hello

  'ram 2 GB'

  You have too much RAM for Readyboost work effectively.

  ReadyBoost is designed for machines that have between 500 MB - 1 GB RAM

  The physical RAM you have installed, less you will notice an improvement using Readyboost.

  This is a very good tutorial on how to configure Readyboost:

  I got this message when trying to access a laptop on my home network. It's a laptop which came for years. The only change that occurred was the removal of a few videos to Windows Media Player. In fact, I was sitting near the laptop (laptop 1) that stores the video & audio files that I share on my network for years and an additional (cell 2) laptop computer on my network. I was simply remove a playlist via WMP and I witnessed portable 2 lose access to files I had shared for years with my home network. I don't even use WMP, I had just open trying to access the laptop 1 video/audio files to my PS3 system. I was clear an old list of video of WMP so I could add the extra avi files to the list that I had collected over the years. I wanted to not double many videos so I removed the videos in WMP list. Since then, I'm not able to share anything of my laptop 1 to the rest of my network. I did not like WMP before, now I really despise WMP. When I try to share a folder, right click, share with & click on homegroup (read/write), the option is not selected. Any solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

• Only the Server 2008 machines, poor network performance

  The environment contains 2 x IBM x 3650 servers. The virtual machines that all have two 8 GB of RAM and 4 vCPUs allocated. ESXi 5.1 build 1065491

  
  The network consists of about 40 machines Windows 7 (physical) and 2 servers (ESXi VMs) who are Server 2008 Std ed (one is a SBS 2008 but they are the same "under the hood"). The network is a gigabit w / D-Link switches. It started with me investigating slow network speeds.

  I use iperf to nail down what is happening. It appears when a Win 7 machine is writing data to SMB in 2008 virtual machine, it works fine. But when the W 2008 Server VM tries to write data to SMB in the Win 7 (physical or virtual) machine, I got hurt. Difficulty is the very sporadic network speed jumps between 1 MB/s to 60 MB/s. On average, I'd be lucky to hit 20 to 30 Mbps which isn't even 50% of the gigabit network util.

  At first I thought that the problem may be with the ESXi config so I gave a whole new Windows 7 VM on the same hypervisor which houses the two 2008 VMs server and re-ran the test - when I run a test of my workstation (physical) to the VM 7 Win, it works very well (90 to 100 MB/s both ways). If - Win 7 seems to be good, but both the VM Server 2008 I've got exposed the slow download issue.

  So far, I did the following on Server 2008 VMs:

  • Replace the E1000 w / VMXNET3 NIC
  • Dissolved the 802.3ad aggregation of links to the ESXi servers
  • Make sure that energy saving is off
  • Disable Offload TCP segmentation
  • Uninstalled the AV in case the problem was some kind of antivirus real-time analysis
  • Place the virtual machine on the other x 3650 - the question of speed follows the virtual machine.

  I can't think what to try next. Any advice or ideas welcome.

  Here are the results of a test my W7 desktop for Server 2008 VM: http://pastebin.com/dGZKwxAr

  Now the same test of my W7 desktop to and a W7 VM on the same ESXi host: http://pastebin.com/fugjCvjx

  I did an upgrade on the spot of one of the virtual machines 2008 2008 R2 server and it solved the problem. I'm getting 100 + Mbps in both directions of Win 7 clients now. I think I'll do the same thing to the other server.
