Weird question on which the machine virtual ESX 3.5i

Hello world

I have a question very very weird on 2 x HP DL380 G5 boxes with ESX 3.5i U3 loaded on each.

The installation program:

DL380 G5

2 x Quad core

2 x 72 GB Raid 1 + 0

6 x 146 GB Raid5

32 GB OF RAM

I installed esx 3.5i u3 according to the normal, created vm. But when I copy data to a network in the virtual machine folder spikes the cpu and the virtual machine does not respond. What makes it worse, is if I copy a large file on the c: to another folder on c: VM does not - high cpu and ping meets about 200ms. vmdk bones all over the 72 GB Raid 1 + 0 datastore. When I add a data from the store of raid5 data drive the same phenomenon occurs. If I copy the c to this drive on the raid 5 data store the virtual machine gets does not and pings hover at about 200ms.

Any ideas?

I have no idea why this is happening, Ive deployed the same configuration with a bunch of vm and no problem.

I don't think its network since you said that you have the same problem copy from c: to c: on the same machine.

Looks like the machine is waiting for e/s finish. Check if you can see if I/O is blocked somewhere

Are there messages in the system log of Windows indicating disk problems?

Check your RAID controller. It is on the HCL?

Your write cache is configured correctly?

  • "the machine virtual source is not recognized" using VMWare Converter stand-alone 4.01

    All,

    Shadow protect IT edition allows us to create backups of image files from our servers. We need the ability to convert files Shadow protect (SPF) in VMWare Server 2.x. files about half of our servers do not convert. We get a message that says: "the machine virtual source is not recognized. What gives? I know image backups are fine because I tested.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    vmnoob

    We support only a few specific versions of ShadowProtect.

    > StorageCraft ShadowProtect 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2

    There may be additional restrictions when you attempt to use these types of files, such as the following from the Manual:

    1. dynamic disks are not supported.

    2. all the images in the backup of a machine must be in a single folder, without other images placed there.

    3. for incremental images, so 16 incremental backups are supported.

    4. images of systems with logical drives are not supported if the logical drive is also a system or an active volume

    5. for volume-based cloning, all volumes on the disk until the active devices and the system must be saved.

    5.1 for example, if a drive has four partitions, 1 to 4, with the partition as the active volume 2 and partition 3 as long as the system volume, the backup must include 1 to 3 partitions. (ShadowProtect only).

    Thank you

    Please, once you connect to the application server Peoplesoft VM with psadm2, run the following:

    env|grep LANG
    

    And post the result.

    LANG should be C, if this isn't your side follow these steps:

    export LANG=C
    

    And re-start the Appserver field.
    To keep consistency during the startup of the server, add the line in the psadm2 user .bash_profile.

    Changed the .bash_profile or any other initialization file? Because everything should be fine by default.

    Nicolas.

  • How to leave machine machine virtual ESX v3.5 for Vsphere v4.1?

    Hello

    I would like our VMS ESX v3.5 to a new VShere v4.1.

    Virtual machines are Windows 2003, RedHat 4 and 5.

    I wouldn't have any impact on the machine esource th.

    Methods:

    (1) stop the virtual machines, copy the folder with vmdk from the old data to the new store data + Start new store + install the new VmWare Tols

    OR

    (2) use the Option migrate (change the host + Datastore), works for the RedtHat Machines

    Thanks for the reply

    Welcome to the Forums - both will work but I use cold migrate method change of host and the data store.

  • Difference between the workstation and the machines virtual ESXi?

    Apart from convert vmdk of thin thickness oversupply, what exactly does the download feature in WS 8 and later versions do, vs, simply by making a copy + paste of the virtual machine to the machine running Workstation in the ESXi data store?

    Besides, why Upload even converts vmdk of thin thickness providing? You can create native thin disks configured in ESXi is not as if ESXi does not support the feature...

    VMware Workstation is not (cannot) use a provisioning. The hard format is a fragmented file format that contains metadata about the blocks of data used in the file itself. This format is not supported with ESXi, and this is why it must be converted.

  • Do I have to stop the machine virtual RAM and CPU?

  • SQL 2005 Ent on machine virtual ESX 3.5

    I built a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise VM inside VMware (ESX Server 3.5 Update 3) host. We have Celerra NS20 Unifided EMC storage, which is where the server VM using different LUN. Does anyone have recommendations on installation of SQL 2005 Enterprise on a given server to Win2k3 VM, with regard to the way in which it must be installed in order to get the best performance and reliability... I'm looking for suggestions as SQL must be installed on the drive main hard and stored on a different LUN or SQL databases must be installed on a different LUN of the operating system? I intend setting up a LUN specifically for newspapers, so to keep separated from traffic, but wonder about the base installation of SQL and databases...

    Thanks for any advise you might have.

    It is a big question.  Here are a few things I do in this case...

    • Do not install anything - even the binary SQL on C

    • Prune/use a VMFS RAID5 for the SQL programs and databases on a volume

    • Want/use a VMFS RAID1 for newspapers

    There are 2 important things here.  One is that you have isolated the OS - DB and registers all logical drives different worms.  It is very nice to be able to make a hot grow of these disks

    The other is more for performance.  It depends on how transactional (how'RE Ops / s) the system will be.  In most cases, you should be able to have the other VM to share these same volumes, but changing the RAID level can provide a performance gain based on how the data are accessible.

    I don't know if it would be necessary to isolate a VMFS LUNS () set to the SQL database for a virtual machine.  It is a function of your SAN infrastructure and how hard the VM SQL is hit.

    We have several virtual machines with DB on the same LUN, and so far it hasn't appeared to cause problems.  You can always start with a more conservative approach and slowly add that you feel comfortable.

  • From machines virtual ESX 3.5 to 4.0 help

    I need to move virtual machines that reside on a box of ESX 3.5 and put on a case of ESX 4.0 currently.  Virtual machines live on the network so SAN is just as easy to move files to a SAN to another?   Or is it also a process of upgrading involved?    Thanks for the help.

    If you just move the virtual machines to another host SAN and ESX 4 they will run. However, it would be nicer if also upgrade you the hardware of the VMS to version 7 and also upgrade the VMware tools. Do not forget that after upgrading hardware to virtual machines to version 7, you will not be able to bring back the virtual machines on an ESX 3.5 host.

  • How to operate the machine virtual de Workstation9 on ESXi5

    Hi guys

    I installed RHEL5.6 in a virtual Workstation 9 machine & run this VM on ESXi5.

    on workstation9, I tried to export to the OVF... and after that on ESXi5 I tried to deploy OVF one-piece... but it gives me error:

    vmx-09.jpg

    So what could do to run this VM on ESXi5, or any other way to do this? any suggestions would be fun.

    Thank you

    Virtual hardware version 9 is supported only by ESXi 5.1. The best way to fix this is to downgrade virtual compatibility mode for the virtual machine in VMware Workstation before exporting the virtual machine to the FVO.
