What do you use for deploying Windows 7 64-bit Ent regarding vCPU and RAM in your environment?

Hi guys,.

In my environment, we are currently running Windows 7 Ent 64-bit with 2 x vCPU and 2.5 GB of RAM.

Everything is working fine, but recently I just got a free health check of Xangati and would like to know if there is something I could do to improve the environment.

Essentially according to the results of the audit, I learned that I could be more indicer CPU and RAM on my desk from view.

My host is running 16 x 2.599 GHz CPU, and according to the report once I hit the hard desk with activities (CPU maxed out at 100% for about 15 minutes), it is said that the "CPU usage" hypervisor uses only 1.9 GHz top.

This means that a 1 x vCPU is more than enough to handle our daily tasks, so I went down there to 1 vCPU and test it hard once again by Windows Update.

Even if the use of the "processor" said again that I didn't not max at 2.599 but use the Windows processor is maxed out.

For me, it's like doing an update of windows on 1 vCPU is slower than when I used 2 vCPU but according to numbers, it shouldn't.

It was the same exact situation with the RAM.

If I look in the Windows Task Manager, Windows RAM was maxed out almost when I was doing tests, but on the side of the hypervisor, it says I'm only averaging about 1.7 GB.

So now I'm not sure what matrix that I should go. The windows or on the side hyper-visiere? Haha.

If I followed the hyper-visiere, I get scared when their desktop view is slow, the user could come to me and ask for additional resources, because that's what they see in the Task Manager.

It will be hard to convince them not to worry about what the Task Manager shows.

Note: I have no problem with the data since all desktop computers store is located in the FusionIO card.

Anyway, just want to see it as the Deputy there to use when they have configured their Windows 7 operating system.

Are you visiting x 2 vCPU and 2 or 3 GB of RAM? Or you would follow instead indicating you the numbers of the hypervisor?

What would you do?

Thank you guys!

I feel that it is something that must be determined on a case by case.    We started with 1 vCPU which works great for 95% of our users.    We have others that require more resources while they were transferred in a different pool with additional resources.    In addition, we found that 1 vCPU works well for most everything except the video.   If you want to play a lot of video you can test with 2 vCPU and see if that works better.

In the end, it's all about what your user comments and should dictate.   You don't want to shake your users of the resources, because that will lead to the decline in performance and the bad perception but also be careful not to approve because they will lead to poor performance and a bad perception.    Once people get a negative perception of the environment, it is difficult to cross.

  • What should I use for a replacement of WinMail in Windows.

    What should I use for a replacement from WinMail in Windows 7 when requires it a number of sites to meet an address or a link that the site offers an answer or a question.  I have msn, yahoo & gmail but lost WinMail when I've upgraded from Vista to Windows7.
    I lost WinMail thur a mistake some time & it was a nighmare tring to meet links on sites that requires to open a format Outlook, Outlook Express or WinMail.

    I have msn (hotmail), yaho & gmail, but none of them will come when I'm trying to respond to the link sites for a response. If one of those that should be used, how it equal in Windows7?

    Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

    Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]

    You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Oiseau-tonnerre) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) Set Program Access and defaults of the computer before any function article send to or MailTo will become available.

    You will find support for Win7 e-mail Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads

    Hi Kumar,

    In 10g, you can query x$ ksxpia. If the cluster_interconnect is stored in the OCR (by default), you will get

    SQL > select INST_ID select, PUB_KSXPIA, PICKED_KSXPIA, NAME_KSXPIA, IP_KSXPIA, x$ ksxpia;

    If you have specified the cluster_interconnects parameter in your init.ora:

    Columns to look in: INST_ID select PICK NAME_KSXPIA IP_KSXPIA P

    And also you can use 'CPI oradebug' to see who connects the database uses:

    SQL > setmypid oradebug
    SQL > oradebug CPI

    It could be that useful...

  • What metrics to use for memory capacity planning? Active or consumed (in request or use vROPS)

    Hey all,.

    I was wondering once more what metrics to use for memory capacity planning. Since the information from different sources (for example your ESXi host needs more RAM to Iwan Rahabok or VMworld 2012: Session VSP1729 - virtualized memory understanding performance management - Eric Sloof - NTPRO.NL Kit Colbert) pointing all assets (vROPS request), I expect that when we have high memory consumption / use in vCenter there will be no balloon / compression / permutation.

    Also the metric active / request should not be used for all workloads (e.g. Java / DB), why is - this? I have not found the reason of this anywhere, only the fact.

    Other sources such as Mark Achtemichuk suggests using consumed/use, which is the opposite (Understanding Active Memory - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware vSphere).

    So I thought I'll with active / demand as metric and ignoring the warnings inside of vCenter.

    But the last time we have fixed half of our group, we had consumed/high memory usage and the vCenter began to inflate, compress, and finally to Exchange. Not a lot but I had not expected that, because memory active was only a small percentage of consumed.

    Can someone explain to me why this happened and who is right on this issue.

    Kind regards

    jengl

    jengl I don't know if you asked the wrong question, or I give the wrong answer :-)

    It is always good to attach screenshots, background to the issues, and what exactly you are trying to solve.

    You wrote:

    So to summarize:

    -ESXi uses consume to decide when to start the recovery techniques of memory RAM

    -To rightsize VMs for RAM, you must use the counter inside the BONE, not active

    -If you do not want to commit too much RAM and have a lot of the balloon you should right-size your virtual machines or extend the RAM / buy additional servers

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    My answer: you are right. If you do not have access to the guest operating system, then Active VM and VM consumed are better guess. Better than nothing :-)

    Sizing sizing of VM and ESXi are 2 different things (2 use cases) different. Please don't mix up the as soon as they are confusing. Do not try to resize the virtual machine when you are sizing the ESXi, unless you have a control total on them.

    You wrote:

    The question for me is: how many cache (standby under Windows) inside the VM is really necessary for the virtual machine to get the best performance without wasting resources. Perhaps this issue can be resolved only by tests or do you know another option?

    My answer: it's a different topic brother :-) It is different, because it is within a guest operating system (Windows in this case) and is no longer at the level of the ESXi. Suggest that post you another, possibly under Windows or vSphere too :-)

  • Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

    Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

    1 mac OS extended (journaled)

    2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

    3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

    4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

    See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

    When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

    • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
    • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • RunState.Sequence.Main vs RunState.SequenceFile? When you use the deployed software?

    RunState.Sequence.Main vs RunState.SequenceFile?  When you use the deployed software?

    Can someone explain to me why when I use something like->

    RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq ["Test Seq"]. Hand ["Test not"]. Result.Status

    the status will never be updated if I am set up for LabVIEW Run - Time Engine (but will work for the development of the system).

    Also why->

    RunState.Sequence.Main ["step Test"]. Result.Status

    Update for LabVIEW Run - Time Engine and development?

    I solved my problem with RunState.Sequence.Main ["step Test"]. Result.Status but I'm still curious why the reverse does not work?  Can someone give me please a validation test?

    Thank you very much!

    RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq contains the copy of time change sequences. These copies are not at all when running. At run time, a separate copy is made (and is accessible from RunState.Sequence) and only this copy of runtime is updated. These runtime copies are made for several reasons such as the following:

    (1) to ensure that changes to the sequence the runtime, do not affect the original version of the time edit of the file (you don't want to change the status to be an editing tool in the right sequence file?).

    (2) to support recursion, recursive calls in the same sequence have their own copy of the sequence so that State for a call is not crushed by one recursively calls the same sequence.

    There are probably other reasons as well, but these are probably the biggest.

    We started to use the Sunflower (Email Analytics - sunflower) this month and have been very happy with it. They not only do report on e-mail clients, you will tell people how committed are with your email address (for example did they spend time reading it or just delete it right now?). They also allow you to track individually, which means you can identify iPhone or Android users and send them a targeted campaign.
