• WAIT % - % IDLE, what is the average for a virtual machine?

  I did some research on performance of VM problems and worked with the media to see that there is maybe a bottle neck IO that occur with a virtual VMware machine I have performance problems on. The technician found that the WAITING % - % IDLE on average for this virtual machine is around 200%. The tech said it was abnormally high. I forgot to ask her what was normal but wanted to put a post to see if some people out there know what they are on average. What is an average number of see? I have the system done nothing right now and I see 579% waiting and 372% IDLE. The technology has been able to confirm that no IO queue was occurring in the VMkernel or on the HBA controller.

  Some average % positions would be useful. Thank you.

  Supposibly the amount of time in a State of waiting for I/O is the WAIT - IDLE % difference. I was wondering if anyone had the numbers for this feeling. Is there anyone with some of them?

  Q: How will I know the VCPU world waiting for I/O events?

  A: WAIT - % IDLE % can give you an estimate on how much time processor is spent waiting for I/O events. It is an estimate only, because the world wait perhaps for other than the i/o resources. Note that we should do it only for the worlds of the WWW, not the other kind of worlds. Because the VMM worlds represent the best guest behavior. For the disk i/o, another alternative is to read the disk latency stats that we explain in the drive section.

  WAIT % by itself cannot be used, you must develop and examine the individual vCPU % EXPECTATION values and subtract their idle time.  You can't do it on the initial view of a single line by VM CPU in esxtop.  If technology that you mentioned did not explain it, he doesn't know what it takes.

  I have lots of virtual machines that are never less than 300% when I wait - % idle and I have no problems.

  It is an example, I caught NimSoft server:

  DHSNMS1 100 100 5 192.63 193,80 0.24 0.03 291,44 1.04

  %EST USED (s) 192 - in other words, almost two processors are used 100%

  The %Idle is 1.04% WAIT 291.44 - according to the calculation of waiting idle, I have a super serious problems of e/s past  But this isn't the case, and expanding, I can see that.

  5665 vmware-vmx 100 1 0.09 0.11 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.01

  5667 100 vmassistant.566 1 0.62 0.65 99,63 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5703 100 mks:DHSNMS1 1 0.01 0.01-100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5704 vcpu 100 - 0:DHSNMS1 1 32,35 32.88 67,28 0.28 0.11 67,14

  5705 vcpu 100 - 1:DHSNMS1 1 31,58 32.05 68.11 0.00 67.85 0.12

  So the changed values unfortunately because of ESXTOP bike when you develop... which is annoying, but anyway.  In this you see % waiting is 67 and 68 with another respectively being 3 to 100% (which is normal) and the idle being %, 0, 0, 0, 67 and 67.8.  Doing the calculation on the processors shows a wait - slowed virtually 0 - or very little IO wait past with processors.  But if you add up all the expectations of % and % is idling, you have 434ish, and the 134ish and do the calculation is the difference of 300 - which is the 3 who are always 100%.

  So there is no way we can answer your question, we can only help you to understand how the values should be interpreted.

  Waiting for i/o States almost always go on the disc anyway, it is unlikely, therefore, the network or the user entered, looking at the stats of disc ESXTOP is a much better way to determine if there is a problem of e/s.

• What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

  Hello

  Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.
  
  Thank you

  By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

  As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

  In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

  Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.

• List of data store, SpaceProvisioned, Spaceused for multiple virtual machines

  Hello

  I want to list the data store, the SpaceProvisioned, the Spaceused for several virtual machines.

  I wrote the following lines, but this didn t work:

  $vms = get - VM v998spwmv10175n
  {foreach ($vm to $vms)
  $vmname = $vm. Name
  $vmdiskprovisioned = $vm. ProvisionedSpaceGB
  $vmdiskused = $vm. UsedSpaceGB

  Select @{N = "VMname"; E = {$vmname}},
  @{N = "VMDiskPath"; E = {$vmdiskpath}},
  @{N = "VMDiskProvisioned"; E = {$vmdiskprovisioned}},
  @{N = "VMDiskUsed"; E = {$vmdiskused}} | Format-Table

  }

  What wrong with it? I'm away right?

  THX in advance

  Chakoe

  The following script lists each vDisk in a separate line. The VMDiskProvisioned and VMDiskUsed properties are always those of the virtual machine.

  $vms = Get-VM v998spwmv10175n

    $vmname = $vm.Name
    $vmdiskprovisioned = $vm.ProvisionedSpaceGB

• Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

  Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

  
  IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

  In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

  Thank you.

  = NOTE =.

  My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

  Dv01 has

  Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = dv01-BOOT

  Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

  VM02 has

  Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = VM02-BOOT

  Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

  Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

  I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

  (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

  Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

  Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

  Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

  LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

  I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
  His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

  To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

  No disks are IO or claim of space.

  But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

  Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

  Thank you...

  At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

• RDM for several virtual machines on the same LUN

  Hi, I have a requirement for multiple virtual machines to have access to the same LUN filestore. I think create ROW for each virtual computer to the LUN. I wanted to ask if this is possible and if someone put in place before?

  Are there issues making this record to file/san locks?

  Thank you

  Once you add the raw device map to a virtual computer, you can not add it to each other as well.

  It would satisfy your requirement to add to a virtual computer, assign it a drive name or folder, then that spread out and have another card SMV a drive to it?  Depending on what you're trying to do, which can satisfy because it will work.

• Affinity processor for a virtual machine

  I have a lot of CPU 8 on which I have installed ESX 3.5 U3. I also created a virtual machine Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 2 CPU is assigned to the.

  I'm trying to set the processor affinity for this virtual machine to use 2 of my physical processors. I see now on the tab Advanced CPU, I am able to select all available 8 physics of the processor. So now I'm a bit confused regarding if VMware allows scaling of my machine virtual to use all 8 CPU when my virtual machine is only 2 CPU?

  Now if the above is true, and I am to be allowed to set the affinity of the virtual machine to the all 8 CPU, then why is this maximum limit of the processor for a virtual machine is only 4? A stupid question probably but I'm really confused?  :|

  Hi confused,

  Yes, the user interface is a bit confusing. As RParker said, basically what you are doing when you assign the processor affinity are to identify the nuclei on which the vCPU is eligible to run on. At no time will be the VM scheduled to be run on carrots than what there vCPUs, so he will never have access to a capacity more than expected.

  The processor affinity is one of those features that's been around since 'the beginning' and its utility is really a bit blurred. I've heard of cases where users were running Citrix workloads configured with 2 vCPU and assigned the processor affinity for each virtual computer with the result of improving the performance. I wonder this because I never saw myself, and have a decent knowledge of how works the vmkernel Scheduler, it make much sense.

  I would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) essentially forget that the processor affinity is an option. Use it can cause significant performance degradation (if, for example, you pin a VM through two nodes NUMA, rather than keep vCPUs all in the same node) and break features (VMotion, DRS and who knows what else in the future).

• Power MacBook from 2016 for Windows virtual machines?

  Hello

  Can anyone with real experience let me know if Spring 2016 up-to-date as MacBook have the ability to run VMware Fusion and a 2 or 4 GB Windows 7 or 10 VMS?

  My local Apple store have answers that are different with none of them being honest users of VMware Fusion or IT pros understand my needs to run heavy client VMware and other Windows applications not too demanding.

  As a point of reference, my i7 '2011 mi' Air is sufficient. It looks like a new MacBook a faster memory and storage but perhaps not the power of the older i7.

  I don't want to waste time and to return a product if it does not work well so all ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I have the new base model 2016; I got the base model 2015 too, and Windows 10 was OK under VMware.

  It depends on what you want to do with your virtual machine.

  However, if I were you, I prefer a 'real' basic PC, powered with Teamviewer. It's really easier, this save your battery and life SSD.

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Andy

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• Definition of levels of booking for a virtual machine

  The vcloud usage meter says:

  NET points = (vGB hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM) / hours per month

  
  

  A month calendar of 30 days, a service provider uses the vCloud package provider services - first Edition to configure its virtual machine with 16 vGB for 15 days and 48 vGB 15 days remaining. The level of booking for the virtual machine is set to 75 percent for the whole month.

  15 days x 24 hours x 16 vGB x 0.75 = 4 320 hours of vGB

  15 days x 24 hours x 24 vGB (vGB 48 x 0.75 but capped at 24 GB) = 8 640 hours of vGB

  Total number of hours of vGB = 12 960 hours of vGB

  Total points = 12 960 vGB hours ÷ 720 hours / month x 7 points (for Prime Minister) = 126 points

  Where "the level of booking' for a virtual machine?  Is - this talk on VM bookings each parameter in vCenter Server, or do something to the extent of consumption vCloud himself?

• VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host

  I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING".  This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment.  The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct.  It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.

  In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0.  I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it.  Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it.  I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.

  I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network.  MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.

  For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.

  Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?

  The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?
