When you run a single virtual machine on the host computer, is it ok to assign all the processors for comments

I have a single guest Windows 7 Pro running on the host ESXi 5 U1.   It will always be in a 1-1 configuration (we needed server hardware, but with BONES desktop for purposes of licensing).  The host CPU is an E5603 (Quad - core 1.6 GHz).  I want the guest to have the maximum amount of possible processor cores, because a true multi-threaded application runs.  Because Windows 7 is limited to 4 cores, I disabled hyperthreading on the processor so that when I assigned 4 cores the VM, I get all 4, not the half because of hyperthreading.

I am setting for claim processor between the host and the guest?  Should I only assign 3 carrots to the guest while it is still available for the host?

With the requirement, it's guessing more than knowing what to configure. I think that with 2 Dual-Core configuration, I suggested above, you're on the save side.

  • How to specify the file of virtual hard disk when you create a new virtual machine using virtual hard disk on the data store?

    I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.

    Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

    My current create VM is the following statement:

    New-VM

    -Name $TargetHostName -host $TargetVMCenterHost -data store $TargetVMCenterDatastore DiskMB - 20000 -MemoryMB $TargetHostMemoryMB -NumCPU $TargetHostCPUs -ID $TargetHostOS -CD -Description $TargetHostName

    Didn't notice this before, but I think that vSphere will use a backslash instead of a slash in the paths.

  • Blue screen when you create a new virtual machine from an acronis image.  ESXi 5.0

    I'm trying to create a virtual machine in my ESXi 5.0, from acronis backup.  The backup is W2003.

    The virtual machine is created, but when it tries to start on W2003, he quickly shows a blue screen for a second or two, then try to restart.

    I suspect that it is a hard disk driver, but I don't know how to correct it.    I couldn't see anything in the Bios of the virtual machine to select type of HD.

    This fixed my issue.

    Glad to hear that it works now. Even if VMware Converter 4.3 works, I would say that you are using the latest version of Converter for future conversions.

  • How to keep or ignore the UUID when you power on a virtual machine

    We have a scenario where we are mirror of VMs from one site to another site for BCP which has a separate instance of the VC.

    We pre-record the virtual computers hosted NFS in virtual center.

    When we need to recover break us the mirror and power on the machine.

    VC then promp with the question, you want to keep or throw the UUID.

    How can be script as its easy to answer a few virtual machines but a pain for possibly up to a hundred?

    There are a few things to keep in mind when you want to start the guests and answer the question in this way.

    (1) the Start-VM cmdlet will wait for the prompt to start, but there is a question waiting it will never happen.

    ==> the solution is to use the Start-VM cmdlet with the parameter -RunAsync , this way the cmdlet will not wait.

    (2) when a client starts, it will take some time before the issue appears.

    ==> the solution is to wait until the question is displayed with a loop

    (3) to get the current status of the prompt, the script needs to get the VirtualMachine object with each pass through the loop.

    The properties of the $vm variable are not automatically updated unless the script retrieves the object with the cmdlet Get-View.

    (4) the purpose of the Question is present when the question is displayed. Prior to this point, this object is $null.

    ==> to avoid execution of the StartsWith method on a $null object if statement first checks to see if the object in Question is present.

    The script relies on the fact that the two conditions that are combined with - and the operator are executed from left to right.

    This is probably not a good programming practice and should be solved by using two nested If statements.

    The following script implements all the points made above.

    Note that it can only be used for the issue of msg.uuid.moved.

    The script responses with choice 2 which is the choice of 'keep '.

    $qMsgUuidMoved = "msg.uuid.moved:"
    $choiceKeep = 2
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VM "TestPC"
    $vmImpl | Start-VM -RunAsync
    
    do{
      $vm = $vmImpl | Get-View
      if($vm.Runtime.Question -ne $null -and $vm.Runtime.Question.Text.StartsWith($qMsgUuidMoved)){
        $vm.AnswerVM($vm.Runtime.Question.Id, $choiceKeep)
      }
    } until ($vm.Runtime.PowerState -ne "poweredoff")

    I am running the retail version of Windows 7. NWN2 had worked without any difficulty (out of 7), but in the course of the last days began to shut down my PC completely. No warning, just a black screen and the PC turns off. Sometimes I get through creation of character on solo - sometimes not. I've updated the BIOS and video drivers.

    Maybe an automatic update that changed the equation...

    Anyone with similar problems? Does anyone have a solution?

    You will certainly want to ensure that your video drivers are up to date.  You can also look into any update of the BIOS that may be available.  You can also perform a clean boot and see if there is any other software that may conflict with the game.

  • Doubts about cloning/migrating off the virtual machines on the network

    Hello

    I'm going to have some problems of connection while cloning/migration power VMs on different hosts on ESXi5 off. I don't know is this procedure for moving a VM off will use the vMotion network, or just the normal management. I have a lot of is speeds when copying VMs on several different hosts, so I wonder what I could do to make sure that the speeds are overfished? I have all the hosts that are connected on a gbit switch.

    Thank you!

    Yes, two links are used, even when you vMotion a single virtual machine. Here is an official KB article.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2007467

    A quick test (only VM vMotion) confirms this, as evidenced by the performance tables;

  • A virtual machine at the same time...? Which means that for Vmware replication

    Hi guys

    I read the Vmware 5.5 replication, and it says what I do not understand.

    I was reading the recovery process and he said:

    You can recover a virtual machine at the same time on the site replicated on the incoming replication tab

    what it means?

    I restore a VM and I have to wait until he said recovered to start the recovery process or simply means that a single virtual computer at a time and no group of the virtual machine can be recovered I can begin the process of recovery in 3 VMs at the same time, but I have to go one

    Thanks a lot guys

    Hello

    The second. You can begin the process of recovery for each virtual computer and they can go in parallel. However, there is no option to select more than one replication and begin the process of recovery in a single step.

    Kind regards

    Important that I moved a Windows 2012 VM without ESXi server to the problem and messages LSI_SAS and disc problems began to appear

    Thanks a lot guys

    Hello

    I do not understand the LSI SAS and mptscsi messages are coming inside the guests who are having a controller LSI. I agree to a point that the vmhba0 of LSI in the server maybe nothing to do with errors inside the guests because you do not have virtual machines in the local data store but CF.

    So, let's take a look at the usual suspects:

    1. as Memmad has pointed out, in the vmkernel journal, we can see if the FC lun is seen no problem and is reported.

    2 the ESX does very slowly during the execution of commands like esxcfg-scsidevs - m or esxcfg-rescan vmhbaX [X your CF Adapter]

    3 - is the lun configured for multi path in the face of questions, CF once again, it can be newspapers vmkernel. ?

    4. I'm sure that the paging file will be generated when the FC lun, but they have a check if the last file to update the directory of the virtual machine swap at the present time. This is to eliminate any delay in the swap file in writing of the customer due to CF issues.

    5. There was questions previous similar to yours as VM lose pings, decline in performance, but they were in iscsi and 4.1 KB here

    It seems that the guests are abandoned or their scsi reset commands that seems to be the issue here.

  • How to move a virtual machine to another host ESXi running when HA vCenter is not operational... !

    Hey

    We have a few guests of ESXi running the 5.0.0 original version and some running the latest 5.1 U1 or whatever and the last vCenter to do this too.

    the vCenter server is one of the hosts running 5.0.0 and these do not allow HA either active correctly. The problem is a known bug, and you switch to maintenance mode and do funky stuff on the cli to make it work. However, I just want to spend all my virtual machines off the old 5.0.0. hosts and on the new, as the 'old' will be dismantled. I can do all virtual machines by just when close them down and moving off, but I won't be able to do this in with the vm off vCenter vCenter!

    can I turn off, connect directly to the ESXi host, remove it its inventory (this option exists even on the ESXi host live?) and save it to the new 5.1.0 host U1 and fire?

    vCenter complain or fail when she returns to the top?

    they share all the same warehouses of data, so I need to move the backend.

    thoughts?

    Thank you

    Roger

    HA and vMotion (i.e. live migration) are two different things and are independent of each other, so if vMotion is configured correctly, you should be able to migrate the virtual machines (including the vCenter Server VM) to another host.
