Dedicating vCPU cores

$
0
0

Hello Experts,

 

Need an advice on to how to dedicate the CPU cores to a VM. Actually, my requirement is something like this :

 

I am having - ESXI hosts with 2 sockets * 18 cores = 36 cores in total ( assuming will not enable hyperthreading ) ( Intel processor with 2.6 GHz)

 

Now would like to deploy 2 types of VM :

 

1_ 1 Virtual Machines of 24 core (it is must to have 1:1 cpu core ratio meaning no oversubscription is allowed)

2_2 Virtual Machine of 10 cores each  (  can have 2:1 cpu core oversubscription for these VMs )

 

Now, the total cores I have on ESXI hosts is 36 and therefore this is how I am planning :

 

36 cores = 24 cores ( from 1 VM with 1:1 cpu core ratio ) + 10 cores ( from 2 VM where 2:1 cpu core oversubscription is possible ) + 2 cores for running ESXI 6.5 host.

 

Experts could you please guide me if this is the right plan and division of cores . If this is the right planning could you please guide me how will ensure that 1 VM will get 24 cpu cores exactly.


Performance degradation in Admission control

Hi

can you explain more clearly about Performance degradation Warning message in Admission control:

Because while i set HA cluster on percentage or Host failure cluster tolerance  on 1 host it means my HA will be work and that's tolerate is 1 Host now why we have to set Performance degradation ?

would you please give a example

Thank you LucD,

 

I'm going to test now in test environment. Can we do similar for VMware tools also ? Enabling/scheduling the VMware tools upgrade next re-boot for a specific lists of VM's from VM's Lists ?

5. can anyone confirm that is possible (in our case) to import the VM ?

 

6. Actually i don't have access to new ESXi Host, and new provider say that not possible to restore this VM with (disk-0.vmdk & vm.ovf), is this correct?

Yes you can.

Try like this

 

$do=New-Object-TypeNameVMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

$do.ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfo =New-Object-TypeNameVMware.Vim.ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfo

$do.ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfo.UpgradePolicy =[VMware.Vim.ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfoHardwareUpgradePolicy]::onSoftPowerOff

$do.ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfo.VersionKey =“vmx-13”

$do.Tools =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo

$do.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy ="UpgradeAtPowerCycle"

 

foreach($vmNamein (Get-Content-PathC:\TEMP\vmliste.txt)){

    $vm=Get-VM-Name$vmName

    $vm.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($do)

}

Cannot give 2 vCPUs to VM due to Licensing restriction

Hello,

 

I am running Esxi 6.7 Hypervisor the free version.

 

After I installed a second VM with one vCPU I wanted to add another vCPU, then I get the error that I do not have enough Licenses for this operation. My first VM runs with two vCPUs. Does this mean I can only have 3 vCPUs running???

 

Is this a limitation of the free version or have I missed something???

 

I thought there is only a limitation on physical CPU???

LucD,

 

I'm going to test in test environment but i found that in script i need to give Cluster name everytime whenever i run the script. Is it possible to implement the script across the cluster since i'm picking up specific VM's given in the lists vmliste.txt

 

please confirm.

 

regards

PSOD CPU issue or LSI Raid Issue

I been wrecking my brain and trying to find what caused my ESXI machine to have PSOD. Initially there was a faulty CPU, so I removed it, so my server currently is running on one processer. It still works as I have inserted the ram and pcie slot which the CPU1 support. PSOD still happens when I was trying to transfer files out from my Windows Server VM to another network disk. It does not happen immediately, it happen like after 30min or so and I am transferring around 32gig of files. Anyone could help me decipher the log, i am running on the latest lsi_mr3 driver btw.

Another note to add, I am running on Raid 6 SSD on datastore1 and a 1TB HDD on datastore2.

Your log shows MCEs which mean hardware faults. You're also running on the GA release of ESXi 6.7 and need to get to Update 1. I'm assuming this is also unsupported hardware, so what is it?

If the VMware Tools upgrade requires a reboot, there will be 2.

 

You can check the settings with

 

Get-VM|

SelectName,

    @{N='HW Upgrade Scheduled';E={$_.ExtensionData.ScheduledHardwareUpgrade.UpgradePolicy -eq'OnSoftPoweroff'}},

    @{N='Tools Upgrade Scheduled';E={$_.ExtensionData.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy -eq'UpgradeAtPowerCycle'}}

Share Virtual disk between 2 vms not update instantly

$

Hi, I would like to create a shared VMDK between 2 virtual machines

one VM should write to the VMDK

and the second VM should have only read permission to the VMDK

I succeded to create the shared disk with the right SCSI controller

But, once VM1 is adding a file to the disk, VM2 doesn't see the file and the updates immediately

There is any solution to solve this problem?

My main goal as I menition before, is to make a virtual disk that is belong to VM1 and another VM2 can read the data from the disk (And keep see updates on vm2 on new files)

Re: Share Virtual disk between 2 vms not update instantly

So, do you want to "clusterize" this disk.

Which is the problem of creating the disk, set to physical and then, "multi-writer"?

And about the "updates" are not seeing immediately... are you talking about Windows?

Because if you trust Windows and the GUI...you maybe have more than one surprise.

mm.. seems that you are confusing some things.

Check the volumes first with: esxcli storage filesystem list

Then try to mount it with the volume's label: esxcli storage filesystem mount--volume-label=<label>
