Ah. I will give that a shot. In this case, who will be the parent where I put the Applink? Access or Compass, my application/database thingy. I'm guessing it would be Compass, but that's just a guess.

VMware Player - Excessive use of hard drive

$

I have been looking into a fix for the post below and didn't find the Community for VMPlayer at the very start so I created and posted this first:

http://communities.vmware.com/message/2197748#2197748

I have since found the VMware Player group and have copied my post over to find a wider audience in the hope of a fix. Thanks, Jon

 

Hello and thanks for taking the time to look at this post.

 

I appear to have an uncommon issue (At least I failed to Google an answer over the last few days) where the VM will max out the Hard Drive while getting a terrible Read and Write speed and response time. At first I took this to be that the Hard Drive was failing, however I have ran extensive tests and I am happy that the Hard Drive is not the issue as this only occurs when one of my VM's is running.

 

The issue:

The Hard Drive the VM is running on suffers a terrible performance drop once a VM has been launched

(See Image)

This only occurs during the operation of a VM however, The disk performs well when a VM is not running.

 

Example:

Test with just one VM Running (Image) - VM is idling and has been powered on for 20+ minutes

http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s535/OPWarmachine/19-February-2013_19-45_zpsfececba1.png

 

Example test without a VM running:

http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s535/OPWarmachine/19-February-2013_19-59_zps11b8045e.png

 

As you can see there is a massive loss in performance, and the VM does not run as smoothly.

I was hoping to run three to four VM's concurrently from the same disk, however the performance is woeful, so I am attempting to rectify the issues.

 

 

I am fully aware this could be down to a poor configuration setup, something stupid I have done somewhere so to provide as many clues as possible, please refer to the following set up I am using:

Re: How to invoke/execute the existing script/function to esxi 5.0 host in a CSV file by PowerCLI ?

$

If you create a file called vmhosts.csv that has the following structure:

 

Name

ESX1.yourdomain.com

ESX2.yourdomain.com

 

then you can use the following PowerCLI code as a wrapper around your code:

 

Import-Csv-Pathvmhosts.csv |ForEach-Object$VMHost=Get-VMHost$_  $VMHostView=$VMHost.ExtensionData  $NetworkSystem=$VMHostView.Configmanager.NetworkSystem  $VirtualNicManager=$VMHostView.Configmanager.VirtualNicManager  $IscsiManager=$VMHostView.Configmanager.IscsiManager    # Your code comes here!}

 

At each place where in your code is used something like:

 

$_this=Get-View-Id'IscsiManager-iscsiManager-360'$_this.QueryPnicStatus("vmnic1")

 

you need to replace the MoRef with the corresponding variable:

 

$_this=Get-View-Id$IscsiManager$_this.QueryPnicStatus("vmnic1")

 

Replace 'IscsiManager-iscsiManager-360' with $IscsiManager, 'HostVirtualNicManager-virtualNicManager-360' with $VirtualNicManager and 'HostNetworkSystem-networkSystem-360' with $NetworkSystem.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your situation. I thought you were capturing your "reports" application along with MS Access. Your virtual package does not contain MS Access that's why you get a not found error message.

 

This is normal behavior, your native application, Microsoft Access, won't see the files inside the virtual package, here your database file. Your MS Access and your reports app must run in the same sandbox.

Please check whether the datastore was created with the VMFS3 or VMFS5 filesystem. Before VMFS5 which was introduced with ESXi 5.0, you needed to specify a block size (1, 2 4 or 8MB) while creating a datastore to allow files/virtual disks with sizes of 256, 512, 1024 or ~2048GB (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003565).

VMFS5 uses a unified block size of 1 MB for all supported sizes of files/virtual disks (currently up to ~2TB)

Mmmm, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Fusion 5.0.2, Windows XP Guest, the days tick by and I still have the 'black box' mouse pointer problem.

I should probably get a dump of your whole config.

 

Could you clean out all logs that you're able to - Tomcat, Gemfire server and locator logs.

 

Do a cold start of everything.

 

Send me your <tcserver>/conf/ directory, the <tcserver>/logs/ directory, Gemfire server and locator logs and your gemfire.properties.

 

Thanks

No way is this  even close to what you need to post detailinig youir specs. .

 

1)  You say you downloaded vmware

 

     a)  Do you know the version?

 

      b)  If a program says to run setup would you not do this before attepting to run it? 

 

      c) what exactly did you download - do you  and/or your school have a licensedhave license.

 

2).  What is the host you intend to run vmware on?

 

3)  What guest(s)  are you explecting to virtualize.?

 

If its not some secret it might be helpful if you actually posted your assignment.  We are not going to solve your class questions (that would be  immora and perhaps illegal).  but we can get some idea of what you are supposed to do - unless you can summarize it yourself.

If the entities are directly related to VC, then you need to use extenstion.

 

For Example, Network Pool, External nets etc.

Yeah. I ended up solving the problem for good by switching back to Parallels v8. Not only does it not have this problem, it appears to be faster overall than VMware. Been on it now for a couple of months.

vCenter High Availability HA

Hi,

 

I am trying to understand how does someone know whether there is enough resources for HA capability. I know that HA can fail if there is no memory and CPU resources  but just wondering how is this calculated or how you can see whether you have or don't have HA capability in a cluster.

 

I was looking at resource allocation in HA cluster but doesnt say too much.

 

\So my question would be how would you determine that you have enough resources for HA to do its job. Certainly I dont want to end up with the situation that I dont have enough capacity to perfor HA.

Re: VMware Installer could not shut down all running virtual machines ...

Are you running the program update frlom within the program itself?  You will have better luck trying to shut down  any running guests by loginning in and out - or if that fails reboot the machine.  Then download the 9.0.1 bundle.  The run /usr/bin/vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation.  Then try the install again. You can also folllow the directionsii n KB 38 (I think that/s it) on compoetly removing a Linux WS install.  The firs step will stop any running vmware processes.

You may try this workaround:

 

 

[CompassReports.dat]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Compass\Reports\reports97.mdb
;Change ReadOnlyData to bin\Package.ro.tvr to build with old versions(4.6.0 or earlier) of tools
ReadOnlyData=Package.ro.tvr
MetaDataContainerOnly=1
[Compass Reports - Prod.exe]
Shortcut=CompassReports.dat
CommandLine="%ProgramFilesDir%\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" "%ProgramFilesDir%\Compass\Reports\reports97.mdb"
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Compass\Reports\reports97.mdb
WorkingDirectory=%ProgramFilesDir%\Compass\Reports
Icon=%AppData%\Microsoft\Installer\{CDAFCBF5-1DD4-455D-819A-28EE66D09EB5}\NewShortcut3_CDAFCBF51DD4455D819A28EE66D09EB5.exe
Comment=Compass Reports, using Production database
Shortcuts=%Desktop%

 

 

This works on a Windows XP with Access 2010 installed. Adjust the path of your native MS Access in the commandLine parameter if needed.

Are you seeing any VSS/Snapshot provider errors in the Event Viewer within the guest OS?

Usually you will neither use VLAN1 (native VLAN by default) nor VLAN 4095 (special purpose) or any reserved Cisco VLAN's when you work with trunk ports in ESXi. You can however use any other VLAN, which you may need to allow on the physical trunk port(s). The VLAN-ID will be added and/or removed - by the port group on which it is configured - to/from the network package (like on an access port).
