On the other hand, if the IP address of the vCenter server of interest to you is not available in the list, then, you can add the details of the vCenter server on-the-fly, by selecting the Other option from the vIRTUAL center list.
This will invoke the add vcenter server details page. Once the vCenter server is added, its IP address, esx user , and esx password will be displayed against the corresponding text boxes. On the other hand, if you want the eG agent to behave in the default manner -i. A very high value for this measure indicates excessive CPU utilization by the host. The CPU utilization may be high because a few processes are consuming a lot of CPU, or because there are too many processes contending for a limited resource.
Indicates the percentage of time the virtual host was ready to execute commands but was waiting for the availability of multiple pCPUs as the virtual host was configured to use multiple vCPUs. If the virtual host is unresponsive and the value of this measure is high, it may indicate that the vSphere host has limited CPU resources to simultaneously co-schedule all pCPUs.
If this value is low, then any performance problems should be attributed to other issues and not to the co-scheduling of the pCPU. Indicates the total CPU capacity reserved by and available for virtual machines.
By observing the variations to this measure over time, you will be able to judge how much CPU resources the VMs really require. Indicates the percentage of time for which the powered on virtual machines on the host are ready to run, but are not running because they have reached their maximum CPU limit setting. A high value of this measure is a cause for concern as it indicates that the VMs on the host have been non-operational for a long time for want of CPU resources.
You may want to consider increasing the CPU limits, reservations, and shares for the VMs, so as to preempt such unpleasant situations. If the value of this measure is abnormally high, then check if the host has enough memory for running all VMs. If the value of this measure is abnormally high, then you may want to check the value of the CPU swap wait time and CPU idle time measures to know on what CPU was waiting the longest - was it waiting for swapping?
Indicates the total time that the virtual machines on the host were ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical CPU during last measurement interval. If VMs wait too long to run, it can significantly affect the responsiveness of the VMs. If the CPU wait time measure is abnormally high, then compare the value of this measure with that of the Swap wait measure to know where the CPU spent maximum time - waiting for swapping? This is because hyperthreading enables a single processor core to act like two processors i.
So for example, if an ESX 8-core server has hyper-threading enabled it would have 16 threads that appear as 16 logical processors and that would constitute 16 pCPUs. Determining this ratio will depend on the CPU utilization of the workloads. This may have a negative impact on the virtual machine's performance. Indicates the CPU utilization of the corresponding core as a percentage during the interval. Privacy Policy Terms of Use.
Account Settings Logout. All Files. Submit Search. You are here:. By default, this is NULL. If you need to assign more than 8 logical processors for a VM, the logic remains the same. To calculate the number of logical CPUs in vSphere Client , multiply the number of sockets by the number of cores. In the navigator, open Hosts and Clusters, and select the needed virtual machine that you want to configure.
Right-click the VM, and in the context menu, hit Edit Settings to open virtual machine settings. Click the drop-down menu in the CPU string, and select the total number of needed logical processors for this VM. Cores per Socket. In this string, click the drop-down menu, and select the needed number of cores for each virtual socket processor. CPU Hot Plug. Remember limitations and requirements. This frequency is the maximum frequency for a virtual machine, even if this VM is the only VM running on the ESXi host or cluster with more free processor resources.
The set limit is true for all virtual processors of a VM. If a VM has 2 single-core processors, and the limit is MHz, then both virtual processors work with a total clock speed of one million cycles per second MHz for each core. This parameter defines the priority of resource consumption by virtual machines Low, Normal, High, Custom on an ESXi host or resource pool. Hardware virtualization. Select this checkbox to enable nested virtualization.
This option is useful if you want to run a VM inside a VM for testing or educational purposes. Performance counters. This feature is used to allow an application installed within the virtual machine to be debugged and optimized after measuring CPU performance. Scheduling Affinity. This option is used to assign a VM to a specific processor.
Using this option is deprecated in vSphere 7. On the following screenshot, you see processor configuration for the same Ubuntu VM that was configured before in vSphere Client. In the graphical user interface GUI of VMware Workstation, you should select the number of virtual processors sockets and the number of cores per processor.
The number of total processor cores logical cores of physical processors on an ESXi host or cluster is calculated and displayed below automatically. In the interface of vSphere Client, you set the number of total processor cores the CPUs option , select the number of cores per processor, and then the number of virtual sockets is calculated and displayed.
The commands are used for VMs that are powered off. To configure a VM to use two single-core virtual processors two virtual sockets are used , use the command:.
In the following example, you see how to configure a VM to use two dual-core virtual processors 2 sockets are used :. In my case, I check the Ubuntu If you need to reduce the number of processors sockets for a VM, use the same command as shown before with less quantity. For example, to set one processor socket for a VM, use this command:. Task automation is important and convenient if the number of virtual machines to configure is high.
In VMware vSphere 6. If you use vSphere versions older than vSphere 6. Take into account the licensing model of software you need to install on a VM.
