Hey All, One of the big issues with SCVMM 2008 for me was that the memory available on the hosts is not correct. If you are running quite a large environment with a lot of virtual machines, it is difficult to know how many you have left. You can of course start calculating it manually but… ;-) So here’s a screenshot of the problem As you can see, all my hosts are giving zero kb free of memory. That’s not exactly correct Here’s how to solve this one: On each host that has this problem, open the registry and go to the following key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfOS\Parameters If you see the key “Disable Performance Counters” then change it to 0. Now you need to restart the WMI service on the host. Please pay attention because it will restart other services too and you don’t want to do this during production hours… After that the services are restarted, you can refresh your configuration in SCVMM and then you get the correct figures Cheers, Mike
Hey All, One of the nice things in Virtual Machine Manager is the Cost Center feature. Although this seems like “just another field in the database”, it can come in handy when you need to prove to your management which business unit is using what resources. Or, if the servers are used for certain projects, you can prove which project is using what. This can be handy when you need more hardware and the management asks a prove if you are using everything you’ve got ;-) In my example, I’ve added some cost centers to some servers. You do this by double-clicking on the virtual server or by opening the properties of it. As you can see, I’ve added the Cost Center MSS to this server (which is actually the business unit I’m working for ;-)) Now the fun starts when you have Operations Manager in place and you have imported the Virtual Machine Manager Management Pack into OpsMgr. Now you get cool reporting. In Virtual Machine Manager, I go to reporting and I have one...
