How do we create cpu alerts on virtual machines?

We are using SCVMM 2012 R2 and SCOM 2012 R2
Under monitoring we can see the cpu load for individual instances of virtual machines Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.2012.VirtualMachine.PercentCPU
Under authoring there doesn't appear to be a cpu counter for us to create overrides to add to an alert subscription
We don't want to load the scom agent on each VM and access via e.g. target 'windows server 2012 operating system'
Thanks
David

Hi David!
1. You could create overrides directly from the perf.view, but:
2. you cannot simply add alerting to a collection rule (of a sealed MP).
3. I am able to see that perf. collection rule in the authoring pane, but again: see 2.
4. You will need the Win OS MP and an agent on the VM if you'd like to monitor the CPUs. AFAIR there is nothing in the VMM MP itself for alerting on the VMs CPU perf.
Cheers,
Patrick

    Hi ,
    anybody know  How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
    I want to create lab but i couldn't  I follow this article but the new VM is off

    one of hyper-v component is not running
    thanks

    Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
    However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
    The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

  • How do I create more space on Time Machine backup disk?

    How do I create more space on Time Machine backup disk?

    since time machine in Snow Leopard stops backing up when there's no more space on the disk,
    That is has not been my experience, and does not appear to be agree with this Time Machine documentation:
    Backup drive fills up
    As your backup drive begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones (and will alert you if the "Notify after old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences).

  • How can I create an alert in iTunes store?

    I would like to create an alert in iTunes store, such that whenever a new album of a specific group appears I will receive an email.
    Is that possible? if so , how ?
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
    Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
    Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
    You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

  • How do I create an alert for a collection?

    Hi,
    I created a collection that queries computers with Endpoint definition files of 7 days and older.  Now, I want an email alert daily what computers are in that collection.  How do I do that?
    Please give me some steps if possible because I am not familiar creating an alert.
    If you have an alternate/easier way, my goal is to receive email alerts of computers with old Endpoint definiton files 7 days or older.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeremy,
    So I created a report and it shows under Subscriptions (just like how it was instructed).  I also check Administration \ Site configuration \ Sites \ Configure Components \ Email notifications and tested, all is good.
    I noticed that under "Report Delivered By: I only have "Windows File Share".  No Deliver by Email option.
    I see that the report ran as how I wanted it.  The result was there but where is my email? Am I missing any more steps?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

  • How do I create calendar alerts (popping into view)?

    How do I create alerts that pop into view to tell me an upcoming calendar event will be starting in, say, 15 minutes?

    When creating a calendar event, there is an alert option - with a first and a second alert if you want two. You can set the first alert for an hour before and the second alert at 15 minutes before, or have a single alert at 15 minutes before. There will be the calendar alert sound and a pop-up for the event.

  • How to convert offline ESXi 5.5U1 virtual machines to Hyper-V?

    Following on from my
    earlier question, I am having trouble working out how to convert my ESXi VMs to Hyper-V. Am I doing something really unusual?
    I have a ESXi 5.5U1 server at home for my home test lab. I want to convert this to Hyper-V Core 2012 R2. Target storage layout will look like this:
    Currently under ESXi 5.5, I don't have the C drive (using a USB flash to boot), and the RAID-5 and RAID-0 arrays are two separate VMFS volumes.
    I don't have swing kit to migrate, I have to repurpose existing hardware. I do have my Windows 8.1 workstation but that only has 900 GB free space.
    Some of my VMs have vmdks greater than 2TB.
    My plan was to
    In ESXi before rebuilding, move my VMs from the RAID-5 vol to the RAID-0 vol and then delete anything that wouldn't fit that's not strictly necessary from the RAID-5 volume.
    Shutdown ESXi and remove the USB flash drive.
    Install Hyper-V onto the System disk as C drive.
    Format the RAID-5 volume as NTFS (64k) and create a mount point into the C drive as C:\RAID-5. Put my VM disks in C:\RAID-5\VirtualDisks and the VMs in C:\RAID-5\VirtualMachines.
    Somehow convert the VMs from the RAID-0 VMFS volume to Hyper-V VMs on the RAID-5 NTFS volume.
    My confidence is low because I have tried to convert a new test machine created in ESXi 5.5 to a spare test Hyper-V 2012 R2 with the MVMC 3.1 converter and it failed. I also tried with the free 5nine converter and that failed too. I tried with and without
    the Guest Additions installed. Both conversions failed. I should mention I am in a workgroup, not a windows domain.
    Please help!

    May i inquire on why those two products failed? I had some struggles with both of them but eventually got things worked.
    Also you should try this one
    Starwind V2V convertor, it has worked for pure offline conversions for me as well. That was years ago, so hopefully it still works.
    Sure, here is the log from an attempt to convert a brand new VMware virtual machine which has Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in it with no VM tools. http://pastebin.com/xdhzZ7tx
    Here is the log from an attempt to convert a Lubuntu linux VM: http://pastebin.com/Nc0E8Bip
    Both conversions attempted with MVMC3.1. Common error between them is
    12/24/2014 08:25:36 +00:00  [7]  VERBOSE:    Microsoft.Accelerators.Mvmc.Engine.DiskCopyFailureException: The virtual disk(s) attached to the source virtual machine were not successfully converted to VHD(s) and copied to the
    workspace folder path. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be
    translated.
    I retried using 5nine converter and it worked this time, not sure why. Will not try a test with a BSD based distro (pfSense) and Linux.

  • I currently run Windows 7 on my iMac using the Parallels software on a Virtual Machine. I now wish to use Windows through bootcamp. How do I remove windows from the Virtual Machine

    I currently run Windows 7 on my Imac through a Virtual Machine format with the Parallels software. I now wish to remove Windows from the VM restore the Hard Drive to a single partition then install windows 7 using bootcamp. How do I go about it

    The virtual machine isn't a partition on your hard drive, it's just a file. You can delete the vm by going into Paralells preferences or just drag t to the trash. Bootcamp will partition your hard drive for a Win 7 install.

  • Help Requested - Creating Solaris 10 x64 Virtual Machine on an ESX Server

    Hi All,
    I have been trying to create a Solaris 10 64 bit Virtual Machine on ESX and VMWare server Virtualization Platform.
    One of the forum entries said - The installer doesn't really care. At every boot, the processor type will be determined and a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel will be run (unless you override it)
    I hence downloaded the iso from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp and I installed it. When I run uname -a command on the terminal, this is what is displayed -
    SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
    This indicates that the kernel is 32 bit right?
    Please help me create the 64 bit VM.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Raj.

  • How to install windows 7 32 bit virtual machine on windows 7 64 bit

    Wondering what would be involved in installing windows 7 32 bit as a virtual machine on a windows 7 64 bit laptop, trying to continue to use software that only has 32 bit drivers to talk to specialized hardware before scrapping the hardware.  Drivers
    are not updateable due to the company no longer exist.  Being forced to do this since I am using windows XP to currently do this and will have to stop using XP by 01Apr2014.
    thanks for any help

    If it's special hardware, your chances are small for it to work in a
    virtual machine.  Some USB devices might work, but Virtual PC can't see
    the real hardware on the host.

  • How do i install reader in a Virtual Machine

    I am a developer and need to install reader in an XP virtual machine running upon my Windows 7 desktop
    I need to test out acrobat and IE 8
    It gets to 34% downloaded and then fails.
    In the xp machine i have turned off the firewall and removed the anti virus software
    In the windows 7 machine i have turned off the firewall and turned off the anti virus software
    Any other suggestions?

    Download it on the host machine from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then copy it into VM.  Or run it in VM directly from the host folder.

  • How to access PS(32) in XP virtual machine under Win7(64)?

    I have a PC running 64-bit Windows 7 and Photoshop CS4 std. (both 64- and 32-bit versions installed).
    My HP z3100 printer drivers are 32-bit (64-bit unavailable until june 2010)
    I loaded the XP virtual machine and downloaded the existing HP 32-bit drivers there, thinking I could print in that environment.
    Using explorer, I found PS32 on my 'real' machine, but attempting to start it results in an exception. Bridge CS4 works ok.
    1. Am I doing the right thing to print this way? I don't think I can load those drivers into my 64-bit environment.
    2. Is this the right way to access my PS32?
    3. If so, why does it crash? If not, what should I be doing?
    Thanks

    Adobe kindly increased my activation count. Here is the last part of my chat:
    Kesavan: It is activated already on the 1st machine.
    Eric: Then why doesn't it work?
    Eric: It *does* work in the 64-bit part of the machine; it does *not* work in the 32-bit part
    Kesavan: I understand that it takes as two activations and you need to deactivate it from any of the machine to get it activated on the other.
    Eric: Yes that is the standard protocol. But it does not apply here. This is new.
    Eric: I do not want to go into 64-bit PS to deactivate it every time I start the 32-bit version, then do the same thing in reverse on the way out.
    Kesavan: As we value your business with us as an one time exception I've increased the activation count by 1 and now you can go ahead and get it activated without any issues.,
    Eric: okay let me try.
    Eric: Yes that worked. Thank you. Please consider this situation carefully - it will occur again (other users).
    Eric: Thanks again
    Kesavan: You are welcome.

  • How do I create different alert sounds for various notifications?

    i'm not near the techy many of you are, but this question is way basic even for me.  sorry.  but my phone makes the same sound for every single notification, new text, appointment reminder, battery fully charged (although that one always comes if and only if i wake it up, so sometimes it is on the charger longer than it needs to be ), download complete... it is the sound i set up under the settings, but i wonder if there isn't a way to change the particular sound for certain types of notifications so when it is across the room making noise i can register what sort of notification i'm getting without dropping everything i'm doing to go stare at my phone.  and how do i get it to repeat/remind me of these notifications if i happened to miss the alert sound the first time? i am usually good at just figuring this stuff out, but at this point, my guess is it isn't possible. does this mean an app is my answer? recommendations? thanks!

    Individual text message ringtones per each contact is not a feature of the stock message application. You will need a third party text message application from the Android Market for that.
    Individual ringtones for phone calls from contacts is an option under the People/Contacts app.

  • Dedicate more CPU space to Virtual Machine

    Hi,
    I have an VM with 8 virtual cores dedicated to it. The physical VM has 8 cores and it's a Xeon CPU E5-2650.
    However, when I am doing a stress test on the VM, the VM is getting really slow (normal of course) and it says CPU usage 100%.
    But, when I check the physical CPU usage (hyper-V server 2012 core - Task Manager) it says well, maximum 4% usage.. and all my other VM's are still performing very good.
    Is there a way to dedicate a much bigger part to a VM? I really need that option.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have responded to this quite a bit in this forum over the years.  (do some searches of the forum, you will find a lot of information).
    1) how are you stressing the CPU?  If your CPU test is single threaded it will not perform well in a VM, no matter the hypervisor.
    The CPU use in the VM is what the VM experiences, not the impact on the host.
    The nuts and bolts are discussed there:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1234.hyper-v-concepts-vcpu-virtual-processor.aspx
    What your VM is doing and how your application behaves (uses the processor) is highly relevant to the discussion.  As well as how you evaluate it.
    Increasing weight allows your VM process thread to cut in line of other process threads, giving more CPU time, but having a negative impact on other VMs.  Reserve will have no impact until your hypervisor runs out of CPU processing power.  Affinity
    also does not impact CPU scheduling.
    Giving your Hyper-V Server a faster CPU will always give you a win.
