Vmware guided Consolidation Step by Step

General scenario where guided consolidation is useful.

if you have some number 10 to 20 physical servers in a

data-center and you want to consolidate them

( Consolidate means turning physical servers to virtual )

Then Vmware guided consolidation is useful.



For guided consolidation of data-center 3 steps are involved

FIND , ANALYZE and then CONSOLIDATE.

first the find process involves finding of all physical servers

that needs consolidation.

Then GC ( guided consolidation ) will analyze performance data on

those physical machines for period of time .

Then physical resources are compared to Virtual resources weather t

the required resources are available.

This Guided Consolidation is Free but available only for Vsphere.

vCenter Guided Consolidation is a plug-in to Vsphere

make sure this plug-in is installed.

Then

Collector Service,
Converter Service, and
vCenter Server

Should be running ( check this in Vcenter configuration )


From there in Vcenter got to

Home > Solutions and Applications > Guided Consolidation

from there it is pretty self explanatory we can follow

the step by step procedure as we do for installation.

How to Use a USB device with ESX step by step

 For a specific VM

a) go to add hardware
b) in Device type select USB controller
c) Then associate any installed USB to the VM as required.


I am answering the doubts you get below :) .

No need to shutdown VM to add USB device.
virtual hardware version 7 is required.
USB device can be associated with only one virtual machine at any time
if hot add feature is enabled for that VM
that is,  if hot add of Processor or Memory is enabled for that VM , the USB device must be removed before using hot add functionality.
(If not you may receive serious data loss so be careful )

We can use USB device for DRS but its not recommended.
( for using this we should turn off  DPM ( distributed power management )
as USB device doesn't work in power saving mode ... :)
