VMWARE WORKSTATION NUMBER OF CORES PER PROCESSOR INSTALL
As you can see on screen below VMware Workstation automatically detected that I want to install VMware ESXi 5.
VMWARE WORKSTATION NUMBER OF CORES PER PROCESSOR ISO
I have all ISO images located in E:\ISO and image for ESXi Hypervisor installation is named VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.0.0.update01-623860.x86_64.iso, so I indicate that as source of installation files. Now it’s time to indicate source of installation media for operating system for our new virtual machine. Click Next to proceed with New Virtual Machine Wizard. By default it is set to Workstation 9.0 and we leave it that way. Next screen gives us ability to choose hardware compatibility for virtual machine components. New Virtual Machine Wizard will start and allow you to choose Typical (recommended) or Custom (advanced) configuration for new virtual machine. For that in VMware Workstation console go to File and click New Virtual Machine…

Once software is downloaded it’s time to create virtual machine on VMware Workstation.

Once you register and download software VMware will issue serial number for ESXi as this software is available for free with limited number of features – for details check article on VMware web page “ VMware vSphere Architectures Compared“. I will show how easy is to install ESXi 5 as virtual machine on VMware Workstation 9.įirst step is to register on VMware portal and download vSphere Hypervizor (ESXi) – current version when that article is written is version 5. This can be also very helpful if we want ot run virtual appliances which are compatible with ESX only.
It can be very useful to evaluate, experiment and learn vSphere at home. Virtualization should be invisible.VMware Wosktation allows to run ESXi as virtual machine (virtual environment as virtual machine – kind of funny). “The measurement of a successful virtual infrastructure deployment is not how many VMs can be hosted per host, it’s how many users can be satisfactorily serviced without them knowing they are using virtual technology. VMs with one vCPU run more efficient and from my experience nobody seems to notice, except for – maybe, over-clockers! Rule of thumb: Keep it simple, 4 VMs per CPU core – even with today’s powerful servers.ĭon’t use more than one vCPU per VM unless the application running on the virtual server requires two or unless the developer demands two and calls your boss. I’ve had my share of complaints over slow virtual servers and believe me, you don’t want users to start complaining that your (that’s right, your!) virtual servers are slow. Sure, deploying a 100 VMs on a single host sounds good, but what kind of performance and experience will users have? My 1 to 4 ration for VM density per logical CPU is my best practice but Eric goes into much more detail.Īlways! Always! Think of the users experience when considering your best practices. What Eric has to Say about Virtual Machines Per CoreĮric Siebert has written an excellent article on called “Sizing server hardware” which goes into “nuts and bolts” details for sizing virtual host server hardware. (Newer versions of ESXi have improved this but it’s still risky to over provision.)
Over utilization of CPU cores and memory will cause system users frustration due to poor VM performance. Too many VMs or vCPU per core will cause lag and the same thing goes for over utilizing memory which is another topic of concern. Remember, you don’t want users waiting 30 – 60 seconds for a reboot, logon or screen refresh… How many Virtual Machines Per Core?įrom my experience, I know you can get anywhere from 8 – 10 vCPUs per core, but I have found a sweet spot of 4 VMs (that’s right I said VMs not vCPUs) per core will provide decent performance for the user and not affect hardware performance. Unfortunately for those who like to over-clock CPUs for gaming, over utilizing CPU doesn’t quite work the same on virtual machine hosts (ESX/ESXi/XenServer or Hyper-V). Are you trying to squeeze every CPU cycle out of your dual, quad or hex core processors for making more VMs per core?
