Balancing Clsuter Resources on 5.1

Fully Automated and Aggressive

ok Thanks, so how can we gat it [Current Host load standerd deviation]converted with Green Balanced ?
 and in my case it is..like..

CPU -Memory
18-95
21-72
22-91
24-88
45-93
52-94
Please advise if this can be corrected by doing any more config ?

And if one host has having diff  resource config(as earlier confirmed) while other 14 have same, so what should be best config for HA and DRS ?

ok,Thanks.., So How We can we can  resolve Continuous  Memory Over commitment in same type of cluster for all the Host ?

is this not part of balancing ...for CPU and RAM on diff Host ?

If memory is at 98%, you need more memory, or hosts.

But I assume, that all VMs are being given the correct resources, Memory and CPU, and VM performance is not affected, which is what DRS does.

have few VMs with 8 VCPU and 32 GB RAM,while most of VMS are with  RAM 16 Gb,8 GB, 4 GB as well  and CPU -4

so How we can get this balanced is same cluster..as earlier i have shared CPU and RAM Utilization for all the Host in Cluster.

You cannot balance, DRS is not a load balancer.

It adjusts and moves VMs, based on delivering resources to VMs. (CPU and Memory).

32GB is very low for a hypervisors.

Add more physical memory.

As long as you memory in the host is not 100%, you should be fine.

no..that 32 GB is for VMs on Host..not for Host

As earlier confirmed ....
We have 15 Host in our cluster in 5.1 out of that 14 host have same physical memory =X and CPU =Y config.

But we have one host with Memory=3X and CPU=Y

Here X is = 4 TB RAM & Y is =36000 MHZ[32 CPU*2.261 GHZ]

DRS is not a load balancer.

If you really want to make sure that all your hosts have identical Memory and CPU.

Manually vMotion VMs between them.

my mistake ,Here X is = 400 GB RAM & Y is =36 GHZ[32 CPU*2.261 GHZ]

so we have 14+1 host in cluster,14 with above Config X & Y
while Th host is with 3x & Y

Please advise what should be best HA config for this scenario ?

Is your Cluster Balanced ?


Are your VMs receiving their CPU and Memory entitlement ?

As earlier confirmed out of 15 host 14 have same ram and memory while 15th is having triple memory and same CPU as same as we have on other 14 host.

How can we configure HA  & DRS with best config ? Snap given below.. for more detail...

Need to balance my DRS and HA with appropriate Slot Size

from the information you have provided, the VMs on your Cluster are receiving their entitlement of CPU and Memory resources which is what DRS is supposed to do, it's much better than the example I have you.

I do not see what your issue is, I do not believe you have an issue, other than wanting to ensure, you have equal resources spread across all your hosts. (which I've explain DRS is not a load balancer).

Ok, issue here is, most of Hosts are using 97-99 and sometime 100 % memory..while some are always @ 75-80 %
>at time all host are utilized with 97-99 % host memory ?
>Can we use diff conf host in vmware cluster ? like here we have 14 host of same config like RAM and CPU while 15th is with diff amount of RAM ?
>what could be impcat if we have such kind of config in clsuter.
> what should be best config to get everything balanced .if DRS is not working as load balancer and last queary is Resocure distribution is not load balancing ? whih is done under DRS.
>Here we have observed balooning and swapping  is also there in cluster.

good ,but i was looking for more info  to get this configured properly..and doc sharing that drs is not load balancer
