CPU %READY

[AliSarreshteh]

I have read Larry Loucks – Critical VMware Mistakes You Should Avoid.  He makes numerous references to CPU %READY value.  Where can one locate this information in VMWARE 4.1/5.0?

You can view it from esxtop or resxtop and from the vCenter CPU performance graphs.    Check out this link for some print screens, http://vmfaq.com/entry/42/

Hi,

Look on the guests Performance tab, you can select cpu and add the counter Ready , this will be for Real-time a value for 20 sec intervals.

You can also use esxtop on the console (tech support mode) or resxtop on a vMA.

CPU Ready Time is a measure of the amount of time that the guest VM is ready to run against the pCPU, but the VMware CPU Scheduler cannot find time to run the VM because other VM’s are competing for the same resources. One can not come up with one %RDY value because the value carries different weighting depending on the number of vCPU in the VM.The %RDY value is a sum of all vCPU %RDY for the VM.Just type esxtop on the machine ,you will find %RDY counter over there.
