script to check my current CPU and Memory reservations on service console

[william450]

hi there,

im looking for a script to check what the reservation is currently, we are running into problems with Vranger, just need to check that we have set all the cpu and memory to the right value,

found a couple of scripts to change it, which one do you guys use?

thank you

Not sure what you mean with CPU reservation on the console, but the console memory reservation can be found like this

PowerCLI 4.1

Get-VMHost | Select Name, @{N="ConsoleMemReservation";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.ConsoleReservation.ServiceConsoleReserved}}

PowerCLI 4u1

Get-VMHost | Select Name, @{N="ConsoleMemReservation";E={($_ | Get-View).Config.ConsoleReservation.ServiceConsoleReserved}}

Ok, go it. Those are the values for the system resources.

Get-VMHost | Get-View | Select Name,
	@{N="SystemResource CPU";E={$_.SystemResources.Config.CpuAllocation.reservation}},
	@{N="SystemResource Memory";E={$_.SystemResources.Config.MemoryAllocation.reservation}}	

Or in PowerCLI 4.1

Get-VMHost | Select Name,
	@{N="SystemResource CPU";E={$_.ExtensionData.SystemResources.Config.CpuAllocation.reservation}},
	@{N="SystemResource Memory";E={$_.ExtensionData.SystemResources.Config.MemoryAllocation.reservation}}

im trying to get the console reservation on memory and cpu?

[LucD]

Third time , good time.

Think I finally got it.

Try this

function Get-ConsoleResource{
	param(
	[parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true,Position=1,Mandatory = $true)]$entity
	)
	
	begin{
		$result = $null
	}
	process{
		if($_.Key -eq "host/vim/console"){
			$_
		}
		if($_.Child){
			$_.Child | Get-ConsoleResource
		}
	}
	end{
	}
}

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | %{
	$esx = $_
	$_.SystemResources.Child | Get-ConsoleResource | Select @{N="Name";E={$esx.Name}},
		@{N="Console Reservation CPU MHz";E={$_.Config.CpuAllocation.reservation}},
		@{N="Console Reservation Memory MB";E={$_.Config.MemoryAllocation.reservation}}	
}

If you want a specific host or a set of hosts, use the -Filter parameter on the Get-View cmdlet.

For example:

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Filter @{"Name"="esxname"}

thanks for the help, but im getting an error, what am i doing wrong

Unable to find type [parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true,Position=1,Mandatory =

$true)]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

The script requires PowerShell v2.

Try this if you're using PowerShell v1.

filter Get-ConsoleResource{
	param(
		$entity
	)
	
	begin{
		$result = $null
	}
	process{
		if($_.Key -eq "host/vim/console"){
			$_
		}
		if($_.Child){
			$_.Child | Get-ConsoleResource
		}
	}
	end{
	}
}

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | %{
	$esx = $_
	$_.SystemResources.Child | Get-ConsoleResource | Select @{N="Name";E={$esx.Name}},
		@{N="Console Reservation CPU MHz";E={$_.Config.CpuAllocation.reservation}},
		@{N="Console Reservation Memory MB";E={$_.Config.MemoryAllocation.reservation}}	
}

thanks both work and saved me hours of searching,

For those properties you need to consult the VMware vSphere API Reference Documentation.
