Good morning!
We just completed a migration of our main server to a VMWare environment. We want to monitor the guest OS performance in their virtual machines from the host Perfmon tool. According to the server_admin document (pg. 151 English edition) we should be able to access the statistics from VMWare performance counters added to the Host machine. Those counters don't show up.
Quick snapshot:
Host- Win2k3x64 Enterprise
8G RAM
Dual Gig Ethernet ports Teamed
Serial SCSI drives
Guest: Win2K3Standard SP1
3G RAM
VMWare Accelerated AMD PCNet
VMWare Virtual SCSI Disks
Migrated using VMWare Converter 3.0
Problem:
The VMWare performance counters do not show up in the Host Perfmon tool. I'd like very much to monitor the primary performance statistics for network traffic and disk and memory performance shown by the virtual machines.
Object: To tune performance on the virtual machines preparatory to installing/migrating new machines to the virtual server.
Thanks very much in advance!
Gregg
