the load_vmware.sh process is match the host one by one ?

Jack

Dear Sir:
I saw a lot of load_vmware.sh process when  lpar2rrd run load.sh every 20 mins  .
If I config 20 vmware host , then there will have 20 load_vmware.sh process ?
If so , How can I share the loading of many vmware hosts to collect data at the same time ?
also memory usage ?
thanks

Hi,

it is about number of vcenters.
There is 1 process per vcenter, then it is forked to 10 processes which get data per each ESXi untill all ESXis are processes (max is 10 processes).
if you have 2 vcenters then about 20 load_vmware processes will be there.
I do not think it is a big problem, processes do not require much CPU/memory, they read data from vcenter, proces it and save it.

Dear Sir:
I try to config 10 VM host and check memory usage .
I find that more than 80 process run at the same time , and use more than 64GB memory , and alos using swap space .
Is ther any way to config and reduce the usage of memory , 'casue I run out of 64GB memory .
thanks

Hi,

how many vcenters do you have?
There should not be more than 10 processes per a vcenter.
What is lpar2rrd version?

Jack

Dear Sir:
I config 73 VM host . and the lpar2rrd version is 5.0.1 .
First time when I  run out of memory , I modify the vmware.cfg file to only 10 VM host.
But I run out of 64 GB memory .
thanks

Do not you have a vCenter?
Do you have configurecd only ESXi? This is not common, if there is a vCenter managing these ESXi then you need to attache only that vCenter instead of all ESXis.
