Thanks Tino! In contrast with what it's written on the documentation *it is possible* to connect to the ESXi hypervisors machines via ssh and launch commands (but only as root user). I noticed that on the ESXi 4.1 machines that we got installed there is a nice program called esxtop which can also b

Thanks Tino, That is probably more a problem of libvirt, since VMWare IM Driver use it in order to access information about the hosts. In order to get information about the hosts OpenNebula launches a virsh command and parses the output. The script that does this work is located in $ONE_LOCATION/li

Hi Luigi, There is a bug in the IM driver for VMware, is not reporting the Free memory at all. I've opened a ticket to keep track of the issue [1], it will be solved in the next release. Regards, -Tino [1] http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/481 -- Constantino Vázquez Blanco, MSc OpenNebula Major

Ok, I tried some tests today. The hardware/software environment includes 2 cluster nodes (ESXi 4.1), 2Gb of RAM, 2 AMD Opteron 246 Processors (2GHz), trial version licenses. The opennebula installation is *self-contained*. 800MB of memory are used by the hypervisor itself (that info comes from vSph

Hi, You have to add also de CPU capacity for the VM (apart from the number of virtual cpus CPUs). The CPU value is used at the allocation phase. However you are specifying MEMORY and should be included in the allocated memeory (USED MEMORY in onehost show) So I guess there should be other problem

Hi, I noticed a serious problem about the usage of VMWare ESXi 4.1 and OpenNebula 2.0.1. I'm actually using the VMWare driver addon which can be found on the opennebula website (ver. 1.0) and libvirt (ver. 0.8.7). It happens that OpenNebula can't get information about the usage of resources on the
