How to Confirm VMware CPU and Memory Reservation from the CLI
As part of the prerequisites for deploying a Delphix Engine on a VMware host (see our documentation here - Deployment for VMware), it is strongly recommended that CPUs are reserved for the Delphix VM, and it is required that Memory is reserved.
However, as a VMware host may be managed by a separate team, it may be useful to check whether these reservations have been configured from within the Delphix Engine itself.
To confirm VMware CPU and Memory reservation
It is possible to confirm the reservation from the CLI.
-
Login to the CLI using the sysadmin username and password.
ssh sysadmin@engine-hostname
- Navigate to system.
engine-hostname> system
- Get the value for cpuReservation.
engine-hostname system> get cpuReservation 100% engine-hostname system>
- Get the value for memoryReservation.
engine-hostname system> get memoryReservation 64GB engine-hostname system>
- Alternatively, list all system properties (example output truncated).
engine-hostname system> ls Properties type: SystemInfo ... cpuReservation: 100% ... memoryReservation: 64GB memorySize: 64GB ... engine-hostname system>
