Hi again
IF you want to have a csv report from that use this 1 line:
$(foreach ($vmhost in get-vmhost){ $vms=$vmhost|get-vm; $vmsVcpucount=($vms|Measure-Object -Property numcpu -Sum).sum; ""|Select @{N='Host';E={$vmhost.name}},@{N='cpu count';E={$vmhost.numcpu}},@{N='Actual vCPU allocated';E={$vmsVcpucount}},@{N='Max vCPU allocation';E={$vmhost.numcpu * 4}},@{N='Available vCPU allocation';E={($vmhost.numcpu * 4)-$vmsVcpucount}} }) |Export-Csv c:\rep123.csv

Hi there,
get-vmhost | Select name,NumCpu
Greg
hm... how to goet the number of total vCPU count for each of the ESX host ?
I need to know which ESX host is over allocated.
Hi there,
foreach ($vmhost in get-vmhost){
$vms=$vmhost|get-vm
$vmsVcpucount=($vms|Measure-Object -Property numcpu -Sum).sum
""|Select @{N='Host';E={$vmhost.name}},@{N='cpu count';E={$vmhost.numcpu}},@{N='Actual vCPU allocated';E={$vmsVcpucount}}
}
Yes, that does make sense,
can you modify the script to insert two more column which:
Maximum vCPU allocation: calculated based on 4x $vmhost.numcpu
Available vCPU allocation: calculated based on 4x $vmhost.numcpu - $vmsVcpucount
Hi there,
foreach ($vmhost in get-vmhost){
$vms=$vmhost|get-vm
$vmsVcpucount=($vms|Measure-Object -Property numcpu -Sum).sum
""|Select @{N='Host';E={$vmhost.name}},@{N='cpu count';E={$vmhost.numcpu}},@{N='Actual vCPU allocated';E={$vmsVcpucount}},@{N='Max vCPU allocation';E={$vmhost.numcpu * 4}},@{N='Available vCPU allocation';E={($vmhost.numcpu * 4)-$vmsVcpucount}}
}

many thanks man !
this is just what I need.
The way i do it is just run ESXTOP
If you SSH into a host, type in ESXTOP it's listed at the very top (how many active vCPU's are working)
Running esxtop on a host is not really a PowerCLI solution. Then you better use the PowerCLI Get-EsxTop cmdlet.

Hi Albert,
Is ther any way to get cluster vcpu count...
Thanks...
Abdul
Hi Abdul,
the next PowerCLI script will give you a list of all of your cluster names and the total number of vCPU's in each cluster:
Get-Cluster |
Select-Object -Property Name,
@{Name="NumCpu"
Expression={
$_ | Get-VM |
Measure-Object -Property NumCpu -Sum |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum
}
}
Thanks you so Much,,,
I have a specific request to get Total no of vCPUand Allocated , Free vCPUs) on the cluster. PLease give me some inputs.
Thanks
Abdul
In your first question were you looking for the total number of cores in your hosts in a cluster or the total number of vCPU's assigned to the VM's in the cluster? Because the second option is what my script will give you. If you replace Get-VM by Get-VMHost you will get the total number of cores the hosts in a cluster have. I assume that you want to compare the number of cores the hosts have, with the number of vCPU's assigned to the VM's. Because you can assign more vCPU's to the VM's than the total number of cores in your cluster I think it is not correct to talk about allocated and free.
The next script wil give you the number of cores of all of the hosts in the cluster in the NumCpu property and the number of vCPU's of all of the VM's in the cluster in the NumCpuAllocated property:
Get-Cluster |
Select-Object -Property Name,
@{Name="NumCpu"
Expression={
$_ | Get-VMHost |
Measure-Object -Property NumCpu -Sum |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum
}
},
@{Name="NumCpuAllocated";
Expression={
$_ | Get-VM |
Measure-Object -Property NumCpu -Sum |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum
}
}
Thank you so much...
Hi,
Can anyone help me to know how many vCPU can be in an ESXi box. configuration below.
Sockets - 4
Cores per Socket - 4
logical processor - 16
No hyperthreading
That is hard to tell without knowing your typical workload.
You might map 1vCPU to 1pCPU, meaning no over-provisioning, which is normally underutilizing your CPU resources.
When you go for over-provisioning, you will find as many guidelines as there are design experts :smileygrin:
And truth be told, none of them knows the correct answer, since it would require monitoring your workload for a sufficiently long time.
There are some that advise to go for a 25:1 ratio, and others, the more prudent ones, that advise to go for 2:1 or 4:1.
But again, this really depends on the workload.
I personally would go for over-provisioning, and start with a prudent 4:1 ratio for example.
BUT measure the behavior of the system. Look at CPU utilisation, but also at CPU Ready, latency.... and correct if necessary-.
In short, start with moderate over-provisioning, but monitor the performance permanently, and correct the ratio if needed.

Wow... Nice Script.
Could you please help me with same format for Memory as well.
how much actual Memory on one host, Max allocation and available allocation
