Solved: where do i find the vcpu value?

daniel_klein · ‎Dec 13, 2019

Hi all,
for a SLES license consumption we need to determine the vcpu for virtual machines. I am not sure which value i can use because there is no explicit vcpu value in the inventory informations - or i am just not seeing it 😉

...and yes the vCenters is connected.

If you are looking for the number of virtual CPUs assigned to a virtual machine, you would find that in the Processors property on the inventory device record for the virtual machine:

Hi Daniel,

From FNMS perspective, VMs are "Compliance Computers" with some additional data. Therefore for every VM an entry exists in the "ComplianceComputer" table. All CPU details should be in there. Some of the additional data in "VirtualMachine" will be CPU-related, like CPU affinity and core affinity.

Are you missing CPU details from the FNMS WebUI?

Best regards,

Markward

Hey,

thanks @ChrisG , that's the confirmation i was looking for 🙂

@mfranz i have all the informations in the Hardware tab, but yes, i am missing values at the VM properties tab like CPU affinity and Core affinity. Everything else looks good to me. Maybe'll open a new question for that.

Thanks to both you guys!
