Virtualization

Diagnose an idle Windows VM that feels slow on ESXi by correlating CPU Ready, Co-Stop, storage latency, memory reclamation, network, RDP, and guest evidence.

Diagnose a TrueNAS VM that cannot see a new VMDK, distinguish the boot disk from data disks, and choose between a lab setup and HBA passthrough.

Trace vSphere Replication network errors from the correct ESXi VMkernel interface to the target VR server, verify ports, and avoid blind restarts.

Learn why eight vCPUs cannot appear as two faster cores, how Access 32-bit uses CPU and memory, and how to right-size a Windows VM with evidence.
