Performance By Design

Virtual  Processor performance monitoring When Hyper-V is running and controlling the use of the machine CPU resources, to monitor processor utilization by the hypervisor, the Root partition, and guest machines running in child partitions, you must access the counters associated with the Hyper-V Hypervisor. These can be gathered by running a performance monitoring application on the Root partition. The Hyper-V processor usage statistics need to be used instead of the usual Processor and Processor Information performance counters available at the OS level. There are three sets of Hyper-V Hypervisor processor utilization counters and the key to using them properly is to understand what entity each instance of the counter set represents. The following three Hyper-V processor performance counter sets are provided: ·          Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor There is one instance of HVH Logical Processor counters available ...
