Monitoring virtual machines
All Hyper-V hosts include virtual machine (VM) resource pools that align with the resources
that the host provides to guest VMs. These resource pools include processor, Ethernet, mem-
ory, and Virtual Hard Disk (VHD). By monitoring these resource pools, you can also monitor
the aggregate usage of the resource by the guest VMs. You can also create new resource
pools that measure a subset of a resource, such as the VHDs on a specific volume. To get a list
of the resource pools, use the Get-VMResourcePool cmdlet. The default output on a Hyper-V
host that hasn't had any configuration done is the following:
Name ResourcePoolType ParentName ResourceMeteringEnabled
---- ---------------- ---------- -----------------------
Primordial FibreChannelConnection False
Primordial FibreChannelPort False
Primordial VFD False
Primordial ISO False
Primordial VHD False
Primordial Memory False
Primordial Ethernet False
Primordial Processor False
The predefined resource pools are named Primordial to indicate that they represent the
resources of the entire host machine. To enable a pool, use the Enable-VMResourcePool
cmdlet. To enable resource metering on all available pools, use this command:
Enable-VMResourceMetering *
