VMware vCenter 7.0.0c abnormally high CPU usage<\/h3>\n

VMware vCenter 7.0.0.10600 Build 16620007 in my lab and i found that the CPU usage is abnormally high than VCSA 6.7 or 6.5. By default the CPU has 2 vCPU, where i added two additional CPU to 4vCPU. The CPU was constantly on 5-6 Ghz with 3 connected host.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if you connect via SSH to VCSA and run TOP, you see that java uses lots of CPU. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I found that WCP service is consuming a lot of CPU. The workaround is stop WPC service (Workload Control Plane service)<\/em>, this is only one-time workaround. After reboot the service is running and CPU usage is abnormally high back. But if you disable the WPC serivice = its not possilbe to put host to the maintenance mode . <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can stop WPC service via 5480 (VAMI portal) <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After stop WPC service the CPU usage is normal like 6.5 or 6.7 \ud83d\ude42 so please wait for VMware hotfix. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
