VMware Essentials Plus on 2 hosts vRam question

[Booto]

I have 2 hosts with each 192GB RAM and 2 CPU's.

If I understand correctly VMware Essentials Plus has the following limitations:

max of 3 hosts

max of 192 GB vRAM

max of 2 CPU's per host

Can the 192GB be used in any way I want? For example...

- Can I run 6 VM's with a total of 72GB RAM on Host A, and run 10 VM's with a total of 120GB RAM on Host B? (Total 192GB)

- Can I run 8 VM's with a total of 96GB RAM on Host A, and run 8 VM's with a total of 96GB RAM on Host B? (Total 192GB)

- Or in case of hardware failure, can I run all 16 VM's with a total of 192GB RAM on a single host?

Hello and Welcome to the Forums!

Yes, the vRAM entitlement is "pooled", so as long as you don't exceed to entitlement you are ok.

....also, ensure you have your ESX Hosts in a cluster to utilize the 'pooled' entitlement

Yes you can, the limitation here is HOST A and B should have only 2 CPU(processors).

and as said in above the vRAM is pooled and you can use as you mentioned.
