what is the utility of RessourceAllocation (memory). Limit or unlimitted ?

[plaurent49]

In Virtual Machine Properties, Ressources.

In Memory / Ressource Allocation,

What is the utility of Limit or Unlimited ?

Is it usefull ? Which cases ?

We have unlimited selected, does it mean that Windows 2003

is able to use the memory it wants ?

We try to tun our VM for Memory Allocation on Windows 2003...

Thanks for any idea.

Limit is a cap on the consumption in megabytes of the virtual machine. Use this Setting if this VM almost always consumes a lot of RAM.... if it does, it may not be a good candidate for virtualisation.

Reservation is the amount of memory reserved for this virtual machine. This VM's reserved memory cannot be donated to any other VM.... use this when a particular VM must have this amount of memory.

Shares: the more shares a VM has, the more times this VM will win if there is competition for memory. Use this if access to RAM is critical for this VM
