Hi,
I want to run several Vitual Machines, one of which needs the highest performance the others don't. Is it possible with VMWare Workstation 7.1 to configure an individual virtual machine to stay in memory and allow the others to be swapped out if needed?
Thanks
Simon Farmer
Something like this is possible, called memory overcommitment, but that will also affect the host performance and thereby the performance of the one guest which should stay in memory. The host ist doing the swapping using thehost disks.
Unlike ESX(i) you can't set a memory reservation, forcing the one guest to receive all the memory, so it might happen, that something of this guest is swapped out also to serve another guest.
What about simply shutting down the other guests?

on a Windows host you would add
mainmem.useNamedFile = "false"
to the vmx-file of that Hi-performance VM
how does your config.ini look like right now ? - please post a vmware.log
