I'm on Windows 10 with VMware Workstation Pro 16.1.0 build-17198959. I've created a Win 10 guest VM and created 3 linked clone from it. The three cloned VM are running in parallel and everything works. Today I need 10 VMs with my work, so I created another 7 linked clone from the exactly same snapshot. And, I place 5 of them on a SAMSUNG 960 PRO m.2 SSD drive, and the other 5 on another SAMSUNG 960 PRO m.2 SSD drive. After that, I started these VMs one by one. When I started the 7th VM, my computer got a blue screen and I have to restart it. Then I tried again, but the OS dead again and I don't know what triggered it. I checked the event viewer and found there are some related entries. But I'm not an expert on it. Could anyone help me to take a look of the events I exported? You can get it from https://disk.yandex.com/d/Tz-A1hhRrZIEGQ
I just found I can attach files to the post, so you can download directly from the attached file. In the events, the issue started at around 4:31 pm and 4:36 pm.
Btw, generally, how many link-cloned VM can be running in parallel? I have run 3 without any issues in the past. If I create them as fully cloned VMs, can I run more? My computer is pretty beefy, and I have i9-7940x, 128G Ram and a Titan V video card. How many VMs do you think I can run in parallel (Let's say I give each VM 8G RAM)?
Thanks!
