Hi,
I have the following operating system.
Edition Windows 11 Pro for Workstations
Version 21H2
OS build 22000.556
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.556.0
Host OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 3.40 GHz
RAM: 128 GB
VMWare: 16.2.2 build-19200509
It defaults at:
MEM: 2GB
Processors: 2
Number of cores per processor: 1
Guest OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard and Windows Server 2022 Standard
In this configuration it goes well I install all updates etc.
Now problem happens if I increase the number or processors to a total 8 cores.
And if I increase the ram.
Then the VM seems to have performance issues - like really slow booting up etc. Plus also have had the send ctrl-alt-delete not respond. (Some of the performance issues I have to more testing as well to work out symptoms).
BTW I am not running anything else on the host at the time.
I then can seem to have performance issues. Plus this can be the only guest running.
Now given that my host has CPU wise:
1 Socket
16 Cores
32 Logical Processors
My question is in regard these operating systems as a guest. Are they designed to be able to handle
this type of increase without difficulty (or have I got some other issue going on).
If these operating systems are designed to handle this or should I be doing it a different way?
How I change settings etc (increase things in steps etc).
BTW: This is the most important question I want to see if these OS's are designed to be changed like this (can they handle it).
Or do I really need to be able to set these things at the start RAM and CPU and not change them.
If this is an issue with my setup any ideas suggestions I can try to resolve.
Thanks,
Ward.
