Hello everyone.
We bought a few weeks ago new HP server (HP Proliant DL360R06). After that we installed VMWare ESXi 4.0 U1 for HP on that server, and started testing:
- Test host #1: FreeBSD 8.0 (64-bit), e.g. amd64, with vmware-tools installed within menu option"Install/Upgrade VMWare Tools". Result: in hosts 'Summary' tab in Guest OS line set: FreeBSD (32-bit), but all our configurations was done for (64-bit) system. And after that we found another bad moment: in hosts 'Resource Allocation' tab in 'Memory' box all host memory (after installed vmware-tools) viewed as used.
- Test host #2: FreeBSD 8.0 (32-bit), with vmware-tools and etc. Result: All Host Memory used!
I have to say, that this two test machines does not perform calculation work or allocation such a memory, but VMware vSphere Client show that they used all of there consumed RAM memory.
Question: is some one already solved this problem and may give me advice? May be we are doing something wrong?
PS: for "ESXi 3.5 FreeBSD 8 (64-bit) + vmware-tools" does not have problems, which describe above.
Thanks and good luck!
