To start one machine is perfect.
To start a second machine causes some intermediate waiting time until work on this machine goes on.
Starting a third machine nearly stops everything (host and clients).
It looks like the memory allocation has some problems (system monitor).
Host:
ubuntu 64-bit 18.04.1
32 GB memory
AMD A8-5500
Host RAM for all virtual machines: 27692 MB
Clients:
debian9 or MintMate19 or ubuntu18
64 bit each
2 GB of memory each
OfficeApps like LibreOffice and Thunderbird, everything works perfect on its own, nothing runs in parallel.
On some days, rsync on the host for backup. A running VMwareClient does not work properly even if rsync already finished.
I love VMware Workstation Pro, thanks for this excellent product.
To use different machines is
- to separate fields of activity,
- to get knowledge in different operating systems,
- and to create small machines with little important data that can be backupped speedily.
I look forward to any idea.
