Cannot allocate more memory to the virtual machine image

Hello

I am currently using VMWare Workstation 5.5.4.  I have a Win XP image that I run.  My host computer has 4 GB of ram (3 GB recognized by hospitality Windows OS).

Currently, I am only able to allocate a maximum of 1 372 MB to my virtual machine Image.  I want to allocate more memory to my image, as I do more memory intensive tasks to my image.  If I try to increase the amount of memory (even to 1376 MB), I get the following error message:

Any ideas on how I can increase the amount of memory I can attribute to my image?  I use only 1 image currently.

Loking at your vmware.log file, I see that you have a section "DEFAULT USER" including a "prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = line 1429". I believe that it is in conflict with the ' SITE HOST/DEFAULTS ' section which specifies "prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = 2297".

The ' HOST/SITE DEFAULTS' config.ini is the traditional config.ini file that people recommend that you edit.  On XP, it should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini

I can't tell you exactly where the file config.ini 'DEFAULT USER' is located on Windows XP as I am running Vista.  I would start by looking under C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini to see if this file exists.  Or you can search your hard drive a config.ini file that contains the 'prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = 1429"line.

I would recommend not not using the "DEFAULT USER" config.ini file at all.  In fact, on a default installation of Workstation 6.5 this config.ini file does exist.  I would recommend so transfer config.ini 'DEFAULT USER' settings to the "HOST/SITE DEFAULTS' config.ini and then delete the file config.ini 'DEFAULT USER '.

After this is done, try again and let us know if things work better.

    Dear users of Essbase,

    I am trying to implement some logic in order to get my calc done by dynamic calc and formula on members.

    My dynamic member calc with formula is not limited to offsetting the conditional statement to the role of alternative only, I see no problem.

    But in order to get the correct result, I include under condition ISMBR statement and restrict level 0 patch replacement on a sparse Member, I get this ' error Essbase (10127000): dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than the blocks [350] from the jump.

    I have CALCLOCKBLOCK with HIGH as 4900, settings default than 350. Hope this is good enough.

    Of course, JM, it was my test script.

    I would like to change my script to be the best :-).

    And I could get rid of the Essbase error in improving more all hides and CALCLOCKBLOCK parameters.

    The operating current system cann't be changed to try chaning type of dimension and other changes required for the TBLAST property. It is one of the obligation that I work. Then try my best to correct and come out with the best solution.

    It is easy to build the new app with fresh demands to try to include new features to the existing system.

  • Cannot specify a directory for the Virtual Machine

    I'm new to ESXi naked with me.  I added some records and then to browse the data store and I added the folders in there to specify the different VM..., I have a XP Win7 folder folder, etc.  When I go to create a new Virtual Machine gives me only the choice to select a data store to store the HARD drive and not the folder structure I created in the data store.  Now I can delete the virtual machine to inventory, return to 'Browse the data store' and move the files, and then add the VMX file in the inventory, but it just seems like a pain.  Am I missing something?  Really can not be complicated to arrange your virtual machines, it can?

    Yes, you cannot specify a folder when you create a virtual computer to a data store.  I guess that he has not considered to organize things at this level and honestly.  Organization is really in the 'models and virtual computers '.

    Yes - you can
    but that will make your VM very slow

    set
    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "50".

    or less - allowing you to approve the RAM

  • Could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on the virtual machine.

    VMware esx ei, 3.5.0 123629

    Moreover, given that I have 64 GB of physical memory. Is there documentation that provides a report of the maximum allowed memory configurable

    compared to the virtual memory?

    Thank you

    Ganesh.

    Ganesh,

    Memory reservations are defined based on VM by VM.

    You can allocate more memory to the virtual machines you have in your host (it's not really a good idea to go crazy with the overcommitment of memory, but some level of excessive pressure is used in general).  Memory applied to your VM resources are shares, bookings and VMkernel Swap limits.

    Just to illustrate:

    You allocate 8 GB memory to a virtual computer.  If you take all the parameters by default, ESX will allot a 8 GB VMkernel Swap file in the base directory of your VM (it will have the extension ".vswp") this VMkernel Swap file is a safety net.  Your virtual machine, at this stage, can consume up to 8 GB of memory If physics is available from the host.  If the memory of your host is overcommitted, some of the available memory 8 GB could be allocated on 8 GB VMkernel Swap file.

    If you set a reserve of memory - 2 GB - this means that the vmkernel will still award the first 2 GB of memory used by the virtual machine to the physical memory.  This is not means that the 2 GB of memory reserved is carved off the coast and completely dedicated to the virtual machine.  This means that the vmkernel offers up to 2 GB of RAM to the VM when and if she needs to use it.  It is a guarantee that the memory will be available upon request.  Because of this guarantee of the VMkernel, VMkernel swap file only has to make sure that the 6 GB memory is satisfied (4 GB total less the 2 GB reserved), so the VMkernel Swap file is only 6 GB in size.

    Actions are a mechanism for prioritization and limits are a cap on physical memory ever allocated to the VM.

    You can set up any number of memory for the virtual machines that you want - frankly, overcommitment of memory for ESX is a very good thing, but you must be vigilant about watching your systems if approve you.  If you have 64 GB of RAM, and you only configure your virtual machines to use total 32G, then you lose 32 GB of RAM.  If you allocate, say, 96 GB of RAM (total) to your virtual machines, then you look at a 50% overcommitment.  What to watch in overcommitting memory is application performance (and more importantly - perception of the user of this performance) and also the memory ballooning and VMkernel Swapping activity.  Those who can both will be in graphics performance in VirtualCenter.  I would recommend reading the Guide to management resources for more details.

    Hope that provides an overview.

    Thank you

  • The memory of the VM Machine resources

    Hello. I have a host running ESXi 3.5. It is our host of test for our own research and development. Currently, we have 4 Windows Server on this host. The PDC is a Windows Server 2008 R2 X64Enterprise kernel install. Under the tab "Virtual Machines" of the VI Client the use of memory for this virtual machine is 98%. When it was originally configured, we have allocated 2 GB RAM for this box. I would like to know if this memory usage is common in this configuration? Should I just allocate more memory for this virtual machine? Other than to be the domain controller it is the DNS server. Thanks for your comments.

    Must see inside the VM, how memory is allocated.

    For a DC + DNS 2 GB may be sufficient:

  • SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

    Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

    One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

    More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).


    Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy

    Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

    The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

    To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

  • allocate more memory for my video card

    model of my laptop is HP Pavilion dv4-1444dx entertainment notebook pc. I want to put more memory for the video card. my friend told me that I can assign more ram to my video card. I wanted to reach a certain condition for a game, but the "dedicated video memory" is only 64 MB. the allocated memory is 1.2 GB. I want to increase dedicated video memory. Help, please. Thank you.

    Hello

    Unless you see a BIOS setting allows to allocate more memory from the memory installed modules, it cannot be changed. I just checked the service manual for your laptop series. There is no setting in the BIOS, so the answer is that you can not change it.

    Your best bet is to increase the installed memory to the maximum, depending on whether your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.

    A 32-bit operating system may use no more @3.2 than GB of RAM while a 64 bit OS can use as much as the motherboard of your laptop (by design) will accept.
