• Maximum physical memory for ESXi?

  Hello.

  I have two xSeries 336 servers where I intend to install ESXi. One of them is a single processor with 2 GB of RAM, the other is dual processor with 1 GB of RAM. They are all Intel 32-bit processors.

  Now, I plan to purchase more memory for them. My question is if ESXi will have a limit of 4 GB in 32-bit platforms or if I can use up to 8 GB on each server (as I could do if I was running Windows 2003 with the pae option).

  Kind regards. Sergio.

  Have a read of the document Setting Maximums for the Max RAM Oh and you can check the VMware systems compatibility matrix for your x 336 servers...

  Thank you

• 12 GB of RAM is "not enough physical memory" for a 2-GB virtual Machine?

  I run VMware Player 6.0.3 on Windows 64-bit 8.1. My host has 12 GB of physical memory and my virtual machine uses 2 GB memory. And yet, I can't start my VM because VMware has said "not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings".

  According to the Windows Task Manager, only 15% of my physical memory is reserved for the current enforcement process. So, how is it possible that I don't have enough RAM to run my virtual machine?

  This is a known issue!  Take a look at: (workaround in) Re: 8.1 Windows October rollup KB2995388 and problem with 10 Workstation

• Not able to increae virtual memory for 32 bit OS

  Hi guys,.

  I created a VM 32 bits with RHEL 5.2 and awarded 4 GB of RAM. But now when I try to increase the RAM, it is updated on inrfrasture Virtual customer, but not on the server. I can reduce the RAM value but not able to rise more than 4 GB.

  It works fine for the 64 bit os.

  Appretiate your help.

  Thank you

  The 32-bit platform has this limit.

  To see more than 4 GB, you need a Linux kernel with PAE support.

• What happens when I install 8 GB of physical memory on a 32-bit platform

  I know that a 32-bit platform only allocate 4GB maximum. physical memory, if I install 8 GB of physical memory in a 32-bit operating system, what will happen?

  Only about 4 GB of memory will be allocated, just as you said.

• Relationship between physical memory and oracle initialization parameter

  Hi all
  
  I had been confused with the oracle initialization parameter setting.
  
  When set us the oracle initialization parameter. For example: Shared pool size, db_cache_size, target memory.
  
  What to consider about the physical memory to the operating system. If so, how to address the issue?
  
  Please notify. Thank you.

  Review you mean that if the physical memory is 2gig, and you are ready to set the SGA greater than this, it will work or not, the answer would be that it would be a very bad thing to do. These parameters represent the SGA, which must be restricted in respect of the maximum physical memory available on the server.

  See the link given by Rp. From 10 g, it rarely need this kind of tuning.

  Aman...

  Understand. Thank you. Can answer me another question?

  SQL > show sga parameter

  VALUE OF TYPE NAME
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  lock_sga boolean FALSE
  PRE_PAGE_SGA boolean FALSE
  very large integer SGA_MAX_SIZE 1152 M
  SGA_TARGET large integer 0
  SQL > show the spfile parameter

  VALUE OF TYPE NAME
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  chain of SPFile

  in the above scenario, the database do not use EAMA and spfile
  If I wan to increase db_cache_size parameter, do I rebounce instance?

  Could be very easily answer this question for yourself by searching for the parameter in the docs. See here,
  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/initparams052.htm#REFRN10033

  Its a dynamic parameter and does not need a db bouncing to change.

• Total physical memory and the total virtual memory

  Hello

  When I checked the repressive information of my laptop computer on which Windows XP SP3 installed, I discovered that RAM is of approximately:

  Total physical memory: 2.048 MB
  Available physical memory: 1.32 GB

  Total virtual memory: 2 GB
  Total available memory: 1.96 GB

  As this screen shot in Arabic shows:

  

  I don't really know what mean these four memories.

  It would be very much appreciated

  Physical memory is actual RAM that is installed inyour PC is fast enough with respect to access to the data

  Virtual memory is not physical in terms that you can't touch it or remomve it. Vitutal is a section of hard disk space unused which is used on-site for faster physical memory that your PC does not have memory.

  Because the hard drive is slower interms of access data to physical memory, your PC will see improved performance by adding or replacing existing physical memory with amounts more or more (512 MB or more)

  Virtual memory allows your computer to always run, but at a slower speed when you run applications that have used all of the physical memory. Remember, even before starting a program already running the operating system and other services which each allocate a block of physical memory for themselves. You can see exactly how much is used by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL and display of the process tab and the performance tab.

  You can easily determine what your need to add to your PC memory by visiting a site like Crucial.com which allows you to scan your pc for the type of memory used.

• VMware Workstation 10 - not enough physical memory...

  So, I'm aware of the Windows KB2995388 8.1 update that causes this problem:

  Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings. To solve this problem, decrease the size of the memory of this virtual machine at 460 MB, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 3296 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap. It is possible that native and/or services applications have locked memory which could help launch the virtual machine. Close unnecessary applications or services can free up enough memory to start this virtual machine. If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

  but after upgrading my OS today I have the same symptoms and can't find installed KB2995388.

  I tried running VMware Workstation as an administrator with no luck either.

  Y at - it no alternative workaround, or is there an another Windows update that can cause this problem?

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  Yes, other updates can cause the same issue, because the change that was made in KB2995388 was incorporated in to many other more recent updates as well.

  What version of Workstation do you run?  If you run Workstation 10.0.4 or newer on Windows 8.1, this should no longer be a problem.

• After the crash of the system, Workstation 10 reports "not enough physical memory is available" - how to fix?

  On a Windows Pro 8.1 with 32 GB memory main system, I was running three virtual machines on 10 workstation.  Then we had a power failure and the system crashed.  Once the power was back and I restarted, any attempt to run a virtual machine failed with the following (change numbers) message:

  Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

  To solve this problem, decrease the size of this virtual machine to 988 MB memory, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 1219 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap.

  This occurs if the virtual computer, I try to start is one of those that was going or who was not working at the time of the accident.  In this case if I am as an administrator or not.

  I checked Edit/Preferences/memory, and reserved memory is set to 24480 MB - 24 GB.  Can I run a virtual machine if I set the memory size to below the value indicated in the message (in this case, 988 MB).  Of course, I don't want to run like that!

  The Windows System Control Panel reports (almost) complete 32 GB system memory. Task Manager indicates that only 7% of close to 32 GB is in use.  "About VMware Workstation", reports 32640 MB.

  How can I fix it?  I'm basically dead in the water.

  Bob

  You may encounter the same problem that others have reported in this other thread: Windows 8.1 October rollup KB2995388 and problem with 10 Workstation

  Try the workaround it and see if it helps.

• HP Proliant ML350G6 with windows server 2008 standard 32-bit memory system installled is 22 gb but the physical memory is only show 4095 MB

  We are facing problems of physical memory to the hp Server model: HP Proliant ML350G6 with windows server 2008 standard 32-bit.
  The memory of the system installled is 22 gb but showing physical memory is 4095 MB only.pls give me the solution for this.

  * original title - NOT of the PHYSICAL MEMORY MONTRANT CORRECTLY *.

  According to this the max is 4 GB for this version and 32 GB for 64-bit. You need to install 64-bit

• Error: "no physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

  I have a stable system that works with a processor E6300, card mother evga 680i, graphics card 8800gts and 8gbs of RAM running on ulitmate windows 7 (32 bits - I decided to re - install with 64-bit to use the extra 4 GB of RAM, after I deal with the question below).

  I recently tried to add an adapter of Intel RS2WC080 SAS/SATA controller in a PCI express slots on the card mother 680i. I know that the card works (such as "it works very well in another motherboard), but for some reason when I put it in the 680i mobo I get the following message appears when I try to start windows. (i.e. the raid controller has no windows on the disks. I always use original hard drive always connected on the same Sata port on the motherboard)

  "No physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

  I tried to turn off virtually everything I could in the bios of the motherboard as an experience (including the things I needed). I also disabled the Intel RS2WC080 card bios.

  I'm puzzled. So what I want to know is simply a hardware compatibility problem, or is there some kind of workaround I can run in windows 7. For example, is there maybe some sort of way for her to start using a different memory location than its currently using? (Or is it something error message related to the memory of the bios that can only be overcome with software?)

  Thanks for any help.

  I tried to disable everything in the bios... including the things I needed. No luck

  Thank you very much for the reply Chris but I don't have abandoned bascially. Right now I guess the card and the 680i have some kind of incompatibility and I will just get a different mobo.

• How to check the ESX memory for errors?

  Hi all

  I found the suggestion to check the ESX memory for problems.

  I found the information that ESX 3.0 was ramcheck service which could check the memory, but there is no such service in future versions of ESX.

  Could someone help me find how to check the memory without stopping the ESX Server (I could not migrate virtual machines per host)?

  The only way you will get a true test of the memory of the HOST must stop it and run the test directly. Any tool running in the ESX console will only have indirect access RAM. The vmkernel controls access to physical RAM.

  Note: the manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

  Usually, just by pressing F11 continuously during the computer startup to display a boot menu offering the option you need.

  You may need to contact the manufacturer of your hardware (Dell) to see what options they have to repair Windows.

• Maximum RAM for 32-bit Vista Home Premium OS with SP2

  I installed SP2 on my Vista Home Premium computer.  I have a HP Pavilion dv6646us that comes with 2 GB of RAM.  I want to switch to 4 GB, as my computer has been slowing down lately.  The Task Manager icon has had 100% CPU usage.  I read that a 32-bit system reads no more than 3 GB of RAM, but when I did a scan of the system, it was recommended, I'm going up to 4 GB, and I know that the computer can take the physical memory up to 4 GB.  Should I go to 3 GB?  My computer will use the 4 GB?  Or I'm wasting money to no effect?

  Thank you

  Adam

  According to HP, your computer can be upgraded to 4 GB total, no need to mess with the BIOS
