What are the limits of RAM on ESXi install

Hi all

I'm a nubie here, and I am trying to determine how much RAM I can use with ESXi.

I'm installing on a HP DL360 G4 that can handle 8GB, but I read that ESXi can recognize only 3.5 GB.

Any truth to that?

In the affirmative, then a 64-bit version more to manage? If so, it can handle 8GB?

My apologies if this is a basic question, but I got lost in the documentation. J

ESX (i) 3.5 can manage up to 256 GB per host - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_config_max.pdf.  If ESXi sees only 3.5 GB then it's a problem with the host only present as ESXi.

    There is unfortunately quite hard limits, for example 8 GB vRAM, it's the total amount of RAM to virtual machines. I suggest that you look at version 4.1 and not 5.0.

    (VMware is however always claim that the virtual machines on the free vSphere Hypervisor could use unlimited RAM. It is probably not correct.)

  • What are the limits of the resolution of Photoshop Mix?

    I generated a .psd 2 layer on my Windows desktop that was size 8 x 10 to 300 ppi. Size about 23 MB of the file.

    I opened in Photoshop Mix on the iPad and made a montage.

    When I open the file on my desktop, it was resized to less than 50% of the resolution (from 3300 x 2474 to 1518 x 1138, about 10 MB).

    Is there a limit of resolution? I can't find any documentation on it.

    -If the limit of resolution is in fact this low, then the app is designed only for online vs print jobs and should be clarified.

    Thanks for any help!

    My apologies for the cross-validation:Photoshop mix on ipad - what are the limits of resolution?

    Hello

    Thank you for your interest and support on our application. We apologize for all the inconvenience. In order to correctly answer your question, could you be more specific on how you saved your file, it saves to PSD or recording on film?

    If you save the file in PSD, mixture of photoshop will try to find the best resolution in limit of 4096 x 4096. Otherwise, there is a limit of 2048 x 2048, such as savings for camera roll or publish on behance.

    In both cases, registered lower resolution image may result in zooming in two layers, since the zoomed region has a much lower resolution.

    Hope that answers your question. If this isn't the case, you can post your question here and we will be happy to answer you. In addition, we will provide full resolution recording on film very soon. Please bear with us. Thank you for your patience.

  • What are the limits of the software during the 30 day trial?

    What are the limits of the software during the 30 day trial?

    The trials are fully functional.

    The only restriction is that it will stop working 30 days after its first launch.

    You remove the time limit by entering a valid serial number you get when you purchase the software. Or by subscribing to a plan of composition of cloud.

  • What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

    What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

    Thanks for a response.

    Brenda

    Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

    I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

    The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

    So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

  • Compaired to ESX ESXi what are the limits of the differences of ESXi?

    So, we have a great investment in ESX Server and now VMware released ESXi for free.

    From what I've read I can't find all the differences other than the COS.

    Is can someone please tell me why I wouldn't move to ESXi and lean on it when it's free and the support is less than half the price, it's on ESX?

    I don't see anything about the ability of VCB with ESXi, DRA/HA functionality still intact when used with vCenter?

    Today in the cost conscious times a penny saved is a good thing... Or is it!

    Anyone who had seen the differences and limitations between ESX and ESXi, I would greatly appreciate feedback...

    Take a look at this article which links Duncan to: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/09/02/esx-vs-esxi/

  • verification code 422 - what are the limits of the JVM?

    Hello

    I'm porting an application for BlackBerry 8900 using his emulator via the eclipse plugin. The application is large enough, it contains a lot of classes, some of them use a lot of static fields (mainly in the form: public final static String xxx = "yyy") and some here and there of the static methods.

    I ran into issues when I tried to run the application: 422 to xxxxx offset verification code.

    I found a few posts on the forum about this problem, but I have seen no clear solution. Someone has suggested that the source of the problem is the static methods/fields and proposed to refactor our source code to avoid using static fields. I followed technical debugging what he suggested, but it does not solve my problem. The error logged in the file '8900.bug' has changed of pointing on my course to point to the SDK classes ('Module 'net_rim_cldc_impl_softtoken' has verification errors"and"Module "net_rim_rimsecuridlib" contains errors of audit").

    I think that these errors are due to the limitations of black Berry JVM.

    I did a test program memory to display the amoungt of free memory (using "Runtime.getRuntime () .freeMemory ()" "") and it seems that it is not the limiting factor.

    (1) is anyone knows what is the verification code 422 and why this occurred on the modules of the SDK?

    (2) I tried to find the limits of the JAVA virtual machine specification somewhere in the documentation, but I can't find them anywhere. They emerge?

    (3) the BlackBerry 8900 JVM have a limitation on the number of fields/static methods that it can process?

    Right now, I'm stuck, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I found that my midlet was causing a NullPointerException in the thread who load the classes and run their static initalizer. The JVM is hung not because of the static function, but the first load of the class that contains the static function.

  • What are the limits of size of virtual machine to use the mode of transport NBD in VADP?

    We have some problem to run backup VADP with EMC² Networker 7.6.2 with a virtual machine which, in total, amounts to about 2.3 TB of data.
    The configuration is the following:

    VM (file server) running on Windows 2008 R2

    The backup server (physical) is running Networker 7.6.2 and is also host to proxy for backups VADP.

    VMware vSphere, ESXi 4.1 Update 1

    When we make a snapshot of the file server ESX, no problem.
    When we try a support VADP through Networker, it fails with the following error:

    Creating a snapshot for ' vm-2153'...»
    Task is-1% complete
    Task is 95 percent complete

    The temporary "V:\backupvmware\PWVFILE05" for VADP directory deleted.

    Other (smaller) customer VADP backups are running thin.

    Someone told me that the business day following a certain limits on the size of the virtual machine.
    He said when he sized VM is equal to 1 TB or more, we should NOT use NBD.

    Anyone explain to me or provide me with evidence?

    Yes, I think it's the best option, visitors don't like the 'limits' much, then maybe look into the SAN transport mode

    Good luck!

  • How does the new HTML5 video Support? and what are the limits?

    If the new benefit has been relased as well as many new features, including the video support HTML5 then with the new feature, here are a few new questions!

    How Edge to load the video? It is fully preloaded before Edge shows the content? Or is it more of a pregressive 'youtube' loading while playing?

    Or can choose us?

    What is the example of recommended video file size 4 MB?

    How does edge deal with browsers that only support .ogg or .webm instead of mp4?

    What about ISO & tablets support? loading time, 'delay', etc.?

    When you import an audio or video file, a group is created for you. You can import media with the same name (videosample.ogv; videosample.mp4) this group for compatibility with browsers. The corresponding format is chosen according to the browser which is in charge of the composition.

    About the WebM format - you can also add a webm file in your publication. However since it is a format of royalty, Animate will not display a live preview in the authoring tool. If your browser supports this then it will definitely play fine on the browser preview.

    You can take a look at the video lesson In - app, which is available in the Panel of lesson for more details on how it works.

    And Yes, you have options to preload for HTML5 video too, however progressive download is not available. You will need to use scripts using JS to achieve this functionality.

    Hope this helps and try this out.

  • What are the limitations of esxi hypervisor

    I want to determine what features are not available with esxi hypervisor in comparison with vSphere Standard license? What would be the reason to buy a license when I am currently satisfied with the free hypervisor?

    Any help on this appreciated that I could not find the missing features other than the VC Server Mgmt and support.

    Thank you

    This page has the ventilation kit with what each brings to the table: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/small_business_editions_comparison.html

    Made this page (in the store): http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/vsphere_purchaseoptions.html

    As soon as you want to use one of the best features, such as the management of one or more hosts with vCenter Server, you must purchase a license. You don't also get really good features such as vMotion, Update Manager, HA, DR, etc...

    The way I see it, whether it is for a business setting, purchase the appropriate license, with the SnS and vCenter Server... For home test labs, often the free version is everything you can to allow/get... Just keep in mind, that it limits what you can test in this environment...

  • What are the most important journals of ESXi for troubleshooting?

    I can't find what I'm looking online but would like to know what ESXi 4.1 log files must be checked when troubleshooting your hosts? It seems that there are so many different files until that contains what information?

    Also, when configure you a syslog server does collect only pass, core and messages of the log files or can you have collect other institutions?

    Here's the VMware KB describing all useful ESXi host log files

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalID=2004201

    I think I know once the syslog server is configured all newspapers of ESXi is pushed to the syslog server
