The user interface provides the management operations for virtual machines when you right-click a virtual machine. The usage and the dialogs are self-explanatory.
The following dialogs require more explanation:
Modify CPU Configuration and QoS
Specify the following values:
Specifies the number of CPU cores that are allocated to a virtual machine. The maximum number of CPU cores you can assign to a virtual machine is eight.
Example: If you set the number to five, then five CPU cores are available to the virtual machine at any time.
Specifies the minimum proportion of the physical CPU performance that is reserved for this virtual machine. The reservation is defined in the percent (%) and you can assign a value of 0, 50, or 100 percent.
Example: If you set reservation to 50 percent, the system ensures at least 50 percent of CPU time for each CPU core of this virtual machine.
Specifies the maximum percentage of CPU performance that this virtual machine can allocate.
Note: The value of the limit must be greater than or equal to the value of the reservation.
Modify Memory Configuration and QoS
Specify the following values:
Specifies the amount of memory that you assign to a virtual machine. The memory is defined in megabytes (MB) and ranges from 512 MB to 256 GB.
Example: If you set the memory to 512 MB, 512 MB is the maximum amount of memory that the virtual machine can allocate.
Specifies the minimum proportion of physical memory that is allocated to a virtual machine to its maximum amount of memory. The reservation is defined in the percent (%) and you can assign values from 0 to 100 percent.
Example: If you set memory to 2 GB and reservation to 25 percent, the system ensures at least 512 MB of memory for the virtual machine.
