Set Limits on Virtual Machine Resources

Administrators can set limits on the number of VMs deployed simultaneously, the number of CPUs, the amount of memory, and the number of disks a user can request when reserving virtual machines.

To set limits on virtual machine resources

  1. As administrator in Reservation Manager, under Administer Your Reservation Manager, click Manage your configuration settings.

    The Configure Settings page opens.

  2. Click the following links in the Virtual Machines area. Each one opens a dialog in which you can change the value and click OK.
    Maximum Virtual Center Workload
    Virtual CPU Limit
    Virtual Memory Limit
    Virtual Disk Limit

The configuration changes take effect when the next reservation is made.
