   Note

   The figures shown in this procedure are intended as examples of the user interface and might not match the presented images exactly.

2. Reserve CPU speed. For requirements details, see VMware Hardware and Software Requirements.

   1. Select Resources tab and select CPU as shown.

   2. From Resource Allocation section, set Reservation value by clicking up/down arrows or dragging the Reservation bar. 

      Note:

      Set CPU reservation to a value calculated by multiplying: (half of the number of vCPUs assigned to the VM) x (the physical CPU processor speed).

      For example, for a 4 CPUs configuration with a processor of 2.99 GHz CPU frequency, reserve "2992 * 2 = 5984 MHz".

   3. Select Unlimited check box for optimal performance.

      Reserve Memory

      
      Note:

      Use 20 GB RAM for large configurations and 17 GB RAM for small configurations. Refer to SBC SWe Performance Metrics for more information on memory required for different call capacities.

4. Select Advanced CPU. Use default values for Hyperthreaded Core Sharing Mode and Scheduling Affinity.
