MultiExcerptName Hyper-V Hardware Requirements
Configuration  Requirement Processor 2nd Generation Intel Core or Intel Xeon Processor (Sandy bridge or later) RAM Each  Spacevars 0 series3  instance requires from 1.5 GiB to 4 GiB of RAM depending on the configuration Drive Space Hard disk requirements are dependent upon the number of VMs hosted, the size of each VM at full size, and whether checkpoints will be enabled. Architecture 64-bit Intel processor Host OS Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Minimum Hyper-V hosting requirements are posted by Microsoft. Info The  Spacevars 0 series3 does not support execution within a Hyper-V cluster, as defined at technet.microsoft.com.

Recommendations for

Spacevars
0 series3

General Recommendations

• Plan enough resources (RAM, CPU, NIC ports, hard disk, etc.) for all the virtual machines (VMs) to run on a server, including resources needed by Hyper-V itself.
• Allocate each VM with only as much virtual hardware as that VM requires. Adding excess resources may not result in improved performance nor will improved performance or feature difference be supported. Refer to the SBC SWe Edge Performance and Capacity for sanctioned VM sizes and supported performance against sanctioned VMs.

• Disconnect or disable any physical hardware devices (Floppy devices, Network interfaces, Storage controllers, Optical drives, USB controllers, etc.) under BIOS settings that you will not be using to free up interrupt/CPU resources.

Virtual Hard Disk 5 GiB

 

Additional Information

• Minimal networking configuration requires the Management Network Interface and at least one Media Interface to be assigned.
• Each
