Adjusting Resource Allocations for VM using ESXi Web Client

Perform the following steps to adjust the resource allocations for the VM.

1. Login as user root on the VMware ESXi GUI.
   1. Enter your VMware administrator user name.
   2. Enter your VMware administrator password.

2. Click Virtual Machines, and click the VM that you want to configure.

3. Click Edit to adjust the VM settings.

4. Expand the CPU drop-down menu.

   Use the default values for the Scheduling Affinity field.

   1. In the Reservation field, enter a reservation value.

      Set the CPU reservation so that it equals the physical processor CPU speed, multiplied by the number of vCPUs assigned to the VM.

      For example, a configuration of 4 CPUs with a processor of 2.99 GHz CPU frequency reserves "2992 * 4 = 11968 MHz".

   2. In the Limit field, select Unlimited for optimal performance.

5. Expand the Memory drop-down menu.
   1. In the Reservation field, enter a reservation value.

   2. In the Limit field, select Unlimited for optimal performance.

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

      For fewer than 6000 calls, the minimum reservation must be 10GB. Anything more than 6000 calls requires at least 14GB vRAM. Refer to SBC SWe Performance Metrics for more information.
