General Recommendations

  • Plan enough resources (RAM, CPU, NIC ports, hard disk, etc.) for all the virtual machines (VMs) to run on the server, including resources needed by the host server.
  • Allocate each VM with only as much virtual hardware as that VM requires. Provisioning a VM with more resources than it requires can, in some cases, reduce the performance of that VM as well as other virtual machines sharing the same host.
  • 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.


VM Configuration Recommendations

SettingMinimum
vCPU1, 2, 4 and 10 supported
RAM

1.5 GiB to support 1 vCPU

2 GiB to support 2 vCPUs

3 GiB to support 4 vCPUs

4 GiB to support 10 vCPUs

vNIC

2 (maximum is 5)

vNICs are manually added during VM creation.  

Note: One vNIC is mandatory for management.

Virtual Hard Disk5 GiB minimum

Additional Information

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

    VM will use approximately 5 GiB of Virtual Hard Drive space. Drive size is predetermined by the imported image.
