I use Hyper-V Core 2012 (not R2) on a Dell Precision T7600 (a workstation). The machine has (3 x 16 GB) + (4 x 2 GB) = 56 Gb of RAM. This server hosts three VMs and each of them uses 16 GB (static memory allocation). This means there is 8 GB of RAM
available.
I want to setup a fourth VM but strangely I can't allocate more the 2GB of RAM to this VM. With such configuration, Hyper-V Core is supposed to consume 2 GB, possibly 4 but certainly not 6!
I tried various things:
-Check the available memory on the host when the three VMs are running: it show 5.7 GB available.
-Check hard disk space for .bin file created for each VM: everything fine (plenty of space available).
-No RDP is still connected.
-Rebooted the server.
Any idea why this workstation seem to lose 2~3GB?
PS: I know about Dynamic memory allocation but I don't want to use it and that not the point of this question.
