Hi, I have HP server with 12GB physical memory with WS2012 R2 with hyper-v running.
I am deploying about 4-5 CSR1000v routers which by spec requires creating VM with 4GB fixed minimum memory each. However I can not start more than 2 of them at a time because more than that, it complains there is not enough memory. I also tried to set them to dynamic memory and also tried reducing one of them to 1GB to see if it starts but no avail. I also increased the virtual memory to insane amount of 64GB-128GB using one of the available local hard disk but no help either.
Previously I used vmware esxi on same server and were able to run any number of VMs with no problem. I am pretty sure cumulative memory of the running VMs were more than physically available and i think somehow ESXi manages it.
However I think this is not happening on hyper-v by default, so i am wondering if there is any trick in doing it??
Thanks!
