What do you mean I need more RAM?

Yeah, it's about to be a bad day.

I'm puzzled . . .

His VMs are about to run out of RAM, and start swapping. (Or whatever happens to VMWare on a SAN.)

OK -- I see.

I don't think you can actually overprovision RAM within vmware, so really nothing will happen (it'll just use all the RAM).

Oh yes you can. LOL.

Maybe this will help.https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/m...nguage=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003470

Nah, disaster was adverted, I moved the bloating VM to a different host. If you're ballooning, you're already having a bad day.

 

[sdifox]

380GB of ram? What is that, SimEarth?

 

[mxnerd]

Probably 32GB x 12 slots? Wow!

 

[XavierMace]

Sadly 16GBx24.

Yes you can lol. ESXi will just start thrashing 30+ .vswaps and your SAN will hate you.

Ahh okay, I've never been in an instance where I've needed to (either too many hosts or too few VMs). Its good to know though!
