This is probably a question for VMware support staff ...
Ispend way too much time on a problem with WS 8.0.1 on a 2008 R2 host recently.
For unknown reasons this system could use only about 2 Gb of the the installed 16 Gb RAM.
Only setting up the system for extreme overcommiting of RAM by using very very low values for
prefvmx.minVmMemPct =
allowed to run more than one VM.
I looked for the usual suspects like Symantec Endpoint Protection, Commodo, fixcamera.exe , HP Management suite ...
But found nothing.
Only "fix" was to revert to WS 7.1.4
What else should I look for ?
