3.2 Virtual Environment Resource Provisioning

DRA keeps large memory segments active for extended periods of time. When provisioning resources for a virtual environment, the following recommendations should be considered:

  • Allocate the storage as “Thick Provisioned”

  • Set memory reservation to Reserve All Guest Memory (All Locked)

  • Make sure that the paging file is large enough to cover the potential ballooned memory reallocation at the virtual layer
