Adjusting the virtual machine's RAM memory settings

Last Updated : Dec 14, 2020 |

About this task

You can set the maximum amount of RAM memory that the virtual machine can use. You can also set how much of that RAM memory the platform guarantees for the virtual machine. Set these values to match the virtual server’s profile requirements. See IP Office Server Profiling.

Before you begin

  • The following processes can be used on a new virtual machine that has not been powered on/started.

  • To perform the same actions on an existing virtual machine, it must first be powered off/stopped before making the adjusting and then powered on/started again. That will interrupt all services provided by the virtual machine.

Procedure

  1. In the list of virtual machines, select the required virtual machine.
  2. Right-click and select Connect.
  3. If the virtual machine is already running, stop it by clicking the stop. This stops the services provided by the virtual machine.
  4. In the virtual machine connection window, select File > Settings.
  5. Select Memory.
  6. Adjust the memory settings to match the recommended settings for the server role. See IP Office Server Profiling
  7. Click Apply.

Next Steps

  • If doing as part of installing a new virtual machine, continue with any further profiling required. When completed, start the virtual machine (see Starting the virtual machine).
