Virtual machine settings

The following virtual machine settings can be configured.

Storage

Initial setting: the default storage of the virtualization server if the new machine is created on the

virtualization server. Otherwise the current user's documents folder.

This is the place where the new virtual machine will be created. Whether you can change the storage

on the virtualization server or not, depends on the virtualization product brand and settings. VMware

ESX may have multiple storages. A Microsoft Hyper-V server enables creating a new virtual machine

in any local folder.

Memory

Initial setting: if not contained in the backup, the default setting of the virtualization server.

This is the amount of memory allocated to the new virtual machine. The memory adjustment range

depends on the host hardware, the host operating system and the virtualization product settings. For

example, virtual machines may be allowed to use no more than 30% of memory.

Disks

Initial setting: the number and size of the source machine's disks.

The number of disks is generally equal to that of the source machine, but might be different if the

program has to add more disks to accommodate the source machine volumes because of limitations

set by the virtualization product. You can add virtual disks to the machine configuration or, in some

cases, delete the proposed disks.

Implementation of Xen machines is based on Microsoft Virtual PC and inherits its limitations: up to 3 IDE disks

with a maximum size of 127 GB and 1 processor. SCSI disks are not supported.

Processors

Initial setting: if not contained in the backup or the backed up setting is not supported by the

virtualization server, the default server's setting.

This is the number of processors of the new virtual machine. In most cases it is set to one. The result

of assignment of more than one processor to the machine is not guaranteed. The number of virtual

processors may be limited by the host CPU configuration, the virtualization product and the guest

operating system. Multiple virtual processors are generally available on multi-processor hosts. A
