I setup my first VMware Server (Dell R610 dual 6-core Xeon proc's and 12gig Ram) using ESXi and have two virtual machines running as Terminal Servers. I had been running 15-20 users on each vm and the host resources had been around 3-5gig Ram and 2-4ghz of proc.
I restarted the host and noticed in the bios that Virtual Technology was disabled so I enabled it. It's at the end of the day now and I only have 9 users between both vm's, but the host memory usage is at 9gigs and the proc is 522Mhz. This is awfully high mem usage for not having much of a load. I'm wondering if changing the bios setting after creating the VM's was a mistake. Come morning I'm going to have 40 users hitting those machines. Any advise would be appreciated.
