Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to know how much memory I can use for my VMs, until now I am almost blind and sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't.

Yesterday I tried to create 4 VMs with each 2.5 GB on a 16GB host and the last one failed to provision, I had to reduce its memory to 2GB to make it work, without that the VM was shown as runnning but was really not: "vmadm info" hanged, no network up, "vmadm console "did nothing.

In this case sometimes I see the provisioning of the VM failed (as shown in vmadm list) and other times it appears to work but the VM is in a hald dead state like above.

We are a small company and we would really like to use as much as possible our current hardware resources, that's why I am looking for a way to estimate what ZFS and the host need/use.

Unless you are forced to deploy windows VMs, the best way to get the most from your hardware is to use native or LX brand zones.

Zones are significantly lighter in their resource requirements, especially RAM.
