Thank you. Over subscribe is the term that I was needing. I reserve
the right to ask more stupid questions as we embark on this wonderful
journey........
It a great day to be a Tech Geek.

To my knowledge, yes, you can over subscribe hardware with ESXi.

Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] ESXi "Expert" needed
OK, Bob, since you are obviously ahead of me on this superhighway that
is virtualization I get to ask you a couple questions.
With ESXi do I need to "divide the hardware" or can I play "first come,
first served"?
In other words:
I have a new server with 12 GB RAM. I will dedicate 2 GB RAM to the
management software. That leaves 10 GB RAM for my servers. On this
box, I will have 2 virtual servers - one with Windows and one with
Linux. Can I assign 3 GB to the Linux server and assign 10 GB to the
Windows server (first come, first served) or must I divide with 3 GB to
Linux and 7 GB to Windows (divide)?
I know that dividing has some major advantages but so does "first come"
and we are carefully considering each. I just need to know if "first
come" is even possible with ESXi.
TIA.

OK. So who's the ESXi expert on this list? I need to bounce some ideas
off someone as we are about to embark on the virtualization road.
