Hi Norvin In our environment all VM computers configured with largest amount of resources (MEM, CPU) needed by an image. I.e. if you have an image which needs 4 vCPU/8GB of memory then ALL VM computers would have4 vCPU and 8GB. The VM computer configuration basically means 'up to' specified resources, it doesn't mean that all images will be loaded with max resources (4vCPU/8GB).
When you make a reservation/reload request for an image, it will be loaded on any VM computers which has adequate resources, but the image will be loaded with resources you specify for the image. I.e. you have WinXP image with 1vCPU/1GB, once you load it on a VM computer it will have exactly the resources you specified for the image (1vCPU/8GB). I hope it helps.
