Appendix B:
Reallocate RAM for Your Virtual Machine
Typically, physical servers have more RAM (Random Access Memory) than the operating system really needs. When performing a P2V conversion, SCVMM automatically sets the amount of virtual machine RAM to the amount that the physical server had. In some cases, this is more than the Virtual Server host can accommodate. You can reallocate the amount of RAM for the virtual machine through the SCVMM administrator console.
Note: These steps must be done while the virtual machine is in the Stopped state. When you add or convert a virtual machine, it will be in the Stopped state by default.
1. Open the SCVMM administrator console.
2. From the Quick Menu on the bottom left, select Virtual Machines.
3. Right-click on the name of your virtual machine; in this case, it is MEMBER_SRV1. Click on Virtual machine properties.
4. Select the Hardware Configuration tab.
5. From the left menu, in the Hardware Profile section, select Memory.
