VMWare Server :: VM set to 2gb RAM but vmware process shows 100mb physical, 1900mb virtual
- by brad
I've set up a VMWare instance to run CastIron Integration Appliance. I allocated 2gb of memory to the instance, assuming it would take this as physical memory (my server has 8gb total).
When I view top however on the server, the vmware-vmx process has about 100m Resident memory and 1900m Virtual.
Running CastIron it reports that the appliance often hits 50% memory usage. Does this mean I'm using 900mb of harddrive space as memory? I wanted VMWare to use 2gb of physical memory, no swap. Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?
Setup
Debian Lenny 5.0.3
VMWare Server 2.0.2
