Hi I have following dedicated server,
Dual Intel Xeon 5639
2.13Ghz - 2 Processors
12 Cores / 24 Threads
24GB DDR3 RAM
2TB SATA|| 7200RPM
1Gb Dedicated Port.
Windows Server 2008 R2 64-Bit Standard Edition.
I have configured HYPER-V on this server. Right now i have added few virtual machine on this HYPER-V server.
Configuration of all VM are as follows.
Windows server 2003 Standard Edition.
512MB Ram
Hyper-V Settings:
Processor
1]No. of logical processor - 1
2]Virtual Machine Reserve(%) - 0
3]% of total system resources - 0
4]Virtual Machine Limit(%)- 100
5]% of total system resources - 4
Using above settings for all VM, I should be able to run around 20 VM on this server without any processor overload problem. But after running more than 11 VM (remaining 9 VM status is off) simultaneously with 60% processor load on each VM. All apps & system resources running slow in each VM. If I am correct i have 12 physical core, this give me 12X8 = 96 virtual processor count on this server. I have given only 1 virtual processor to each VM, total of 11. It should be enough cause each VM never using more than 60% virtual processor load(Also 512MB RAM is never used as full. Around 50% max is used). On Hyper-V Dedicated server nothing is running except Hyper-V. I have restarted my dedicated server each day. But it still shows this problem. I have increase each VM logical processor count from 1 to 2. Still same problem. How can I make correct settings for each VM in my dedicated server HYPER-V, so it can run 20 VM without any issue?
