Zorluk: KolayVirtual Machine Resource Requirements and Hardware Support

A desktop technician is configuring a single guest virtual machine on a workstation equipped with 16 GB16\text{ GB} of physical RAM. If the host operating system requires a minimum reserved memory of 4 GB4\text{ GB} to run reliably, what is the maximum amount of RAM that should be allocated to the virtual machine?

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D
    4 GB4\text{ GB}

Cevap

12 GB12\text{ GB}
Subtracting the 4 GB4\text{ GB} needed for the host operating system from the host's 16 GB16\text{ GB} of physical RAM leaves a maximum of 12 GB12\text{ GB} available for virtual machine allocation without causing host memory starvation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify total physical memory and host operating system requirements.
Total physical RAM = 16 GB16\text{ GB}, Host OS required RAM = 4 GB4\text{ GB}.
Host operating system memory must be reserved to maintain system stability and hypervisor operation.
2
Calculate the maximum available memory allocation for the virtual machine.
16 GB4 GB=12 GB16\text{ GB} - 4\text{ GB} = 12\text{ GB}.
Subtracting host requirements from total system memory yields the maximum safe allocation for guest virtual machines.
