Oh, I should say that the image with all of our engineering software in it has a Minimum RAM specified of 0 Again, why would the VCL then assign it 512MB?
Adam From: Hechler, Adam Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 9:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: RAM after capture Thanks Mike, So after I capture the image, I go into Edit Image Profiles and edit the one I just captured? I'm confused because those advanced options say "Minimum RAM." Is it not really the "minimum RAM" but rather "specific RAM?" Why is the VCL dropping the RAM down to 512MB when the original image (before capture) had 2048MB?

Edit the image profile under Manage Images, and click on Advance Options. The RAM setting there is what will be assigned to a VM whenever that particular image is loaded.

We are using VMWare Server 2 and VCL 2.2.1 I have a Windows XP image on the VMWare Server. It has a 50GB HD and 2 GB of RAM. When I capture it into VCL, it only has 512MB of RAM. All of our "computers" in the VCL are configured to allow for 4GB of RAM. Is there a flag or setting I should be checking? Do I just manually change the RAM on the vm (using the VI Client) after capturing it? I'm hesitant to manually change things due to our previous errors/issues. We have some engineering software that is definitely going to need the 2GB of RAM.
