(Solved) : 64 Gb Server Use Virtualization Host Thirty Two Application Servers Plan P2v Host Applicat Q44016213 . . .
You have a 64 GB server to use as a virtualization host. Youhave thirty-two application servers that you plan to P2V to thishost. Each application server is currently on a physical serverthat has 4 GB of memory. The application servers all run WindowsServer 2008.
*Very crucial information Note: do not calculate in anyoverhead.*
- Without taking advantage of any memory optimization techniques,what is the maximum number of virtual machines you can host on yourserver? (I answered 32 as a guess because I haven’t figured out themath yet)
- With page sharing and ballooning you can take advantage ofmemory overcommit. If you overcommit memory at a 1.25:1 ratio, howmany virtual machines can you now host? (I multiplied 32 x 1.25,again I just don’t know which variables from the word problem arewhich variables in the math)
- While gathering baseline performance metrics for the move tothe virtual environment, you find that on average, each system isactually using only 1 GB of memory. Keeping the same overcommitratio, how many virtual machines can be hosted? (i got 160here)
- You decide to leave some additional memory available for growthor emergency. At a 90 percent utilization limit, how many virtualmachines can you have? (I got 144 here)
I need the math explained step by step please!
