Insert the following code into the *.VMX file: | |
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE" | |
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE" | |
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100" | |
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE" | |
mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE" | |
mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE" | |
priority.grabbed = "high" | |
priority.ungrabbed = "normal" | |
* sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE", by disabling memory sharing your guests will not share common memory blocks. Your VMware product will also stop comparing memory blocks | |
* mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE", doesn't use named-file - use for VMs on USB-disks or other slow disks. On Windows: useNamedFile= "FALSE" causes memory to be backed by the host's swap space. | |
* prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100", fit memory into RAM. Whenever possible, avoid settings lower 100%. | |
* MemTrimRate = "0" , by disabling MemTrimRate, memory allocation inside the guest is faster because it doesn't take and give memory to the host os upon all requests. | |
* prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE" , this tells VMWare whether to use a fixed sized memory chunk or balloon and shrink memory as needed. | |
* mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE" , do not take snapshots in background | |
* mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE" , do not restore snapshots in background | |
* priority.grabbed = "high" , sets the priority for the VM in grabbed state | |
* priority.ungrabbed = "normal" , sets the priority for the VM in ungrabbed state. |

Hi, I made a vmx automatically editor for you
