Hyper-V takes up all available memory

Question

Microsoft

Hyper-V is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with 8 GB of RAM, and Linux Centos 6.0 on it, which has 2 GB of RAM added.

So this is strange: on the host machine, the total processes consume about 1 GB of memory, plus another 2 GB for the virtual machine, but in total 7.5 GB are occupied and about 600 MB are free. It is not subject to the laws of arithmetic or logic.

Google searches turned up no results. Can, who faced?

Answer 1

In Windows, in the task manager, we clap the resource monitor button, go to the memory tab, everything is painted there. If it seems a little, read the branch on the technet, there was a similar problem, but it turned out that the hardware was to blame. But we have sorted out a lot of options, you will definitely find something useful for yourself.

Answer 2

As long as everyone has enough memory, don’t bother, even if all the memory is occupied, if everyone has enough then everything is OK, some programs reserve themselves for the future (we won’t go far, I don’t know about hyper-v, the opera eats up to half a hectare not asked to share). Another thing is if there is no memory and because of this, other programs slow down, here you already need to panic! Do you really feel sorry for the free memory? Some reserve in advance so that they can start as quickly as possible later (I think this applies to virtual machines)
