Hyper-V server 2019 - Max RAM for guest limited to 12 GB?
- Pretty sure the wizard is in MB, so 12GB would be 12,288 in the wizard. Other option is to provision the VM and then change the settings with PowerShell
CorpCale CEO Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. My issue was that in fact I had no issue. I just did not pick up that the maximum was in MBs. Just because the number was big I though it was 12 GB but in fact it is 12 TB. This is even more confusing as a VM can't support 12 TB RAM!!
Anyway thanks for you reply!!
SamSKG thanks for the update much appropriated. I hopefully this will give you some insight into memory allocations in balancing your hyper-v resources for future reference. feel free to ask any question and i'll help if i can. I love hyper-v and i'm using the 2019 DC edition which i'm testing containers on, however not sure if hyper-v server 2019 supports this has 2016 didn't hence i upgraded to full server with server core install. maybe this is something to consider if your going down the docker or windows containers route at some point from a windows perspective.
actually when you get a chance could you do a Get-WindowsFeature and see if containers appear in the list on windows hyper-v server 2019, thanks
