Configuration of HvMemoryTest

This test reports how the Hyper-V host uses the physical memory resources available to it, and reveals whether adequate free memory is available on the host or not.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

  • In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • By default, the ENABLE MEMORY DIAGNOSIS flag is set to No, indicating that detailed diagnosis will not be available for the Free memory measure reported by this test by default. If you want to view the detailed diagnosis of the Free memory measure - i.e., to view the top 10 processes on the Hyper-V host that are utilizing memory excessively - you can change this flag to Yes.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
