Using this test, you can determine whether or not the Dynamic Memory feature is enabled on a virtual machine, and if so, assess how well that feature works. In the process, you can also ascertain the following:

• Isolate resource-hungry VMs;
• Understand the Dynamic Memory configuration of each VM;
• Figure out whether this configuration needs to be fine-tuned to facilitate more efficient and effective resource-sharing among VMs.

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.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

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.
