vSphere Config Maximums Virtual Machines

  1. How many Virtual CPUs per virtual machine (Virtual SMP)
    8
  2. What is the maximum amount of RAM per virtual machine?
    255GB
  3. What is the maximum Virtual machine swap file size?
    255GB

    **Note: Same as the maximum virtual machine memory size.**
  4. The maximum amount of Virtual SCSI adapters per virtual machine is?
    4

    **Note: Any combination of supported SCSI virtual storage controllers. FourParavirtual SCSI adapters may be used only if the virtual machine bootsfrom a device attached to an IDE controller, or from the network.**
  5. The maximum amount of Virtual SCSI targets per virtual SCSI adapter is?
    15

    **Note: Any combination of disk, CDROM or VMDirectPath SCSI target.**
  6. The maximum amount of Virtual SCSI targets per virtual machine is?
    60

    **note: (x4) adapters, (x15) targets = maximum of 60 virtual targets per virtual machine.**
  7. What is the maximum disk size per VM?
    2TB (-)512B

    **Note: Limited by maximum VMFS file size (assumes 8MB VMFS block size).**
  8. How many IDE controllers per VM?
    1

    **Note: Supports two channels (primary and secondary) each with a master and slave device.**
  9. What is the maximum number of IDE devices per VM?
    4

    **Note: Devices can be either CDROM or disk.**
  10. How many floppy controllers per VM?
    1
  11. How many floppy devices per VM?
    2

    **Note: BIOS is configured for one floppy device.**
  12. What is the maximum number of virtual NICs per VM?
    10

    **Note: Any combination of supported virtual NICs.**
  13. How many parallel ports per VM?
    3
  14. How many serial ports per VM?
