Issue
How to configure PCT memory in Hyper-V.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Project Configuration Tool.
- Hyper-V
Cause
There is more memory available but PCT 2.0 can't start more servers.
Example: Users with over 8 GB of memory can't start more than 36 servers.
Resolution
This is because the default memory is set to 8GB, approximately 36 servers. (8GB - 2GB)/.170 GB = 36 server.
- Open the Hyper-V Manager
- In the left panel, right-click on "pct" and select Settings. The Setting dialog box opens.
- In the left pane, under Hardware, select the Memory item. The memory settings open in the right panel. The RAM shows 8192 MB(8 GB * 1024 = 8192 MB), the "Enable Dynamic Memory box" is checked, the Minimum RAM is 8192 MB and the Maximum RAM is 262144 MB(256GB *1024 = 262144 MB).
- Enter the amount of memory assigned to PCT, 10240 MB(10 GB) in the example. If the "Enable Dynamic Memory" box is unchecked, the memory assigned to PCT will be 10240 MB.
- If the "Enable Dynamic Memory" box is checked, the memory assigned to PCT will be between 8 GB and 10 GB(not 256 GB or other amount because the limitation is set at 10 GB from the RAM setting above). R&D recommends not using "Enable Dynamic Memory".
