Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring ESX Server
The amount of memory to be reserved for the service console increases to 272MB
for 16 virtual machines, 384MB for 32 virtual machines, 512MB for more than 32
virtual machines, and 800MB for the maximum number of virtual machines, so
you must adjust the size of the swap partition to 544MB, 768MB, 1024MB, or
1600MB, respectively.
To run supported applications in the service console, increase the amount of
memory reserved for the service console. To determine the sufficient amount of
memory, add the memory requirements for each application to the above
determined amount reserved for the service console.
32 Create the third partition. Set the mount point to /, the type to ext3 and the size to
about 2500MB.
33 Click OK on the Add/Edit Partition screen.
NOTE To perform a remote or scripted installation from the ESX Server machine, VMware
recommends that you allocate about 2.5GB of disk space to the service console. Running
the installation script to copy the contents of the ESX Server installation CD-ROM
requires about 460MB of space.
