How to Upgrade?
Ensure Virtual Machine are ready for the updateCompletely shutdown. No Saved State VMMerge Snapshot
Update the Host to SP1 BetaUpdate the VM Integration Services
Enable Dynamic Memory
Make sure the Virtual Machine is not running.
Startup : Min 512 MBMaximum: default 64 GB
Memory Buffer
Ideal target memory value is constantly change.Default is set to 20%
Memory Priority
Memory priority determine who will get the memory.Rules of thumb:-
Higher Priority will get memory 1st
Taken from Lower Priority VM
