Re: Max. PV and HVM Guests

[Moi meme <storm66@club-internet.fr>]

Hello,

The maximum is a direct function of the available memory, every new
machine "eats" some memory and when there is no more memory ......
I had some servers (64bits, 2 quad core and 32Gb Ram) running 19 VM,
2003 server, 2000 Server,Fedora, Debian all in 32bits.
In my own system I have tested with upto 10 VMs of 512M each without
breaking the system.
