I am having trouble starting multiple VMs running on a network share.
The share has plenty of free space. Over 3TB of space free.
The host machine is a windows 10 machine with 32GB of ram.
Have two VMs I would like to start.
VM1 - Configured to use 16Gb of ram
VM2 - Configure to use 8Gb of ram
Both VMs should be creating .vmem files for the main memory / page file in the network share.
I start VM1 and encounter no errors.
I then start VM2 and get an error "Could not create anonymous paging file for 8192 MB. Insufficent system resources exisgt to complete the requested service..
The log shows:
2018-02-26T15:11:15.051-06:00| vmx| I125: MainMem: Unable to use remote file for paging, 'Z:\Mike\DCAT\DCATVM\564df370-a0d5-2762-762f-a2a283821ecb.vmem'.
2018-02-26T15:11:15.101-06:00| vmx| I125: Module 'MainMem' power on failed.
If I shutdown VM1 and start VM2 then it works ok.
I am not sure where to start troubleshooting.
It does not seem like it should be a issue with the host computer, but I could be wrong.
Any help appreciated.
