Hi,
Host OS Configuration:- Windows 2008 Enterprise ,Hyper-V with KB950050 (64bit) update.
Host Hardware Configuration:- Xeon X7350@ 2.9 GHz x 4 CPU / 64 GB
I installed virtual servers on Hyper-V and found that everytime ".bin" file( with GUID) in snapshot folder ( default path is - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines - this location can be changed using the snapshot location settings in Hyper-V settings) consuming disk space exactly same as memory configured for the guest OS in host system disk.It get disappeared when the guest OS became down.
we require to configure virtual servers with 20 GB RAM or more & found it requires additional disk same as RAM allocated in host system apart from the VHD allocating.
Does this mandatory ? i didnt find any MS article stating anything about it.
there is no snapshot created in hyper-v for virtual servers anyway.
Can we avoid this additional disk space requirement ?
