I have a 4GB Hyper-V Server 2012 Host in a lab that uses a full 2171 MB for the Host. I have verified the usage via setting dynamic RAM up on the VMs to see how much they could get. I know the Host is woefully low on RAM for a Hyper-V Host
but I am still curious, is this number right? Does Hyper-V Server 2012 (free version, i.e. even lighter than Core install) require >2GB for the Host? All the docs seem to suggest roughly 1GB for Host plus a fee 10's of MB per VM but nothing
says it should be >2GB for a handful of VM's in total. I want to know for sizing other Production deployments as well as to know if there is tuning to be done that we are missing.
