Dear Forum!
I newly installed hyper-V 2012 (Core) on a Supermicro Mainboard with an ADM Opteron 6344 32GB RAM
System information:
Manufacturer : Supermicro
Model : H8SGL
Name : HYPERV
PrimaryOwnerName : Windows User
TotalPhysicalMemory : 34341036032
After configuration of the host and two guests with fixed memory (host1: 4GB RAM, host2: 12GB RAM no dynamic memory used) I discovered that after 2 days there was no memory available on the host anymore. The Taskmgr process list shows maxx 2GB used memory, the performance tab shows completely used memory.
I installed all the available updates, rebooted and the memory usage gets back to normal. But after another 2 days the memory on the host was again completely used. There is no third party software installed that would eat up memory. I also tried to set the registry key for limiting host memory to 2048MB with no luck.
I always log out from the server not only disconnecting, because I read that there could be a problem with disconnected RDP sessions.
I tried turning off NUMA on the host, gave less memory to the guests but still the same behavior. When the memory is completely taken by the host I am not able to add a new virtual machine anymore, because the host complains about not enough memory left.
Is there anything I am missing?
Any suggestions on what I could try?
