I simply assign as much resources as required to a VM, up to the
real number less one. Why less one?<br>
<br>
Because the host system needs a CPU that it can use to manage and
coordinate the guest systems. Remember that virtualization
effectively means running an entire computer system as a single
operating system process (or a set of cooperating processes),
meaning that the real host will require some CPU.<br>
<br>
Now that said, I often am able to overallocate on my VMH servers,
because most services are underutilized. As their usage increases,
though, I'll be able to move them to another server that shares the
same storage.<br>
