This is just a quick note to let you know that Linux version of VMware 6.0 will not give you a warning message when you set a size of memory for a virtual machine higher than what your host has installed.

So, when you start that virtual machine

  • your host Linux OS will get hung
  • your vm will show "Unable to load profile ..." error (assuming it runs Windows OS)
  • and you probably will have to "cold-boot" your box

What led me to this outrageous experiment was the fact that Gnome Monitor was not showing reduction in RAM when I was running a virtual machine. Initially I thought that VMware was not using the host's RAM at all creating a large page file instead. So, I bumped up the vm RAM beyond the physical RAM on host and it soon showed up.

Thanks for reading.
