Deallocated Virtual Machine memory can be reused in the host without terminating the guest. It can also be deflated to allow the guest to use more physical memory.
It acts like a "balloon" that can be inflated to reclaim physical pages by reserving them in the guest and invalidating them in the monitor, freeing up the underlying machine pages so they can be allocated to other guests. vmw_balloon - The physical memory management driver.vmw_balloon vmw_pvscsi vsock vmw_vsock_vmci_transport. If any of them is not auto-detected (check by running lsmod | grep modulename ) and if it is required, the module can be added to mkinitcpio's MODULES array. Once installed you should be able to customize your template or virtual machine for failover using Site Recovery Manager.Note: Arch's Udev auto-detects and enables some of these modules. Once the package index has been updated we can invoke the following to install the ‘deployPKG’ plug-in. We will now create the file ‘ /etc/apt//vmware-tools.list’ to add the below package repository and update the package index. Sudo apt-key add /tmp/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub
For each key downloaded, we will import the key on successful completion you should receive the below notification: sudo apt-key add /tmp/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-DSA-KEY.pub The below details installing the plug-in on an Ubuntu operating system, however steps for other operating systems can be found here.įirstly, we will need to obtain and import the VMware Packaging Public keys which can be downloaded from here and the files are required to be saved into a directory on the guest operating system. If you are installing the open source implementation of VMware Tools ‘open-vm-tools’ into your guest operating system and require to use the virtual machine as a template or leverage Site Recovery Manager to customize virtual machines after failover, then there is a requirement to install the ‘deployPkg Tools’ plug-in.
