Description

The monitor is a thin layer that provides virtual x86 hardware to the overlying operating system. This paper contains VMware vSphere 4.0 default monitor modes chosen for many popular guests running modern x86 CPUs. While most workloads perform well under these default settings, a user may derive performance benefits by overriding the defaults. The paper examines situations where manual monitor mode configuration may be practical and provides two ways of changing the default monitor mode of the virtual machine in vSphere.
