VMware ESX Server 1.5 Troubleshooting
Knowledge Base Troubleshooting
The following sections will help you diagnose and correct problems you may encounter when using memory.
- When I try to start a new virtual machine, ESX Server says I don't have enough memory.
- I used vmkfstools to add a second swap file to my ESX Server system, but the system is not taking advantage of the extra swap space.
See How the System Uses Memory in the ESX Server manual for more information on how ESX provides memory to a virtual machine when you start it.
ESX Server 1.5 uses only one swap file - the first swap created on the computer. Although you can create additional swap files, ESX Server 1.5 does not use them. You may safely delete the extra swap file to free the disk space.
