18. Dynamic Memory
Dynamic Memory allows the allocation of a range of memory
(min and max) to individual VMs, enabling the system to
dynamically adjust the VM’s memory usage based on demand.
This provides more consistency in system performance
enabling better manageability for administrators
RemoteFX
Microsoft RemoteFX leverages the power of virtualized graphics
resources and advanced codecs to recreate the fidelity of
hardware-assisted graphics acceleration, including support for 3D
content and Windows Aero, on a remote user’s device. This allows
for a local-like, remote experience.

Tips
VMM Server installation fails if there is a space between the Remove the white space between
instance name and port number for a remote SQL Server
Instance and Port number
Slow file transfer from Library
Enable “Allow unencrypted file
transfers” in library settings
3
An SSL port is not specified when installing the VMM SelfService Portal.

After upgrading to VMM 2008 R2 , the VMM agent on a
highly available VMM library server cannot be manually
updated
Wait for the library refresh cycle or
refresh manually
5
After upgrading to VMM 2008 R2 , the "Allow unencrypted Enable it again.
file transfers" setting is disabled.

32. Reason
Tip to resolve
Reason 1
VM is using Non clustered
Storage.
Ensure that all VM files reside on a clustered
storage.
Reason 2
One or more VLAN are not
connected to HA Virtual Network
Ensure VLAN name is identical, must have
same network location and have same tag on
each host in cluster. VLAN name is CASE
SENSITIVE
Reason 3
An ISO image is attached to a HA
VM.
Remove the ISO image from Hyper V
manager, Refresh using repair action in VMM.
Reason 4
A VMware HAVM is connected to
a port group which is not
available on all hosts
Ensure the port group is available on all the
ESX Server hosts in the cluster.
