Granted Memory resource (memory reservation) can be allocated using the shares method or explicitly
grant enough memory for the VM in the Resources panel:
The configured RAM in the hardware panel is the amount of memory allocated for the particular VM by the
ESX server, but not granted to it exclusively (it could be e.g. shared with the other VMs). Memory
exclusively granted to the VM is specified in the Resources panel (as memory reservation).
If granting of specific amount of memory is required (for KCS real-time applications), set both Memory
values in Hardware and Resources panels to the same desired value (e.g. 512 MByte).
Note than it makes no sense to set memory reservation (Resource panel) higher than configured memory
(hardware panel) as in such a case ESX server would restrict the reserved memory to the amount of
configured memory.
