So this would mean:

• Start the VM with 512 MiB
• Balloon up to 4 GiB
• Balloon down to 1 GiB

What does the 5 GiB setting do?

I must be dense today. I totally get memory ballooning, but from the UI it looks like we have two sets of settings (Static and Dynamic) each with their own minimum and maximum settings. What is the difference between Static and Dynamic min and max?

What is the purpose of the two settings under static?

The documentation explains the Dynamic setting, but not Static. What does it do?

Thank you all for this wonderful information.

BTW: Guest tools are installed in the VM.

CPU Limits has a #/# input. The second number appears to be the maximum number of vCPUs allocated. The first number appears to be the number of vCPUs the VM starts with.

Even if I hammer the CPU in the VM with "stress -c 6", lscpu only shows 1 CPU.

I can't find any documentation explaining this setting. What does this setting mean?
