(5,10,20-low,normal,high). In your example you write 5 vm's each of 2GB of memory and set to normal would be 10 * 1000 = 10000 shares each. Maybe i misunderstand here something completly but shouldnt it be 20.000 shares per vm? 10 * 2000 MB ? I am aware at the end it does not male any difference, its just for me to understand this better. regards Harry Hi Arnim,

The limits, where I witnessed it, where set low(512MB)... on an active VM now way it would be able to balloon after a while and continue with swapping.
