I have upgraded Windows server 2016 host machine to 320GB of RAM. When I try to add memory to my VMs only 128MB are available total. Looks like Hyper-V manager recognize max of 128GB of 320GB available physical RAM. Server has 2 XEON processors with 160GB of RAM available for each (Dell R730). Please advise...

Thanks, SV

    Hi,

    The default maximum RAM of the VMs should be 1TB. Are there any error messages if you set the RAM or maximum RAM of the VMs to more than 128GB？

    Best Regards,
