I am using ESXi5.0. Actually the system having 16GB RAM (physical memory). I would like to reserve 4GB memory from my RAM.
So that , 12GB out of 16GB will use by vmkernel and rest of 4GB reserved by us.
Normally in Linux, memory area reserved at boot time by passing "memmap=4G$8G" (Example) to the kernel.
1G to 8G && 13G to 16G ==>(12G) will use by kernel and
9G to 12G==========> (4G) Reserved, this reserved memory later used by char or block driver.
My questions is,
Is there any linux equavalent fucntion (memmap) available in ESXI.50.? If so, how we can reserved Physical Memory?.
booting time? or any other way?
