Dynamic
Memory
Hyper-V memory enhancement introouced in Windows
Server
2008R2SP1
Higher VM consolidation ralios on same hardware with
minimal
performance impact
Memory is pooled and dynamically distributed across
VMs to allow
it to easily grow or shrink with no service interruption
Active Memory addition
Memory is added immediately when VM needs it
Passive Memory reclamation
Unutilized memory is collected every 5 minutes

size of host RAM, NUMA architecture
New registry key override added
Allows you to reserve static memory for the parent

Dynamic Memory allows VMS tO QuSh up against the reserve
