Restrict CPU and RAM from VM templates

To set the default CPU and RAM, as well as restricting the range of CPU and RAM values for VMs created with a template, set the following template values.

Field	Value
CPU	Number of CPUs assigned to this template.
RAM	RAM memory size assigned for this template in MB or GB.
Min CPU Min RAM	In private cloud, minimum value of CPU or RAM. If 0 or empty, then there is no constraint. You cannot set a minimum below the current template value. Changes apply to new VMs, not existing VMs.
Max CPU Max RAM	In private cloud, maximum value of CPU or RAM. If 0 or empty, then there is no constraint. Changes apply to new VMs, not existing VMs.
Cores per socket	The number of cores per socket. The number of CPUs must be divisible by the number of cores per socket. The maximum value is 32

Troubleshooting minimum and maximum CPU and RAM values

The platform stores 0 as an empty value, so if you enter "0", it will disappear!
If users edit existing VMs that already had out-of-range values, the platform displays a warning but does not enforce the range.
Changes can affect recommended hardware profiles on the Advanced tab, so you may need to review them
Users with the Override VM constraints privilege can enter values outside this range
