Hello, we want to upgrade memory on two of our Simplivity-hosts.
Must we upgrade the memory for OVC also?

Thank you

Hi TobiasR13,

Yes it's possible to upgrade the memory on both hosts, it is required that you keep the same configurations however so the memory expansion will have to be the same across both.

It is strongly advised not to adjust any settings on the OVC, at deployment the necessary configuration is applied. As such there is no need to upgrade the memory on the OVC.

I hope this helps,

Thank you

No. Memory allocation for the OVC is fixed, based on the amount of storage in the node. Adding more RAM to the server does not require giving more RAM to the OVC.
