Let me know if you are happy with this and what time is the best as I will then need to shut down the VMs one by one to increase the memory. Best regards, Olja ________________________________ 28/02/2024 11:34 am | Olja Borojevic: Hi Sarah, Let me see what we can do. I need to have a quick chat with Anthony to see what is the best way to do it. As we will be deploying new Dev clusters that will take some of the load from the Production clusters . I will hopefully have some answers by tomorrow . Many thanks, Olja ________________________________ 28/02/2024 09:43 am | Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI: Hi Olja, Apologies for the delay in responding. Is there any chance we can get higher than 24GB memory up? Our systems tests alone require 32GB of memory to run and so we currently have them turned off on Windows which is not ideal.

If you would like me to change the startup memory to more memory like 24GB i will need to shutdown the VM. Could you please let me know when is the best time to make a change . Best regards, Olja ________________________________ 11/01/2024 11:08 am | Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI: Dear FIT, We currently have 4 Windows Virtual Machines for use on our development pipeline for Mantid. These are hosted by FIT. At present these machines only have 16GB RAM. We are finding this is not enough for our needs. Would it be possible to get VMs with more RAM?
