Hi Community, I have this strange problem (or feature, for which I did not find any explanation):
The first "server" (virtual computer) I tested with ESXi had 2GB RAM, and after booting I have seen "2 GiB Memory".
Later I installed ESXi on some real workstation, with 16GB RAM, and ESXi reported "16 GiB Memory".
Now I'm testing ESXi on server with 32GB RAM, and after booting ESXi says "31.7 GiB Memory".
Why ESXi lost ~300MB of RAM?
If I had seen the same with all ESXi-installation (300MB less than real RAM capacity), I'd think it is reserved for hypervisor itself and therefore substracted from total value. But why only in scenario with 32GB RAM? BIOS reports full 32GB and I see the same value during POST (power-on self test). I booted linux (live-cd), it reports full 32GB too. HW (cpu, mobo, ram) is on compatibility list, so it should be fully supported...
