> Reserve Resources for the Pano Manager VM
> The Pano Manager VM must have sufficient CPU and memory resources available to run effectively. Pano Logic recommends that you set reservations for both CPU and memory to ensure that the Pano Manager VM always has a minimum amount of resources available. For more information, go to Pano Manager VM Resource Requirements.
> To reserve resources for Pano Manager VM:

> 1. | Determine the CPU and memory resources that your Pano Manager VM requires based on your deployment size. Go to Pano Manager VM Resource Requirements.

> 2. | Reserve CPU and memory resources:

> a. | Log on to VirtualCenter using the VMware Infrastructure Client.

> b. | Power off the Pano Manager if it isn’t already.

> c. | Go to Getting Started tab > Basic Tasks area > Edit virtual machine settings link.

> Caution: Do not set a maximum limit for CPU or memory. This setting allows the Pano Manager to use additional available resources as needed. The amount of resources consumed by the Pano Manager VM usually varies throughout the day based on your usage patterns. The Pano Manager VM consumes the most resources when Pano devices display the Pano client login screen. Once users have connected to their DVMs, the Pano Manager incurs practically no load for that device or DVM.

> d. | In the Hardware tab and the Resources tab, specify the resource requirements for your deployment, then click OK.

> e. | Power on the Pano Manager VM.

> 3. | Change the number of CPUs for the Pano Manager VM, if necessary:

> a. | Log on to the Pano Manager console.

> b. | Select option 4 Drop to bash shell (Power Users).

> c. | Edit the /etc/grub.conf file:

> • | From:

> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quietclock=pit nosmp noapic nolapic

> • | To:

> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quietclock=pit smp

> d. | Shut down the Pano Manager VM:

> # shutdown -h now

> e. | From VirtualCenter, right-click on the Pano Manager VM and select Edit Settings.

> f. | Click the Hardware tab, select CPUs, and change number of CPUs for the Pano Manager VM.

> g. | Power on the Pano Manager VM.

> h. | Log on to the Pano Manager console.

> i. | Select option 4 Drop to bash shell (Power Users).

> j. | Type the following command. The number of processor(s) that you added should match the system’s cpuinfo output:

> # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor

> Next Step(s): Configure Pano Manager VM Network Settings
