Warning:
When configuring guest memory, Citrix advises NOT to exceed the maximum amount of
physical memory addressable by your operating system. Setting a memory maximum that
is greater than the operating system supported limit, may lead to stability problems within
your guest.
In addition reducing the lower limit, below dynamic minimum, could also lead to stability
problems. Administrators are encouraged to calibrate the sizes of their VMs carefully, and
make sure that their working set of applications functions reliably at dynamic-minimum.
