Setting the maximum number of simultaneously running virtual machines

Set a limit on the number of simultaneously running virtual machines with operating systems in which the Sandbox component will process objects. We recommend using the values given in the Calculations for the Sandbox component section. If you want to use other values, make sure that the server on which Sandbox is installed has sufficient hardware resources.

You can calculate the number of simultaneously running virtual machines with operating system images using the following formula: <logical core count> * 1.5.

The number of simultaneously running virtual machines cannot exceed 200.

To set the maximum number of simultaneously running virtual machines:

1. In the Sandbox web interface window, select the Administration section.
2. In the Guest virtual machines group of settings, in the Maximum simultaneous VMs field, enter the number of simultaneously running virtual machines.

   You can enter a number ranging from 1 to 200.

3. Click Save.
