vtServer Configuration Advice

The formula for calculating the number of CPU cores in the host running alpha6 in a vtAlpha virtual machine is:

(the total amount of active Alpha CPU's in alpha6 * 1.5)

With the found OpenVMS configuration: (1 * 1.5) = 2

The formula for calculating the host memory needed for a host running alpha6 in a vtAlpha virtual machine is:

(the total amount of memory in alpha6 * 1.25) + (total number of disks * 125) + (number of tapeunits * 100) + 1024 MB

With the found OpenVMS configuration: (128 * 1.25) + (4 * 125) + (0 * 100) + 1024 = 2048 MB

Disclaimer:

The value of memory and number of CPUs is the minimum value needed
and also depends on the use of the emulator.
These values are often not sufficient on a heavily used emulator.
