Hi,
I am running VMware player on CentOS 5.4 and its working fine. However it does not allow me to increase the RAM more than 3GB. It keeps throwing error stating- "Requested memory size is greater than allowed maximum of 3072 MB. Could not initiate memory hot plug."
I understand from few threads that 32bit OS has this kind of limitation but I am able to understand why I am seeing this issue when I am using 64bit OS and VMware player is also for 64bit.
Regards Hersh

I'd say, use virtualbox instead of vmware player.

What is you host amount of memory? What is your guest type? What VMware version of VM are trying to create?

Check this VMware article and see if you fall within the limitations described:
Virtual machine memory limits and hardware versions (1014006) http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd...

Even bytes get lonely for a little bit.
Host has 128GB RAM and its running CentOS 5.4 64 bit architect, Guest is 64 bit ubuntu 12.04, VMware Player I am using is 6.1
@Luigi- I have seen this thread and I have a Q around this. How do I know what hardware(e.g. 10/9/8) do I have?

Hi All,
Thanks for your comments. Finally figured out the way. Upgrading VMwaretools did the trick.
