XenServer Configuration Limits
Citrix® XenServer 6.2.0
Citrix recommends using the following configuration limits as a guideline when selecting and
configuring your virtual and physical environment for XenServer. The following information
represents tested and recommended configuration limits that are fully supported by Citrix for
XenServer.
• Virtual Machine Limits
• XenServer Host Limits
• Resource Pool Limits
Factors such as hardware and environment can affect the limitations listed below. More information
about supported hardware can be found on the Citrix XenServer Hardware Compatibility List. Consult
your hardware manufacturers’ documented limits to ensure you do not exceed the supported
configuration limits for your environment. Refer to the XenServer Technical Specifications and
XenServer White Papers for the latest technical specifications, platform requirements and white papers
on capacity planning and performance testing completed for XenServer.
Virtual Machine (VM) Limits
Item Limit
Compute
Virtual CPUs per VM 16
Memory
RAM per VM 128GB1
Storage
Virtual Disk Images (VDI) (including CD-ROM) per VM 72
Virtual CD-ROM drives per VM 1
Virtual Disk Size (NFS) 2TB minus 4GB
Virtual Disk Size (LVM) 2TB minus 4GB
Networking
Virtual NICs per VM 73
1
The maximum amount of physical memory addressable by your operating system varies. Setting the memory to a level greater than the
operating system supported limit, may lead to performance issues within your guest. Some 32-bit Windows operating systems can support
more than 4 GB of RAM through use of the physical address extension (PAE) mode. The limit for 32-bit PV Virtual Machines is 64GB. Please
consult your guest operating system Administrators Guide and the XenServer Virtual Machine User's Guide for more details.
2
This number is not programmatically enforced, but is the supported limit. Customers can configure up to 16 VDIs using the xe Command Line
Interface (CLI), but this is not a supported configuration.
3
Several guest OS have a lower limits, other guests require installation of the XenServer Tools in order to achieve this limit.

XenServer Host Limits
Item Limit
Compute
Logical processors per host 1604
Virtual CPUs per host (Windows VMs) 40005
Virtual CPUs per host (Linux VMs) 120005
Concurrent VMs per host (Windows VMs) 5006
Concurrent VMs per host (Linux VMs) 650
Concurrent protected VMs per host with HA enabled 500
Memory
RAM per host 1 TB7
Storage
Concurrent active virtual disks per host 512
Networking
Physical NICs per host 16
Physical NICs per network bond 4
Virtual NICs per host 512
VLANs per host 800
VLANs per physical NIC 10198
Graphics Capability
GPUs per host 129
4
The maximum amount of logical physical processors supported differs by CPU. Please consult the XenServer Hardware Compatibility List for
more details on the maximum amount of logical cores supported per vendor and CPU.
5
Each plugged VBD or plugged VIF or Windows VM reduces this number by 1.
6
The maximum number of VMs/host supported is dependent on VM workload, system load, and certain environmental factors. Citrix reserves
the right to determine what specific environmental factors affect the maximum limit at which a system can function. For systems running 500
HVM VMs, Citrix recommends allocating 8GB RAM and 8 exclusively pinned vCPUs to dom0, and setting the OVS flow-eviction-threshold to
8192.
7
If a host has one or more 32-bit paravirtualized guests (Linux VMs) running a maximum of 128GB RAM is supported on the host.
8
Each virtual NIC (VIF) on the physical NIC’s (PIF) network, reduces this number by 1.
9
This figure may change, refer to the XenServer Hardware Compatibility List for current supported limit: http://hcl.xensource.com/GPUPass-
throughDeviceList.aspx
