Memory is allocated to the hypervisor from the director cache during the initial setup as shown in the following figure. This memory is then allocated to each Virtual Machine (VM) on that director for the purpose of embedded applications. The amount of memory allocated to a VM depends on the type of application, for example Cloud Mobility and Embedded Management.
