Hi,

We recently upgraded the RAM on the server running D3/Linux and would like to allocate a greater portion of it to the D3 VM.

What is the proper way to recalculate the "core" value in the pick0 file?

I typically give D3 half of the system's RAM. So if you have 24GB of RAM on the system, I'd calculate it like this:

1GB = 1048576 1K blocks

24 / 2 = 12 GB for D3

12 X 1048576 = 12582912 core statement value
