Hello community. Recently picked up 2 Mac Studio maxed out, after a looooooooooooooong wait. First thing I did was to upgrade its OS, 2nd thing I did was to install Parallels desktop. I have 5 Parallels Desktop Pro licenses, but I can't allocate more than 62gb of ram to a Ubuntu Server arm. What am I doing wrong?
Hello, First, it's very good that the second thing you did with your new Mac was the installation of Parallels Desktop As for your question, if your macOS is macOS Monterey 12 then we're limited with the amount of RAM that can be assigned to a VM - 62 GB is the maximum. If your host macOS is macOS Ventura 13, then you can assign up to 128 GB of RAM to your VM on a Mac computer with an M1 Ultra chip (in Parallels Desktop 18.1.0 and later).
That's what I've figured. My Studios came with 12.5.1, and I hesitated to upgrade to Monterey immediately, but to get all that 128gb ram, I upgraded Problem solved. Thanks guys.
