Description
VMware hypervisor generates swap files (.vswp) for the amount of memory not reserved in a VM when there is memory overcommit. This file can be forced to be of size 0 when the VM reserves all memory it needs. To do this these parameters should be added to the VMX file:
sched.mem.min = "512" sched.mem.shares = "normal" sched.mem.pin = "TRUE"
This behavior should have a configuration parameter to enable or disable it.
