I think Ron Oglesby (the guru of all things VM) would say use single proc VMs
with 4gb each. As far as capacity, you need to test the app. At a minimum look
at the memory on a comparable server before and while running a single, and
then multiple instances. You can usually safely estimate capacity from that
number.

Hello all,
We are planning on converting our XenApp environment to VM's running on a
XenServer platform deployed by Provisioning server and we want to maximize the
hardware we have.
We have 80 2 x Dual core P Class BL25 G2 blades with 8 GB of ram and we plan on
upping the ram to 16gb. We have been debating on whether we should run 3 single
processor x32 VM's with 4GB of ram each thinking that would maximize the
hardware best or 1 3 processor vm with 14gb of ram. We figured leaving 1-2 GB
of ram and 1 processor for the host would be sufficient.
I realize this is really general and does not take application load into
consideration. Any advice you can provide would be appreciated.
