  3. Number of processors—Select the number of processors for the replica virtual machine.

Note:

The Processors on the source server field displays the number of processors on the original source server.
  1. Amount of memory—Enter the amount of memory to use for the replica virtual machine.

Note:

The Memory on the source server field displays the amount of memory (in MB) on the original source server.
