Swap Space and Guest Operating Systems
If you choose to overcommit memory with ESX Server, you need to be sure your guest operating systems have sufficient swap space. This swap space must be greater than or equal to the difference between the virtual machine’s configured memory size and its Reservation. To prevent virtual machine failure, increase the size of the swap space in your virtual machines, make sure the amount of memory isn’t larger than the amount of disk space (on the VM).”
