I have created a virtual machine on a Hyper-V server, Dell PowerEdge with 24 Gb of RAM. I want to have four VMs with 2048 Mb of RAM each. Originally, I created this one (SV-YAMATO) with 512 Mb of RAM, now I want to extend it to 2048 through the Settings, but when I start it I get the following error message (see the screen shot). What can I do to fix this?

You appear to be out of diskspace on the host. You'll have to reduce the memory used by the VM, since Hyper-V requires a "hibernation file" on the host for when the VM is suspended, as Mike noted.

I had a problem with Disk Quotas.

In short I did the following:

  1. disabled disk quotas
  2. started VM
  3. enabled quotas
  4. Look for user account "NT Virtual MACHINE**GUID**", then select "Do not limit disk usage"

Seems I found a "non standard configuration" to have file shares with disk quotas on the same volume as the VM .vhd's. Pre-existing VMs and their user account for disk quota's were OK, just a problem for new VM's.
