Hello All,

Base OS= CentOS 6.6 64bit minimal

If you want to know how to do with with VMware stuff, you have to ask
VMware or in their forums.

Inside your VM you can of course use the typical tools like "top" to
find out how many CPU/memory your processes have taken. It's the same
for limiting resources (I guess this is what you mean with "how to
allocate"). You can use cgroups for that.

If you meant something else, please be more concrete.

Thanks for reply
To be precise i am just curious to know whether samba has any
benchmark tool. Yes i am little bit aware of top,ps etc tools to
monitor the performance.currently i am just testing samba in virtual
machine only
