The log file shows "HOST RAM: 11045 MB available". The VM is configured to have 4096 MB RAM. But instead of starting, the "HostMemoryLow" error gets thrown and the VM switches to state PAUSED.
The most interesting part of the log file is:

Remarks:
I've checked a lot of older posts. But none of those answers - I've tried them all - lead to a solution.
Any hints or solutions are very welcome!
