Provisioned storage = capacity of all Harddisk + RAM

[Kaustubhambulka]

We have wired issue in out infrastructure where some of the VM are showing

Provisioned storage = capacity of all Hard disk + RAM

for example,

VM general Information

RAM = 8 GB

VM HDD information

HDD 1 = 60GB            HDD 2 =  40GB            Total = 100GB

Provisioned storage

as per my knowledge provisioned storage should be 100 GB. and system showing 108 GB.

Let me know if we have any solution for it.

Thanks !!

Additional 8 GB is being used for SWAP file. Your VM size in 100 GB, + you are using 8 GB memory.

Swap file size is similar to your Memory allocated to VM - Reservation.

Read out Swap File article to get more about this.
