Calculating rsvd in ESXi 6.0 ??

Hi All,

I want to ask how we can calculate the rsvd memory of esxtopin ESXi 6.0? In this doc : Interpreting esxtop Statistics  said "rsvd" : the amount of machine memory that is currently reserved. "rsvd" is the sum of three parts: (a) the reservation setting of the groups; (b) the overhead reservation of the groups; (c) "minfree". But i don't know how we can get (a) and (b).

Here is the example of a host with 8GB Memory :

As we can see ursvd is 4046, this is matched with Available Capacity in Resource Allocation tab. we can calculate ursvd = managed - rsvd. But how to calculate the rsvd? I have searched in the internet but can't find the formula to get rsvd "4106"

Other sample of a host with 32GB Memory :

In this sample also matched between ursvd and Available Capacity, and ursvd is managed - rsvd, but again how to calculate rsvd?

Thanks
