I have some questions around ballooning
I have a server which keeps ballooning, I checked the host and its not even using 50% of its RAM, there are no reservations set on the server and were not using any shares. I added more vRAM and the balloon driver stopped ballooning.
My understanding was the balloon drive kicked in when the host doesn't have enough resources free but I have 50% of RAM free. Am I wrong on this?
Have you any limits configured for the VM? That is usually what is causing this.
Have you checked that your VMware tools is running properly on VM.
Hi,

MCTLSZ, SWCUR, SWR/s, SWW/s
And also tell us more about your environment ...
Thanks
