Consumed Memory greater than Granted Memory

Hi,

I was performing a test on my ESXi server, and found out that the consumed memory was greater than granted memory. All my guests were 32 bit, a mix of XP and Kubuntu (16 each). I had Paravirtualization turned on for just one kubuntu virtual machine, others were running default configuration. How is the consumed memory greater than granted memory?

I have attached a screenshot.

Thank You,

Ojas

Consumed takes into account VM overhead, granted does not.
