Ram perfomance in windows guest machine

[ricky73]

I'm using ESXi 5.5 Hypervisor system and I know in Windows guest machine task manager is not reliable and it doesn't give proper information to memory usage, so I ask myself how to check how much ram really my Windows 2000/2003/2008 is using; so I can reduce or increase ram size to vm.

Can you suggest me Vmware article please?

hello

i don't know if its a standalone of licensed vsphere environment but vRealize operations can see if the VM is undersized or over committed

or try a free vm health monitoring tool. there are alot out there

vm turbo

solarwinds

etc..

I have 5 hosts in vmware cluster with vSphere 5.5 Enterprise license

ESXTOP command could help you to get actual memory usage of VMs.

Refer section 3.1 and 3.2 in Interpreting esxtop Statistics
