Resource reporting

[max2479]

Hi, Could some one explain on how cluster calculate resources.

I have total of 3 ESXi hosts in the cluster.

1. ESXi 4.1 with 32 GB and 8 CPUs x 2.493

2. ESXi 4.1 with 32 GB and 8 CPUs x 2.493

3. ESXi 4.1 with 48 GB and 8 CPUs x 2.26

so total RAM should be 112 GB

Total CPU should be  57.968 MHz

if I look at the cluster with DRS and HA enabled it is reporting much lower numbers. What am I missing?

Did you have any virtual machine with reservation of Memory or CPU ?

[max2479]

I have 4 VMs with reservation of 1 GB each so 4GB total

3 VMs with 1900 Mhz total 5700 MHz

Still does not add up. Totals are not accurate.

OK.

Check if have reservation to kernet > Host > Configuration > System Resource Allocation

find out where missing
1919 MHz  
11657 MB
