I understand that memory reclaimation techniques will begin to ramp up prior to ESX moving from one memory state to the other, so aside from that, why would SWCUR in ESXTOP be anything other than 0 if ESX is in a high state?
Also, why would all ballooning metrics be 0, but SWCUR be greater than zero? Does ESX reclaim idle memory even when the memory state of the ESX server is high?
Also, what metrics determine the memory state? Is is consumed or active?
Many thanks!
