Performance shows 650% of memory !!!!

[SeanDA]

Hello,

I have 6 x HP DL580 servers in a DRS/HA cluster. Each host has 64GB of RAM. I have a couple of Resource pools configured beneath the cluster containing different types of VM's.

When I view the Performance tab at the cluster level, it tells me that "Memory Usage" is at 17% - which I have no reason to disbelieve, however when I check the "Memory Usage" for my VDI Resource Pool (Containing 50 Windows XP desktops - each with 700 MB of RAM) is says that it is 650% !!!!

The resource pool is configured for both Expandable reservation and Unlimited for both CPU and Memory.

Am I misinterpreting the numbers or is this just plain wrong?

Thanks.

It could be the page sharing thingy and it just says that you are using far less physical memory than you would without the page sharing thingy or it could be a calculation bug.
