Virtual Machine memory usage wrong value in Virtual Center

[dmilazzo]

Hello everyone

I have a problem tracking memory usage of some virtual machines within Virtual Center.

Opening the interface virtual center is signaled to me that virtual machines have a memory usage around 95%. Accessed via the console to the machine, however, the task manager shows me a memory usage around 15% - 20% and 4% of the processor.

The machines in question are among the other domain controller is working properly.

Thanks in advance

Hi dmilazzo,

I had this problem a few weeks ago. After updating my ESX hosts, this problem was solved.

Are yours up-to-date?

Happens to me on some Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 Servers, because it declares the RAM as "in cache" and not "free". So the ESX says it's in use 😕

The latest patch is released in september.
