Hi,
What is mean by % reserve RAM? It is what we set reservation min, max in VM properties---Resource tab?
The reservation is set on the VM itself.
Resource Tab.
--See Screen Shot
----My screen shot shows a VM with a 90% reservation.
No reservation results in 50% of your vRam allocation being charged. If you set a reservation below 50% you will be charged 50%.
It refers to the reservation set for each VM in %. The reservation not the limit.

How To Manage Customer Information
In order to prevent an excessive amount of manual data entry, the vCloud Usage Meter enables users to import and export customer lists. Users can also create, read, update, and delete customers and customer relationships to virtual machines with the vCloud Usage Meter.
Note: The following italicized sections are applicable only for users of older editions of Usage Meter. Stating with v3.2, Usage Meter calculates this data for Service Providers, so the manual steps described in Italics are not needed
How Points Are Calculated on Usage Data (Applicable only when using Usage Meter version older than 3.2)
The VMware vCloud Service Provider Bundles are charged as per aggregated reserved RAM usage, and charging is done through a monthly point system where months can have the following number of days:
The formula for calculating net points is:
Net points = (vGB hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM) / hours per month
vGB = Virtual Gigabyte
How the Formula Works
Points per 1 GB reserved RAM
vGB hours are calculated with consideration of floor (minimum value) and ceiling (maximum value) values
Example
During one 30-day calendar month, a Service Provider uses the vCloud Service Provider Bundle – Premier Edition to configure her virtual machine with 16 vGB for 15 days and 48 vGB for the remaining 15 days. The reservation level for the virtual machine is set at 75 percent for the entire month.
Thanks for reply. But where to set this reservation?
