Memory capacity remaining

[MichaelRyom]

Hi

The screenshoot below indicates that I'm you if memory. But I dont get it. If I look at the numbers it says that only 84,35% or 1,33TB memory of the usable capacity of 1,57TB used. Then why is it red ? Is it a bug or am I missing something ?

It is going by the recommended size not the peak

your recommended size is 1.9tb which is more than the 1.57tb usable. I dont use the consumed model so i cant give you much help into what makes up the recommended size and why it uses this and not the peak and vmware are great at not documenting how these metrics are calculated

Okay, but that just does not make sense. Since it has nothing to do with the actual capacity.
