After clicking a Virtual Machine (VM) host from the All Systems page, select the VM Performance tab to display the performance information for the VM host. Activity for the most recent 1,5, fifteen, thirty, or sixty minutes can be displayed. If the amount of time requested exceeds the amount available, all available information is reported.

  • VM Host Performance. This section includes:

    • Processor Utilization Percentage. The processor utilization on the VM host

    • VM Processor Utilization Percentage. The processor consumption by all of the VMs on the host

    • Reserved Capacity (All running VMs). The sum of the Reserved System Capacity values for all VMs currently powered on. This is for Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 VM hosts only.

    • CPU Min (All running VMs). The sum of the CPU min values for all VMs currently powered on divided by the resources available on the host. This is for VMware ESX Server only.

    • Memory Utilization. The total amount of memory currently in use on the host, based on memory utilization relative to the amount of physical memory configured on the host.

    • VM Memory. The total amount of memory currently in use by VMs executing on the host, based on the VM utilization relative to the amount of physical memory configured.

    • Network Throughput. The network traffic transmitted and received on the host. The bar is always filled completely.

    • Network Transmission Throughput. The network traffic transmitted by the host and all VMs on the host. The bar represents the transmission percentage of the network throughput.

    • Storage Throughput. The storage read and written by the host and all VMs on the host. The bar represents the read percentage of storage throughput.

    • Storage Write Throughput. The storage written by the host and all VMs on the host. The bar represents the write percentage of storage throughput.

  • Threshold Settings. A VM host-specific threshold can be evaluated.

    • Threshold Interval. The number of minutes of utilization data that must be available before the threshold is evaluated.

    • Threshold Value. The maximum utilization value that provides a normal status.

    • Measured Interval. The number of minutes of utilization data averaged to calculate the measured value.

    • Measured Value. The average utilization over the most recent measured interval.

    • State. The current state of the threshold. The can be:

      • Unknown. Indicates that the number of utilization samples available is less than the Threshold Interval.

      • Normal. Indicates that sufficient utilization samples are available, and the Measured Value is less than or equal to the Threshold Value.

      • Exceeded. Indicates that sufficient utilization samples are available, and the Measured Value is greater than the Threshold Value.

  • Virtual Machine Performance. This section displays the value averages that are relative to the duration of the VM host activity. The following values are displayed for each VM on the host.

    • CPU. The CPU percentage consumed by the VM relative to the total processor capacity of the VM host.

    • vCPU. The CPU percentage consumed by the VM relative to its resource allocation.

    • Memory. The physical host memory currently in use by the VM.

    • Network. The network throughput for the VM. The bar indicates the VM network throughput as a percentage of the total network throughput on the VM host.

    • Storage. The storage throughput for the VM. The bar indicates the VM storage throughput as a percentage of the total storage throughput on the VM host.
