Hi All,
Im runnig vmware server 2 on Debian and my cacti utilization graphs don't seem to match up to my resource utilization that I see in the web client. It's not like my numbers are even close. So I decided to take a look for myself using top and top seemed to be matching what my cacti graphs say(much higher then what VMWare says). This kind of concerns me as according to VMWare, I don't even have 25% cpu or memory utilization, whereas cacti says my memory is almost maxed.This brings me to a few questions. How does VMWare Server calculate it's load percentages? Why is VMWare so far off from top/cacti? If top/cacti is correct, why is vmware eating so much more memory then it needs to on the back end of things(definitely VMWare as it has highest mem usage and is the only thing on these servers)? Any help that can be provided here would be great. Thanks in advance.
