Virtual Memory (VMem)

Virtual Memory (VMem) is a measure of the memory resources on a VM. Turbonomic measures allocated VMem capacity and utilized VMem in bytes (GB or MB).

Note that percentages of allocated VMem are measured against whichever is the less of the VMem limit (if set) or the allocated VMem capacity. This is also true in reports and recommended actions. For example, assume a VM with allocated VMem of 8 GB, but a limit of 4 GB. In this case, the percentage in a chart shows the percentage utilized of 4GB.

For on-prem environments, VMem capacity is a percentage of the Mem capacity
of the underlying host (see Mem). For cloud VMs, the VMem capacity is determined by the instance type.
