On a healthy system, Disk KBps and Network Mbps should roughly look the same. The exacqVision Virtual machine is normally one
of the largest resource users of host network and datastore traffic. If network latency becomes an issue, consider adding or
dedicating physical NICs for VMS network traffic.
Host Performance
The virtual machine host must have enough memory and CPU resource for each virtual machine that is assigned to it. You can
overprovision CPU and memory resources, but when the hosted virtual machine exceeds the physical resource capacity of the host,
all of the virtual machines will experience performance issues as VMware pulls resources from running virtual machines.
The VMware host can quickly be assessed by opening the Hosts and Clusters view and clicking on the host in the Inventory pane.
Click on the Summary tab and observe the statistics under Resources. Host resources are displayed with a bar meter and provide a
quick view of current and CPU and Memory loads. Note that CPU usage should be less than 80%. Multiply the number of cores by
the core GHz to get your total CPU capacity. Multiply by .8 and verify that the CPU usage number is lower:
8 x 2.393 GHz = 19.144 (total GHz) *.8 = 15.3152 (80% capacity ) > 4216 MHz ( current Load )
