Hello,
I have a host ( ESXi 5.5 ) with 128G physical RAM. Current active memory is only 10G and 100G granted. The host have swap cache on the top of PCI-E SSD drive and CPU utilization is ~30%.
So I decided to add several additional VMs on the host. Now granted memory is 200G and swap is still unused, the active memory is 30G.
The following issue appears. The task manager of all of VMs shows 80% RAM usage without running any processes on them. Also the sum of RAM usage of all running processes is less than 5% of RAM granted to VM.
Memory reservation is set to 0
Do you have any idea what makes this machines to use so much memory without any reason ?
Regards!
