https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/pmp-and-vmware-esx-guests-query/m-p/4008579#M27607 I'm looking at PMP on our VMHost Servers and now drilling down and looking at the Guests.<BR /><BR />There's some nice info but one item I'm confused by:<BR />Average Virtual Processor Utilization %<BR />First off I didn't think VMware virtualised the CPU.<BR />Second, the figures in this don't seem to correspond with any workloads I'm seeing reported by VMware performance or PerfMon. And yes, I'm aware that there can be CPU used by a VM Guest that doesn't show in perfmon.<BR /><BR />The figures have maximums well over 100% (e.g. 176%) which is pretty impressive for a guest configured with a single vCPU.<BR /><BR />Anyone any idea what this value actually represents, as it can cause PMP to report a server as being overloaded when it's actually not loaded at all.
