Dear,

I am facing a rather complicated problem of understanding.

I came to realize the wrong memory consumption with a new host.

The Host has 32GB RAM and 2 VMS

VM 1 16GB RAM (Using only 8GB RAM)
VM 2 6GB RAM (Using only 2.5GB RAM)

However, in the summary it shows the consumption of 22.7GB RAM. At first, I understood that the result of the summary was referring to the sum of VM1 and VM2.

However, I checked on another host I own and the scenario is quite different.

Host 2 has 48GB RAM and has 56GB Allocated to VMS

And the summary of Host 2, shows the actual consumption of 37GB.

So I would like the help of the illustrious friends to try to solve this dilemma. What can I do to the host summary to display the actual memory consumption of VMS like Host 2?

PS1: KSM is at 0GB in both
PS2: This excessive consumption of memory, ends up impacting on the use of Swap.

Thank you all in advance.
