three times the CPU time exceeds 50%, or the maximum CPU percentage of the
virtual machine.
These values can be modified. Click Edit. The Edit CPU Resources window appears.
Change the settings and click OK to save them and close the window.

are idle.
Click the Disk tab to view information about the service console processor usage.
