In this example, ID 137 is an SMP virtual machine with two virtual CPUs. The output
shows statistics associated with its first virtual cpu vmm0, identified as vcpu 137, with a
configured display name that begins with “Win2kAS”. The virtual CPU is currently
running on processor 0, and is currently co-scheduled with the second VCPU
associated with this virtual machine. The VCPU has been up for about 358 seconds,
during which time it has consumed about 265 seconds of processor time, including
about 3 seconds of ESX Server system time (such as processing interrupts on behalf of
the virtual machine).
The virtual CPU is not currently waiting, but has waited for a total of about 52 seconds
since it has powered on. Together, both of the virtual machine’s virtual CPUs are
allowed to use between 0 and 2 physical processors (min=0% and max=200%). The
virtual machine’s allocation of 2000 shares currently entitles it to consume processor
time equivalent to 72% of a single processor. Since powering on, the virtual machine
has received about 124 seconds of CPU time above its entitlement, by consuming
“extra” time leftover from other virtual machines that did not fully utilize their
allocations.
