system uses swapping to reclaim memory from virtual machines running other guest
operating systems and from virtual machines that do not have VMware Tools
installed.
The maximum amount of memory that the system may attempt to reclaim using
vmmemctl is restricted automatically based on known limitations of the type of
guest operating system. Alternatively, you may specify the configuration file option
sched.mem.maxmemctl manually. See the description of the ESX Server options
MemCtlMax[OSType] for appropriate limits.
