Resource Usage Terminology
vRealize Automation uses explicit terminology to distinguish between resources that are available,
resources that have been set aside for specific usages, and resources that are actively being consumed
by provisioned machines.
The Resource Usage Terminology table explains the terminology vRealize Automation uses to display
resource usage.
Table 319. Resource Usage Terminology
Term Description
Physical Indicates the actual memory or storage capacity of a compute resource.
Reserved Indicates the machine quota, memory, and storage capacity set aside for a reservation. For
example, if a compute resource has a physical capacity of 600 GB and there are three
reservations on it for 100 GB each, then the reserved storage of the compute resource is 300
GB and the storage reserved is 50 percent.
Managed Indicates that the machine is provisioned and currently under vRealize Automation
management.
Allocated Indicates the machine quota, memory, or storage resources actively being consumed by
provisioned machines. For example, consider a reservation with a machine quota of 10. If there
are 15 provisioned machines on it, but only 6 of them are currently powered on, the machine
quota is 60 percent allocated.
Used The Used column value always equals the Allocated column value.
Free Indicates the unused physical capacity on a storage path.
