Managing Infrastructure 6
Different vRealize Automation roles monitor resource usage and manage infrastructure in different ways.

Managing Resource Usage
Fabric administrators manage the resource usage of the compute resources and reservations they own,
and tenant administrators and business group managers manage the resource usage of the business
groups they own.
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 6‑1. 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.
For physical machines, this term indicates machines that are reserved for a reservation but not yet provisioned.
Managed For physical machines, this 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.
