XenServer server memory utilization

Comtrade.Citrix.XenServer.Server.MemoryUtil (UnitMonitor)

Monitors the memory utilization of a server.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The memory utilization of a server is high.

Causes

Server’s memory may be highly utilized.

Resolutions

Check whether the memory utilization on the server is high for longer periods of time. This may indicate the overloaded server and starting subsequent virtual machines on the server might not be possible. Consider migrating some of the virtual machines to other servers.

Additional

If virtual machines are configured with the fixed amount of memory, high memory utilization on the server can prevent starting additional virtual machines. However, if Dynamic Memory Control (DMC) feature is enabled, it might still be possible to start additional virtual machines.

For more information on how to configure and manage virtual machine memory settings, see the “Citrix XenServer Administrator’s Guide”, the section on configuring virtual machine memory.
