Problem
Memory usage is constantly high (94% or greater) or constantly low (24% or less).

Free memory consistently is 6% or less and swapping frequently occurs.

Cause
The host probably is lacking the memory required to meet the demand. The active memory size is the

same as the granted memory size, which results in memory resources that are not sufficient for the workload. Granted memory is too much if the active memory is constantly low.
Host machine memory resources are not enough to meet the demand, which leads to memory

reclamation and degraded performance.
The active memory size is the same as the granted memory size, which results in memory resources

that are not sufficient for the workload.
Solution
Verify that VMware Tools is installed on each virtual machine. The balloon driver is installed with

VMware Tools and is critical to performance.
Verify that the balloon driver is enabled. The VMkernel regularly reclaims unused virtual machine

memory by ballooning and swapping. Generally, this does not impact virtual machine performance.
Reduce the memory space on the virtual machine, and correct the cache size if it is too large. This

frees up memory for other virtual machines.
If the memory reservation of the virtual machine is set to a value much higher than its active memory,

decrease the reservation setting so that the VMkernel can reclaim the idle memory for other virtual machines on the host.
Migrate one or more virtual machines to a host in a DRS cluster.

Add physical memory to the host.
