Vmware Slot Size Calculation

After you create a cluster, you can configure admission control to specify whether virtual machines can be started if they violate availability constraints. The cluster reserves resources so that failover can occur for all running virtual machines on the specified number of hosts.

VMware Cloud Sizer. Available slots = Total slot – Used slots i,e Available slots = 234 – 6 = 228. It should come as 228 as available slots but why Available slots is 150 in the above snapshot. Is that wrong or VMware did something wrong in HA slot calculation? Below is the method of calculation for Total Slots, Used Slots & Available slots.

The Admission Control page appears only if you enabled vSphere HA.

• By Duncan Epping, Principal Architect, VMware Yesterday I received a question on twitter: Hi, to settle an argument in the office, if no reserves are in place, does number of vCPU’s affect slot size in vSphere 4? Thx 🙂 First of all, what is a slot? The availability guide explains it as follows A slot.
• Each of them has its own calculation. If there are no virtual machine resource reservations in the cluster, then the slot size (for ESXi 5 at least) is 32 Mhz for CPU and 0 MBs + overhead for memory. (I’ve used 80 MBs as my memory overhead in the examples) On to an incredibly simplistic diagram.

Procedure

1. In the vSphere Client, browse to the vSphere HA cluster.
2. Click the Configure tab.
3. Select vSphere Availability and click Edit.
4. Click Admission Control to display the configuration options.
5. Select a number for the Host failures cluster tolerates. This is the maximum number of host failures that the cluster can recover from or guarantees failover for.
6. Select an option for Define host failover capacity by. Option

   Description
   Cluster resource percentage	Specify a percentage of the cluster’s CPU and memory resources to reserve as spare capacity to support failovers.
   Slot Policy (powered-on VMs)	Select a slot size policy that covers all powered on VMs or is a fixed size. You can also calculate how many VMs require multiple slots.
   Dedicated failover hosts	Select hosts to use for failover actions. Failovers can still occur on other hosts in the cluster if a default failover host does not have enough resources.
   Disabled	Select this option to disable admission control and allow virtual machine power ons that violate availability constraints.

7. Set the percentage for the Performance degradation VMs tolerate.
   This setting determines what percentage of performance degradation the VMs in the cluster are allowed to tolerate during a failure.
8. Click OK.
