AnswerWhat report is accurate to show RAM per VM and Host RAM use?

    Is there an accurate report that will graphically show the real RAM use of each VM and the Host in a convenient format? I haven't seen one, or found one. Thank you for the help!

    Hello,

    You can quickly see host RAM and VM RAM allocation from the standpoint of Hyper-V from SCVMM.  Since Hyper-V allocates RAM regardless of host usage, that should fit.  From the standpoint of RAM utilization within VMs, that would be no different than a physical server.  Use any monitoring package of choice.
