Yes, you are right, load 30 with a 2 CPU VM is nearly impossible.

What is the workload from the VM? Is it an IO bound workload?

Yes I understand how virtualization works, but what I'm saying is that my hosts each have 16 cores, 256gb ram, 10GBe networking and all SSD storage with VMs allocation only a fraction of the available resources, yet high load on a single VM with 2 cpus and 4gb ram allocated can cause the host load to rise above 30. I'm trying to determine why one VM with limited resources can cause the load on the host to go up so much.

Also the nature of Converged compute and storage will cause more usage on a host than you are used to seeing...

I am not trying to be sarcastic here, but the host resources are controlled by what you allocate to the vm... that is kinda how virtualization works On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 8:47 AM Jayme wrote: > I'm wondering how I can best limit the ability of VMs to overrun the load > on hosts.
