The following table explains the performance metrics used during our testing:
Metric | Definition |
CPU usage | The combined average CPU usage of all compute hosts during the steady-state phase. |
CPU core utilization | The CPU utilization percentage of the corresponding core. A core is utilized if one or both of its logical CPUs are used. This figure is averaged across all cores. |
CPU readiness | The percentage of time that the VM was ready but could not get a scheduled run on the physical CPU. |
GPU usage | The combined average GPU usage of all six installed T4 GPUs during the steady-state phase. |
Consumed memory | The average consumed memory across all compute hosts during the steady-state phase. |
Active memory | The average amount of guest “physical” memory actively used across all compute hosts during the steady-state phase. |
Network usage | Network usage per user is the combined average during the steady state phase divided by the number of users on a host in megabits per second. |
Cluster disk IOPS | Read and write Input/Outputs Operations Per Second (IOPS) consumed by all vSAN clients in the cluster, such as virtual machines, stats object, and so on. |
Disk I/O (or cluster) latency | Average read and write latency of I/Os generated by all vSAN clients in the cluster, such as virtual machines, stats object, and so on. |
