• CPU resources on the physical computer being used by particular virtual

machines

• The amount of RAM installed on the physical computer

• Physical memory used by the console operating system

• Physical memory used by particular virtual machines

• Physical memory that is not being used

• Usage data for disks on the physical computer, including number of reads and

writes and amount of data read and written

• Usage data on the physical computer’s network adapters, including packets sent
