The Disk page shows virtual disk performance information and resources allocated to the virtual disk. Disk bandwidth represents the amount of data that is written to or read from the server's physical disks.
The values under Performance are based on the past five minutes. The period of time these statistics cover can be modified. See Configuring the Statistics Period for the VMware Management Interface.
The values under Resources indicate a range of system memory to which the virtual machine is entitled.
For more information on share values, refer to the resource management man pages: cpu, diskbw, and mem.
These values can be modified. Click Edit. For information on changing disk settings, see www.vmware.com/support/esx2/doc/esx20admin_res-disk-intro.html.
