Which metrics are displayed on the VM DRS Score page for powered-on VMs in vSphere?

The VM DRS Score page in vSphere provides a comprehensive overview of metrics related to powered-on virtual machines (VMs), allowing administrators to assess the resource utilization and allocation across the hosts. When powered-on VMs are considered, both resource allocation and host performance metrics come into play.

Resource allocation metrics detail how resources like CPU and memory are assigned to each VM. This includes information on how effectively resources are provisioned and helps identify potential contention or overcommitment scenarios.

Simultaneously, host performance metrics reflect the overall performance of the physical hosts running these VMs, including CPU and memory utilization levels, which are crucial for understanding how well the underlying hardware is performing in relation to the workloads being run.

Together, these metrics provide valuable insight into the operational state and health of VMs, enabling effective load balancing and resource management through Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). This comprehensive view aids in making informed decisions regarding resource distribution and VM placement to optimize performance and efficiency across the vSphere environment.
