VSPP Partners Check Your vCloud Usage Meter vRAM Calculation

We catch that vDirector Usage Meter vRAM billing calculation change after vCenter upgrade to last version 😀

We learned that ‘There is a bug which is not recorded in system.’

A new billing memory calculation is simplified and no longer limits billable vRAM based on reservation pool virtual datacenters.

It is now simply the larger of either the reserved memory or half the configured memory for the virtual machine. This billing change only

applies to new collections. The Usage Meter does not modify existing data, nor data associated with an upgrade.
