So it was a good chance for me to teach him. I’m glad though because that 8 gb reservation (on several servers) may have bit him in the backside after I was long gone.

The funny thing is that this "slots" concept was around since 3.x.x - but VMware did absolute nothing to education people about it. I mean back in those days it wasn't in any courseware... So you have my sympathies, because personally I think we dropped the ball on this one - by not education the end-user base correctly..... I find customers find the whole slot concept very alienating. Having explained it a number of times, I've yet to meet a customer say - gee, that's so intuitive and logical. However, comparing a cluster to resource pool, and the % as "reservation" not for performance, but spare fail-over capacity it goes down a treat... I’m with Duncan on this one.
