Each fairness unit represents an increment of 0.001 in a fairness score. The further the fairness score diverges from 1, the less fair the allocation. Therefore, a fairness score of 990, representing 0.990, is more fair than a fairness score of 1015, which represents 1.015. This is because 1.015 is further from 1 than 0.990.

| cpuAllocLimit | number | 3.0 | The utilization of a virtual machine will not exceed this limit, even if there are available resources. This is typically used to ensure a consistent performance of virtual machines independent of available resources. If set to -1, then there is no fixed limit on resource usage (only bounded by available resources and shares). Units are MB for memory, MHz for CPU.
Default rollup: lastvalue |
| cpuAllocReservation | number | 3.0 | Amount of resource that is guaranteed available to the virtual machine or resource pool. Reserved resources are not wasted if they are not used. If the utilization is less than the reservation, the resources can be utilized by other running virtual machines. Units are MB for memory, MHz for CPU.

Default rollup: average |
| cpuUsedPct | percent | 1.0 | Percentage of the potential physical server's CPU time that this virtual machine was busy during the last interval. For example, consider an 8-core esx server w/ a single 2-core VM. If each core is rated at 3,000 Mhz and the VM consumes an average of 5,400 Mhz over the interval, then the cpuUsedPct would be 90% (since 6,000 is the maximum that a 2-core VM could consume). Correspondly, 5,400 Mhz represents 23% of the ESX server's total capability of 24,000 Mhz. Refer to HostStats.cpuUsedPct for this server percentage. Default rollup: average |
| cpuWaitPct | percent | 3.0 | Percentage of time during the last sample that the virtual machine CPU resources were in the "wait" state. For example, on a physical server with 2 CPU threads, during a 300 second interval 600 seconds of CPU resources are available. If the VM was in a "wait" state for 60 seconds the cpuWaitPct would be 10%.
