I have compiled a list of "things" that can cause you to run out of capacity resources in your ESX data center and run into performance problems or even downtime:
1. Adding new VMs though uncontrolled VM sprawl
2. Removing hosts from clusters
3. HA enabling your cluster without accounting for fail over
4. Changing Fail Over Capacity setting in a Cluster
5. Increasing reservations in VMs
6. Changing Resource Pool Configurations
7. Power up many VMs that were powered off or in maintenance
8. Natural growth rates in Storage, CPU, Memory and Network utilization
9. Changes in workloads can result in Disk I/O bottlenecks
Did I miss any? Let me know abakman@vkernel.com
