Question

  • Blist of Bully VMs
  • CMemory Runway
  • DList of Overprovisioned VMs

Explanation

In Nutanix Prism, predefined reporting views help administrators identify inefficient resource usage. 'List of Bully VMs' (B) surfaces VMs that are consuming disproportionately high CPU, memory, or I/O relative to their peers - freeing or right-sizing these VMs can immediately reclaim resources for the cluster. 'List of Overprovisioned VMs' (D) identifies VMs with significantly more vCPU or vRAM allocated than they actually use, making them prime candidates for right-sizing. 'List of Inactive VMs' (A) targets powered-off or idle VMs, which is useful for reclaiming storage but not specifically for memory pressure. 'Memory Runway' (C) is a capacity planning metric showing how long until memory runs out, not a direct list of reclaimable resources.
