What is the maximum size of the heap in VMware ESXi?
With the release on ESXi 5. 0p5 in March 2013 & 5. 1U1 in April 2013, both the default and the maximum size of the heap has been increased to 640MB. This means that the full 64TB of a VMFS volume may be addressed.
How much heap space does a vmfs-5 volume need?
As a rule of thumb, we are conservatively estimating that a single ESXi host should have enough default heap space to address around 10TB of open files/VMDKs on a VMFS-5 volume.
How many vmdks can be addressed by one ESXi host?
If you change the advanced setting VMFS3.MaxHeapSizeMB to the maximum amount of heap (which is 256MB ), we again conservatively estimate that about 30TB of open files/VMDKs can be addressed by that single ESXi host.
What is the main consumer of VMFS heap?
The main consumer of VMFS heap are the pointer blocks which are used to address file blocks in very large files/VMDKs on a VMFS filesystem. Therefore, the larger your VMDKs, the more VMFS heap you can consume. This is more true on VMFS-5, where double-indirect pointers exist to allow the unified 1MB file block size back a 2TB VMDK.
