•
Current Capacity: Includes information about the following metrics: Running VMs, Available VMs, and Total VMs.
•
Constraint: Includes information about the following metrics: Cluster Name and Time to Full.
•
Datastore(s) Included: Allows you to select from the drop-down list the datastores.
The following options are available: All Datastores (default option) and particular datastores that varies depending on the virtual center/datacenter selected by the group selector.
•
All Datastores: The Slot Size and available slots are calculated based on all available datastores.
•
Particular datastore: The Slot Size and available slots are calculated based on the cluster/host connected to the selected datastore.
* 
NOTE: The Clusters/Hosts pane is automatically updated to reflect the selection made.
•
Slot Size: Allows you to select from the drop-down list the size of the virtual machine (the slot size).
The following options are available: Based on VM, Cluster Average (default option), Cluster Maximum, and Custom Size.
For details, see the “Calculating Slot Size Based on VM” and “Calculating Slot Size Using Custom Size” sections.
