The rest says that 67% of storage is in use by in-queue virtual machines. Knowing that over time Linux will use all memory you give it, the question is whether the remaining free storage is enough to convince CP that it is wise to take on more work. It is not really the 33% because your (default) SRM parameters may tell it to use only part of your storage for Q3 virtual machines. Do not listen to the end-users or application folks who tell you how big the virtual machine must be if they come from an Intel machine. These machines were not sized by need but by catalogue or budget. On Intel too much memory probably does not hurt, but for virtual machines it helps to make them lean.
