We're running a ASAv v9.5(2)2 in ESXi 5.5 environment. What's odd is that vCenter is showing high CPU usage, 80-95%, while the ASAv itself is only showing 25-35% CPU usage. Has anyone seen this before? That's quite a large disparity in usage and I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

Anyone? Bueller?
 
I haven't used the Virtual ASA but it may be like solaris where it takes 90 -99 % of what you allocate and shows it as busy, but internally it may only use 50% of the 90% it took.

Make sense?
