I'm concerned about disabling it and having unexpected behavior if the system actually does end up using all of its swap space. Any insight?

  That's what I'm showing right now, but I don't have as many VM's
running at the moment. There are currently 8 running and I was getting
that issue yesterday when I got around the 15 vm mark.

           * Cannot run VM. Host swap percentage is above the defined

             - Check your configuration parameters for Host Swap Percentage.

    what do you see under host general subtab for swap percentage?



iirc, you can either disable the swap check via the config EnableSwapCheck, or change the threshold via BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage
(which would be a confusing name if it affects RunVm and not only migration...)
