Hi,
Let me simplify things.

We do not allow swapping in general. The reason is that it kills the
performance
of all hosts.

As you were able to see in our code (0 is the default config value we have)
we expect the following expression:

swap_total - swap_free - mem_available) * 100 / physical_mem_mb) <= 0

And in your case we see the value is > 0.
This means that swap_total < (swap_free+mem_available) or in general
your host is swapping.

Since the host is swapping, we do not allow to run a VM on it.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
Doron
