3.12 When Using the VMware vSphere 6 VM Host, Specific Operations Fail.

Description

When using a VMware vSphere 6 VM host, the available memory of the VM pool and the VM host is not correctly calculated.
For this reason, operations may fail when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

Operation

Conditions

  • Deployment of L-Platforms

  • Starting L-Servers and L-Platforms

  1. A VM guest is operated on a VMware vSphere 6 VM host

  2. An L-Server is created on the VM host in step a.

  3. The memory size + overhead memory size of the L-Server in step b is larger than the memory size of the VM host on VMware in step a.

  4. After creation of the L-Server in step b is complete, it is powered on.

Live migration of L-Servers

  1. A VM guest is operated on a VMware vSphere 6 VM host

  2. An L-Server is operated on a VM host other than the VM host in step a.

  3. The memory size + overhead memory size of the L-Server in step b is larger than the memory size of the VM host on VMware in step a.

  4. The L-Server in step b is migrated to the VM host in step a.


In this case, the following messages are displayed in the event log.

One of the following is displayed in the detailed message.

[ERROR]The available Memory resources in the parent resource pool are insufficient for the operation.

[ERROR]The host does not have sufficient memory resources to satisfy the reservation.


Corrective Action

The infrastructure administrator should perform the following procedure.

  1. Check the available memory of the VM host on VMware vCenter Server.

  2. Move the L-Server to another VM host that has enough available memory for the corresponding L-Server to operate.
