Troubleshooting Set CPU
Resources or Set Memory Resources When the Value Is Not Supported
If you run the Set
CPU Resources action with an unsupported value on a virtual machine, the task
fails and an error appears in the Recent Task messages.
The Recent Tasks list indicates that
a Set CPU Resource or Set Memory Resource action has a state of
Failed
. When you evaluate the Messages list for the selected
task, you see a message similar to the following examples.
RuntimeFault exception, message:[A specified parameter was not correct. spec.cpuAllocation.reservation]
RuntimeFault exception, message:[A specified parameter was not correct. spec.cpuAllocation.limits]
You submitted the action to increase
or decrease the CPU or memory reservation or limit value with an unsupported
value. For example, if you supplied a negative integer other than -1, which
sets the value to unlimited,
vCenter Server
cannot make the change and the action failed.
- Run the action with a supported value.The supported values for reservation include 0 or a value greater than 0. The supported values for limit include -1, 0, or a value greater than 0.
