Foglight Resource Optimizer for VMware Environments known issues

Defect ID

Known Issue

VFOG-12427

Summary: Foglight Resource Optimizer can reclaim CPU & Memory resources only on one VM at the same time, when the Hot-Add feature was not enabled.

Details:

The Hot-Add feature only can be enabled in VMware® vSphere® Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus versions, but not on the Standard version.

Only VM Hardware version 7 or later support the Hot-Add feature.

The Guest OS of the VM also needs to support the Hot-Add feature.

Workaround: For any Hot-Add disabled VMs, do not reclaim CPU & Memory resources at the same time, otherwise, one of the reclaim actions would fail.

VFOG-12306

When upgrading VMware-Optimizer-5_6_16_1.car to version 5.7.0 (or later), follow one of these processes:

  • Upgrade the VMware-Optimizer-5_7_4.car before upgrading Optimizer-5.7.4 car.

  • Disable VMware-Optimizer-5_6_16_1.car before upgrading to Optimizer-5_7_4.car and VMware-Optimizer-5_7_4.car.

VFOG-12221

When reclaiming selected resources based on the Optimizer recommendations, these entries are removed from the recommendations list while the reclaim operation is in progress. When the reclaim operation completes, these recommendations re-appear on the list for a short time (less than 5 minutes). These recommendations are finally removed from the list only after new data has been retrieved (in next 5 minutes).

VFOG-11968

Support resize for hosts using GRUB2 boot loader.

VFOG-11203

Remove platforms that have reached end of life and add support to new releases.

VFOG-11144

Support disk resize on disk without partition.

VFOG-10712

Adding constraints on an ESX Host does not change the recommendations for the VMs residing within that host.

VFOG-9477

When installing the CommonAnalytics-5_6_16.car cartridge, a lot of warnings are reported in the Management Server log file. These warnings refer to deprecated properties, and can be ignored.

VFOG-9104

Implement Storage remediation for SQL Server clusters.

VFOG-7235

Renew the currently used version of NTFS-3G in vOptimizer ISO.
