Description of problem: VM not getting auto power on after provisioning from CFME 3.1 if memory size is more than 4GB Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cfme-5.3.3.2-1.el6cf.x86_64 RHEV 3.4 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Provision a VM using template 2. Increase the VM memory to 5 GB in Hardware section of 'Provision Virtual Machines' page. Actual results: VM is getting provisioned but it is not getting auto power on. Need to go on RHEV portal and start it manually. Expected results: VM should auto start. Additional info: Below error message is seen in logs: automation.log-Apr23-6: ~~~ [2015-04-23T12:53:44.505643 #7957:9bb004] INFO -- : Q-task_id([service_template_provision_task_1000000000008]) In State=[checkprovisioned], invoking [on_error] method=[update_serviceprovision_status(status => '[RhevmApiError]: [Cannot edit VM.

As a work around, added more memory options as below: 1) Login to CFME as admin 2) Click Automate > Customization 3) Provisioning Dialogs > Sample RedHat VM Provisioning Dialog 4) Configuration > Copy this dialog 5) Give a Unique name and description 6) Search for VM_memory in the code and add entries for high memory as per requirements 7) Save the Dialog and make proper attachment to Invoke the same for VM provisioning Can we add more memory options in default view? Same query is asked in BZ-1096244
Nikhil, Are you using a custom dialog? The default dialogs only show 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb for the memory selection. From what I am reading in the RHEV log snippets that you pasted, it sounds like you are trying to reserve more memory for the VM than you have allocated to it. Is that correct?
Brandon, 1. This issue was raised by the one of our customers. Yes, by default dialogs only show 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb for the memory selection but there is an option to specify 'VM Reservations Memory (MB)'. 2. Customer was selecting 4GB in memory selection and 5GB in VM Reservation section. Therefore he was getting below error: automation.log-Apr23-6: ~~~ [2015-04-23T12:53:44.505643 #7957:9bb004] INFO -- : Q-task_id([service_template_provision_task_1000000000008]) In State=[checkprovisioned], invoking [on_error] method=[update_serviceprovision_status(status => '[RhevmApiError]: [Cannot edit VM. Physical Memory Guaranteed cannot exceed Memory Size.]')] ~~~ 3. So here requirement is to have more memory selection options in default dropdown list such as 1Gb, 2Gb, 3Gb, 4Gb, 5Gb at least till 8Gb. Which is already asked in following bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096244 As this one is duplicate I will close it.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1096244 ***
Reopening because there should be a validation to prevent reservation from being larger than selected amount of memory

Good to go. Verified and working fine in 5.5.0.8-beta1.4.20151027164951_4ab7fea. Appliance now throws validation message stating: " 'Hardware/Memory (MB)' Reservation is larger than VM Memory "
