Did the customer try to change the number of sockets or the number of CPUs per socket? I was able to add an additional socket to a running VM through CFME, but changing the number of cores per socket failed, and the field is greyed out in the vSphere client.
I have tried: - Add more sockets. - Add more CPUs. - Add more memory. All in one request and in separate requests. In all of them i have the error in "hot plug" state, only works if the VM is shutdown, "cold" state.
Can you enable debug logging for evm and vim and reproduce? All I see are the warnings and errors in the logs but I'd like to see the vm config spec that was created for the reconfig task.
We were able to add CPU sockets to a powered on vm that had CPU Hot Plug enabled. Errors were caused by: 1. Adding CPUs to a VM that did not have cpu hot plug enabled 2. Changing CPUs per socket (not supported for a powered on VM even with hot plug enabled) 3. Adding memory to a VM that does not have memory hot plug enabled 4. Adding more memory than the hotPlugMemoryLimit We should have validation checks for these conditions so that the user does not get a cryptic error message like "Invalid virtual machine configuration" Changing to an RFE to add these checks.
