Description Mihir Lele 2020-03-10 08:44:44 UTC
Description of problem: 

Customer would like to provision a VM through the Vmware Provider with the " Reserve all guest memory (All locked) " box checked inside VMware.  "memory_reserve_expand" set to true is not working.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  4.7


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a custom domain having "memory_reserve_expand" set to true
2. Provision a VM with Vmware provider
3. Check if the " Reserve all guest memory (All locked) " box is checked inside Vmware.

Additional info: NA

Mihir,

You can see here that "memory_reserve_expand" is only referenced during inventory collection/parsing.
https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-vmware/search?q=memory_reserve_expand&unscoped_q=memory_reserve_expand

This value is currently not used during provisioning.  Setting it is "set_option" or seeing it in "Prov Options" is not an indication that it is being passed to VMware during the provisioning api call.  Those calls just set the options hash for the task and print the hash to the log as part of the provisioning task processing.

I feel this is an RFE.
