Disk storage not accounted for under the virtual machine's project

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• On a VM deployment a additional disk was added using the Day 2 Action of Aria Automation. The disk was then increased directly in vSphere however after a successful data collection the project zone limits are not corrected
• On a VM deployment an additional disk was added outside of Aria Automation (e.g. by using vSphere or ESXi host client), the new disk is then never seen in the deployment and project zone limits are incorrect

Environment

Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

The project limits only account for deployments created with Aria Automation. The limits will be updated after allocating the successful deployment or corrected with a full enumeration.

Any resources added to deployments outside of Aria Automation are ignored.

Resolution

To avoid incorrect project resource limit always deploy additional resources directly from Aria Automation.

In situations where an additional disk has been increased outside of Aria Automation then please allow a full enumeration to correct the project limits. A full enumeration is run every 24 hours.
