Unable to resize a VM in Assembler if a flavor mapping with matching values does not exists

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

Previously in versions of Aria Automation 8.18.0 and below, flavor mappings could be used as a limit reference, where users could perform a day-2 action to resize VMs to values below those defined in a flavor mapping.

Starting with Aria Automation 8.18.1, the function/purpose of flavor mappings have been improved where resizing a virtual machine's values for CPUs, Memory, and Cores per Socket to values other than those in an existing flavor mapping will fail.

Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.1

Cause

Flavor mappings are a means to create target deployment sizes for specific regions/cloud zones, simplifying cloud template creation.

Resolution

Create an additional flavor mapping with values more commonly used by users, or with values which users are authorized to resize their virtual machine resources to.
