VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

  • Rubrik will perform a test to validate of the newly deployed Backup VM. This validation test may fail with below message.

    "NOT OK. Edge VM Requirements have not been met."

  • Backup VM will be able to power-on and no errors reported for the VM in the vCenter server.

Environment

VMware vSAN 7.x
VMware vSAN 8.x

Cause

The validation test is failing as the VM does not meet Rubrik's minimum IOPS criteria.
This happens if there is an IOPS limits configured for the Virtual machine using the VM Storage Policy, which is less than the minimum requirement.


Rubrik validation test will report failure while validating the IOPS and Throughput of the drives.

Resolution

Disable the IOPS limit set for the Storage policy applied for the Rubrik VM.

Note:
This change will be applied for all the Virtual machines using this policy. If this change need to be applied only for the backup VM, please create a new Storage policy with IOPS limit disabled and apply to the new policy to the backup VM.


Steps to disable the IOPS limit in the storage policy:

  • Navigate to VM Storage Policies in the vCenter UI.
  • Edit the Storage policy used by the Rubrik Backup VM.
  • Update the IOPS Limit for object to 0.
