VM cluster Alarm Definition does not allow Migrate VM in VCF 9.1.0

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

• The Resource Pool page is not being populated when setting up an alarm definition on the vSphere UI as follows:
• • Log into the vSphere as a user with the appropriate permissions
  • Select the "Configure" tab on the right hand side.
  • Select "Alarm Definitions".
  • Select "ADD".
  • In "Edit Alarm Definition" pop up, complete "1 Name and Targets"
  • On "2 Alarm Rule 1" configure the alarm and from the "Select an advanced action" drop down menu select "Migrate VM"
  • In the "Migrate VM" pop select an ESXi host in the "1 Destination" page and select "NEXT".
  • The next page presented is the "2 Resource Pool" page.
  • There is nothing presented there - "No items to display"
• It is expected that there should be resource pools populated, as resource pools are configured.

Environment

• VCF 9.1.0

Cause

• The user interface is preventing available resource options from displaying correctly during the Migrate VM alarm definition setup process.

Resolution

1. In the vSphere UI, on a standalone host (i.e. not one that is part of a cluster), right click and select "New Resource Pool".
2. Create the Alarm Definition to Migrate VM, after selecting a host - the resource pool will be selectable and the alarm definition workflow can be progressed in the workflow.

Additional Information

• This issue is intended to be resolved in a future release of software.
