Resource Bundles Become Unusable Because DRS Is Disabled
When a vSphere administrator disables DRS for the cluster that Data Director uses, all resource pools become
unavailable.
Problem
If a vSphere administrators disables DRS functionality for the Data Director cluster from the vSphere Client,
all resource pools become unavailable and the installation is unusable. Resource bundles, database groups,
and storage and backup storage no longer work properly.
Renabling the cluster for DRS does not resolve the issue. No automated way for recovering from the situation
exists.
Cause
vCenter Server supports resource pools only for clusters that have DRS enabled.
Solution
1 Reenable DRS for the cluster.
2 Delete all resource bundles and database groups that use the affected cluster.
3 Recreate the resource pools in vSphere, and recreate the resource bundles and database groups in Data
Director.
4 Import each database virtual machine into Data Director.
Missing Resource Pool
When you create a resource bundle, the resource pool you want to use is not included in the list of resource
pools.
Problem
When you create a resource bundle you assign a resource pool that encapsulates the CPU and memory
resources. The resource pool you want to use is not available in the list of resource pools to choose from.
Cause
Data Director includes only resource pools that are compatible with Data Director resource bundles. A resource
pool must meet a set of criteria to be included in the list. If the criteria are not met, the resource pool is not
included in the list of available resource pools.
The resource pool must meet the following requirements:
n
Resource pool is not already in use by Data Director.
n
CPU limit and CPU reservation must be the same.
n
Memory limit and memory reservation must be the same.
n
CPU limit is expandable.
n
Memory limit is expandable.
n
The resource pool has no child resource pools.
n
The resource pool has no child virtual machines.
n
The cluster configuration for the resource pool is compatible with Data Director.
