Missing Column Data in the Set Memory for VM Dialog Box
The read-only data columns do not display the current values, which makes it dicult to properly specify a
new memory value.
Problem
Current (MB) and Power State columns do not display the current values, which are collected for the
managed object.
Cause
The adapter responsible for collecting data from the vCenter Server on which the target virtual machine is
running has not run a collection cycle and collected the data. This can occur when you recently created an
VMware adapter instance for the target vCenter Server and initiated an action. The VMware vSphere
adapter has a 5-minute collection cycle.
Solution
1 After you create a VMware adapter instance, wait an additional 5 minutes.
2 Rerun the Set Memory for VM action.
The current memory value and the current power state appear in the dialog box.
Host Name Does Not Appear in Action Dialog Box
When you run an action on a virtual machine, the host name is blank in the action dialog box.
Problem
When you select virtual machine on which to run an action, and click the Action buon, the dialog box
appears, but the Host column is empty.
Cause
Although your user role is congured to run action on the virtual machines, you do not have a user roll that
provides you with access to the host. You can see the virtual machines and run actions on them, but you
cannot see the host data for the virtual machines. vRealize Operations Manager cannot retrieve data that
you do not have permission to access.
Solution
You can run the action, but you cannot see the host name in the action dialog boxes.
Monitor Recent Task Status
The Recent Task status includes all the tasks initiated from vRealize Operations Manager. You use the task
status information to verify that your tasks nished successfully or to determine the current state of tasks.
You can monitor the status of tasks that are started when you run actions, and investigate whether a task
nished successfully.
Prerequisites
You ran at least one action as part of an alert recommendation or from one of the toolbars. See “Run Actions
From Toolbars in vRealize Operations Manager,” on page 62.
Procedure
1 In the left pane of vRealize Operations Manager, click the Administration icon.
2 Click Recent Tasks.
