Troubleshooting Set CPU Resources or Set Memory Resources When the Value is
Not Supported
If you run the Set CPU Resources action with an unsupported value on a virtual machine, the task fails and
an error appears in the Recent Task messages.
Problem
The Recent Tasks list indicates that a Set CPU Resource or Set Memory Resource action has a state of Failed.
When you evaluate the Messages list for the selected task, you see a message similar to the following
examples.
RuntimeFault exception, message:[A specified parameter was not correct.

RuntimeFault exception, message:[A specified parameter was not correct.
spec.cpuAllocation.limits]
Cause
You submied the action to increase or decrease the CPU or memory reservation or limit value with an
unsupported value. For example, if you supplied a negative integer other than -1, which sets the value to

Solution
u
Run the action with a supported value.
The supported values for reservation include 0 or a value greater than 0. The supported values for limit
include -1, 0, or a value greater than 0.
