------------------------------------------------
Summary: Need mechanism to detect if hotadd for cpu/memory is
supported per a specific guest OS supported by VMware.
Key: CLOUDSTACK-3279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3279
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: VMware
Affects Versions: 4.2.0
Reporter: Sateesh Chodapuneedi
Assignee: Sateesh Chodapuneedi
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 4.2.0
Vmware publishes a list for vmware guest os and their supported capabilities
for each vmware release. Example for guest OS Ubuntu 10.04 and ESX some release
4.x we only support hot add of vcpu (and not hot add memory)
GuestOS Release
Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop
Supported Releases
ESX 4.1 U31, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4.1 U21, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4.1 U11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
4.12, 1, 6, 5, 4, 3
Support Details
Hot Add vCPU etc....

Vmware says that the attributes hot add cpu and memory should be turned on
during deployment of vm (i.e. As part of deployvm api) so that in future the
user can dynamically scale cpu and memory(scale vm api). Now I wanted to
understand how to enforce this check in Cloudstack. The best would be Vmware
providing a method to check whether hot add cpu and memory is enabled for the
current GuestOS version in the vmware release. Need such mechanism.
This is related to dynamic scaling of cpu/memory in case of VMware environments.
