[WAC Virtual Machines and Switches] - Unable to hot-add memory to running VMs

Open ddcunningham opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Gateway Version: 1.3.2204.19002 Extension Versions WAC version 2110.2 Virtual machines and switches 2.65.0 Failover cluster tools 2.81.0 Cluster Manager 2.120.0

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Navigate to Server Manager, Cluster Manager, or All connections.
  2. Select a server running Hyper V 2016 and up (which is confirmed to support memory hot-add)
  3. Navigate to Virtual Machines on the left sidebar, and select a given, powered on VM.
  4. Navigate to that VM's settings view, then Memory. Note that you cannot change any settings since the VM is powered on.

Expected behavior The ability to hot-add memory to an online VM ( or perform a runtime memory resize ), should be an available feature within WAC if the underlying Hyper-V server supports it, from what I can tell online. This seems to be a regressive bug.

Hi @ddcunningham,

Is this issue still occurring on our latest build?

Kind regards, Rebecca

Yes, the issue can be reproduced on 2306. We haven't updated beyond that. Do you have a fix in a subsequent build?

No, no fix yet, but since you have confirmed it is still reoccurring, I will file a bug for more investigation. Thank you!

I checked this out and confirm the issue no longer exists.
