I get the following error "insufficient resources to satisfy configured level for vsphere ha" when trying to power on a w2k8 32vCpu 130gb virtual machine. vCenter/esx 5.0 u1.
Cluster consists of 16 hosts @ 4 socket 10 cores per socket and 260gb each. Admission control is enabled to tolerate 1 host failure. Average cpu usage for cluster is 11% and average mem usage is 24%.
Why can I not power it on with above settings and usage on the hosts which is low?
When I change admission control policy to "percentage of cluster resources reserved as failover spare capacity @ 25% cpu & 25% mem. I am then able to power on the virtual machine.
Thanks
