Issue/Introduction
-
VgpuMMAutomationTimeoutSecs
-
With vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3f and vSphere 7.0.3 or newer, a DRS Cluster Advanced Options override was added to provide Virtual Infrastructure Admins a way to OPT-IN to automated evacuation of vGPU Virtual Machines:
-
Option: VgpuMMAutomationTimeoutSecs
Value: -1
-
Manual Evacuation: vGPU VM can be manually live migrated when asking host enter maintenance mode.
-
Automatic Evacuation: vGPU VM can be auto live migrated when asking host enter maintenance and "VgpuMMAutomationTimeoutSecs" is set to -1.
-
DRS recommendation: DRS can recommend a host that a vGPU VM can migrate to.
When VC is 80U1a and higher version, ESXi Host in DRS cluster, with powered on vGPU VMs can be remediated using VUM/vLCM.
When DRS Cluster Advanced Option VgpuMMAutomationTimeoutSecs is set to -1, DRS recommends compatible hosts in the Cluster, and vGPU VMs are automatically migrated when host enters Maintenance Mode.
If VgpuMMAutomationTimeoutSecs is not set to -1, then DRS does not recommend compatible hosts in the Cluster, and only option user has is to manually evacuate VMs.
Resolution
The page lists VC and ESX versions support matrix compatibility w.r.t vGPU Virtual Machine automated migration for Host Maintenance Mode in a DRS Cluster (88271)
Support Matrix
-
vGPU VMs evacuation to be done manually for VC release < 7.0U3f for upgrades
-
vGPU VMs evacuation could be done automatically for VC release > 7.0U3f on setting the attribute (VgpuMMAutomationTimeoutSecs)
-
vGPU VMs evacuation to be done automatically for VC 8.x release and recommendations to be passed to vLCM (vLCM Integration)
