      <title>vRA 8 Memory Overprovisioing NOT WORKING!</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;when provisioning a new VM from Cloud Template I get "No placement exists that satisfies all of the request requirements" if I choose more mem then the ESXi (not Cluster) has left. in 7.x I could just set the reservation policy higher and then have no issue with overprovisioning.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I fail to find anything in vRA 8...Basically, I would like to tell vRA to IGNORE any CPU and Mem constraints of the Infra below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its properly strait forward...but I just cant find it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Daniel&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I would have expected that a 0 (zero) would ignore ALL limitations./..looks like it doesn't.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So...I did a lot of experiments. And it turns out vRA doesn't support overprovisioning.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Neither as a Cluster nor as a single ESXi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A ESXi host with 16GB can only have 16GB - ESXi Overhead, and a cluster 16GB - overhead - vCLI VM memory&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This sucks quite hard, as the point of virtualization IS overprovisioning.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Capture.PNG" style="width: 1078px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/98327i274AC9D74A373DF2/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-----&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;formatVersion: 1&lt;BR /&gt;inputs: {}&lt;BR /&gt;resources:&lt;BR /&gt;Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1:&lt;BR /&gt;type: Cloud.vSphere.Machine&lt;BR /&gt;properties:&lt;BR /&gt;image: dl-test&lt;BR /&gt;cpuCount: 2&lt;BR /&gt;totalMemoryMB: 16384&lt;BR /&gt;constraints:&lt;BR /&gt;- tag: test&lt;BR /&gt;networks:&lt;BR /&gt;- network: ${resource.Cloud_vSphere_Network_1.id}&lt;BR /&gt;assignment: dynamic&lt;BR /&gt;Cloud_vSphere_Network_1:&lt;BR /&gt;type: Cloud.vSphere.Network&lt;BR /&gt;properties:&lt;BR /&gt;networkType: existing&lt;BR /&gt;constraints:&lt;BR /&gt;- tag: ProdNetwork&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-----&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not selected because:&lt;BR /&gt;flavor filter: not enough memory, requested '17,179,869,184' but only '12,312,379,392' is available&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;good call! thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;just tested with Resource Quota and Deployment Limit. Sadly both don't work for the problem. They affect the max limit for something ...but vRA seems to check beforehand the available Mem and then just quits.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just wonder why overprovisioning would not be allowed via vRA...that's the whole idea (and COST BENEFIT) of Virtualization!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'd expect the flag to work the opposite way, based on its name and documentation.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;YAP! me too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;BUT it works with true. Tested and working. What surprises me is that this is NOT a Global (visible in the GUI) setting. Quite a lot of my customers use vRA for DEV and in DEV Overprovisioning is what you want. But then this hasn't come up yet as they have BEASTS of Servers (2TB, 128 Cores).&lt;/P&gt;</description>
