Hello Experts,
I have the below script to add/modify some VMSettings in our cluster. We first powered off the VMs then ran the script which showed that it is setting the values for both new advanced settings the "followcorespersocket and the numa.autosize.vcpu.maxPerVirtualNode. After the script finished, we ran verification and it showed that the values for both VM settings is correct on all VMs. We started powering on the VMs but the VMs were not stable so we powered them down and then re-ran a verification script to find that the VMs only copied the first VM setting only but not the second one even though the verification right after the script fifnished showed both correctly!
We powered down the VMs again, ran the script again, seems like the script got the second VM setting the second time right. Powered on the VMs, they were stable, then ran the verification and everything seems correct. Does any body know why did the VMs did not copy both VM settings correctly on the first run? Do we need to introduce a pause in between the two commands for a few seconds to give the VM a chance to copy the new VM settings correctly? Your inputs is highly appreciated. Thanks
