Question
An administrator is upgrading an ESXi 5.5 host to ESXi 6.x and gets the following error: MEMORY_SIZE What does this indicate?
Options
- AInsufficient memory on the ESXi host to complete the upgrade.
- BInsufficient memory for Auto Deploy to complete the upgrade.
- CInsufficient memory in vCenter Server to complete the upgrade.
- DInsufficient memory for Update Manager to complete the upgrade.
Explanation
The MEMORY_SIZE error during an ESXi upgrade indicates the physical host does not have enough RAM to meet ESXi 6.x minimum hardware requirements.
Common mistakes.
- B. Auto Deploy is a stateless provisioning feature that PXE-boots ESXi images; it does not perform prerequisite memory checks on target hosts that would surface as a MEMORY_SIZE error.
- C. vCenter Server runs on its own separate appliance or VM with independent memory requirements; the MEMORY_SIZE error originates from the hardware validation check on the ESXi host being upgraded, not on vCenter.
- D. Update Manager orchestrates the upgrade workflow but the MEMORY_SIZE error is generated by the ESXi installer binary validating hardware requirements on the target host, not by Update Manager itself.
Concept tested. ESXi 6.x minimum hardware memory requirements
