Description

Error Message

Issue reproduced in-house. In the example below, the virtual machine was configured without any swap:

[root@server103 sort]# ./sortdc
===========================================================================
| Checking available driver (server103) resources
===========================================================================
| Free swap: 0 , Required: 300 MB
 
ERROR: sortdc cannot proceed due to insufficient resource(s) noted above.
Increase the resource(s), then re-run sortdc.

 

Cause

This is a know issue in data collector versions prior to 3.17

Resolution

The latest data collector can be downloaded from: https://docs.infoscale.com 

In sortdc.conf with the fix in place or version 3.17 or later, set the following variable to 'yes':
RUN_DC_WITH_NO_SWAP_CHECK=yes
This ensures that data collector ignores the fact the host has no swap
