 Key reasons for a slow VM


A virtual machine (VM) might be running slowly due to a lack of allocated system resources like insufficient CPU cores, low RAM, a slow storage device, network congestion, outdated VM tools, improper VM configuration, or running resource-intensive applications within the VM itself; essentially, the host machine might not have enough power to handle the demands of the VM. 

==============================================

How to diagnose and fix a slow VM:

Monitor VM performance: Use the hypervisor's monitoring tools to check CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, and network traffic on the VM. 

Allocate more resources: Increase the amount of CPU cores and RAM assigned to the VM. 

Upgrade storage: Consider moving the VM disk to an SSD for faster performance. 

Optimize network settings: Check network configuration and ensure proper bandwidth allocation. 

Install latest VM tools: Update the VM tools to the latest version. 

Review VM configuration: Double-check VM settings like network adapters, disk allocation, and guest OS settings. 

Consider a dedicated host: If necessary, allocate a separate physical host machine to the VM to avoid resource competition.

Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.
