Possible bug: VM does not release resources when shutdown

[Fazirul Hanafe]

I am currently trying out a simple simulation by assigning a single CloudletSimple with the default UtilizationModelNull for ram and bandwidth. After the cloudlet has finished execution on the allocated VM (VmSimple) and the VM has shutdown, I noticed that the VM does not release ram and bandwidth resources on the host. A quick solution is to use UtilizationModelFull instead for ram and bandwidth.

I want to know is this the expected behaviour? Shouldn't the host release all resources used by the VM even if the VM utilization is not 100%?

Seems like the logic is done in HostSimple.deallocateResourcesOfVm(final Vm vm). You can set a breakpoint on line 673 when debugging to verify the bug.

Thank you!

Hello Fazirul,

Your message went straight to my spam folder.

This may occur because, by default, the broker just finishes VMs it's shutdown.

I don't know if that is the case, but try calling broker.setVmDestructionDelay(1);

That indicates all VMs must be destroyed 1 second after becoming idle.
