The available memory resources in the parent resource pool are insufficient for the operation

I have deployed the new VM. But unable to power ON the virtual machine. Its showing the below message

This issue is caused to high memory reservations set on few virtual machines. The memory is being reserved only for those machines even if it’s not being used; hence the new virtual machine does not have enough memory to power on. Hence the suggestion would be that the reservation for those virtual machines be reduced, so that some memory would be made available for the new virtual machine to power on. Please refer to the vSphere HA Guide available from the following URL on Page 20 for more information about the Admission Control Slot Calculation. http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-availability-guide.pdf

Symptom: The host and VMs in a vcenter server appears to be disconnected. Issue: The host and its corresponding vms could appear as disconnected due to issue with any of the following services. vpxa - a service which runs in the esxi host. This service communicates with vcenter server. hostd - core service which runs in the esxi host vpxd - a service which runs in the vcenter server which communicates with the vpxa Resolution: 1. Try to ping the ESXi host. This ensures that the host is reachable 2. Ensure you can login to the VMs remotely. This ensures that VMs in the host are working fine. 3. Try to login to the ESXi host using vsphere client. This ensures that the hostd services are running perfectly. If this step fails, restart the hostd service using putty. 4. If the above three steps worked fine for you, the issue would be with the vpxa or vpxd service. In that case, first try to restart the vpxa service in the host and if that didnot resol
