Hi,
Recently I have tried to deploy VM based on Template using PowerCLI and realized that if DataStore Cluster is used, VM is placed there in an Fully automated SDRS mode and with enabled intra-VM affinity rule (you can see this in VM Overrides of DataStore Cluster settings via vSphere Web Client after VM was deployed).
This behavior was mentioned in PowerCLI reference of New-VM's cmdlet parameter Datastore.
SDRS mode for DataStore Cluster mentioned above is No Automation (Manual Mode).
Version of PowerCLI 6.5.1
VMware vSphere 6.0
The goal is to use DRS and Storage DRS levels during VM creation as configured on Cluster level.
I have tried to deploy VM based on Template using vSphere Web Client and no VM Overrides rules were created and No Automation (Manual Mode) SDRS mode was used for created VM.
After that I have tried to deploy VM based on Template using PowerCLI via New-VM cmdlet with "-DrsAutomationLevel AsSpecifiedByCluster" specified, but it didn't help.
I have a few questions:
1. Parameter DrsAutomationLevel of New-VM cmdlet define Automation Level for both DRS and Storage DRS ?
2. If DrsAutomationLevel parameter of New-VM cmdlet define only Automation Level for DRS, could we somehow change cmdlet Default behavior and set Automation Level for Storage DRS too ?
