Hi,
my customer bought the Standard Acceleration Kit. During the testing and migration period we used the 60 day trial license and activated DRS. During that time we installed the included Operations Manager Foundation.
Now I want to license the systems. Before that I have to disable DRS and to do that I am forced to remove the Operations Manager vApp.
Will I be able to add the vApp again later without DRS? If not, how am I supposed to run Operations Manager in a "Standard" environment?
Thanks for you help.

No you can not run vCenter Operation Manager in a cluster without DRS because it is a vApp. You're choices are DRS enabled cluster or run on a host not in the cluster, but can still be managed by vCenter.

Hi,
I feared that this would be the answer, thanks anyway
Christian, vC Ops will continue to work without the vApp construct - so you could move the two VMs from the vApp, remove the vApp and then disable DRS.
See this KB for info on managing vC Ops with a "broken" vApp....
Thanks jddias I was not aware of that possibility, only the constraints from trying to run on our HA only enabled cluster
Great idea thanks.
