Hi,
I have a question how the below note should be interpreted, we are running a stretched vpshere 5.1 cluster with affinity rules keeping the VMs on hosts where their data resides.
We would like to have 2 failover hosts in the cluster, preferably one per site if a host on that site is lost but I´m aware that this might not be possible.
But does the below note mean that VM-VM affinity rules can´t be used at all in the cluster in normal operations if I enable (multiple) failover hosts?
Or does it only apply in a HA-failover scenario?
Note
If you use the Specify Failover Hosts admission control policy and designate multiple failover hosts, DRS does not load balance failover hosts and VM-VM affinity rules are not supported.
