Diffrent policies for Tiers

[vSohill]

Hi,

I have dev and test VMs under the same cluster. I would like to mapp a policy to Test VMs and another Poilcy to Dev VMs. Test VMs under TestVMs Group and Dev VMs under Dev group. Any help how to ?

Create the two policies then create two custom groups and add the relevant  vms to each and when creating the custom group you can assign the correct policy to the group.

You may have to drop your default policy down in the priority list if the vms are also in it so that the new policies take priority on the groups

Thank you sxnxrsxnxr

How can I drop your default policy down in the priority list?

Thank you again

Go to the administration page and then policies

In the active policy tab it will show all active polices and there priority, simply drag and drop the policies into the order you want 1 being the highest.

In my case I have test and dev vms under the same cluster. How can I mapp different policy to two diff groups ?

You have to assign tags to your VMs (e.g.: dev-used & test-used) on vCenter side and then create Custom Groups (e.g. Dev-VM-Custom-Group & Test-VM-Custom-Group) based on the tags. Once Custom Groups are created, you can assign respective policies to those custom groups.

Hope this helps!
