DRS Host affinity rules

[Spectrum1981]

Hello together,

in our script we can disable or activate drs rules (Keep vm together or seperate them).

$drs_regeln = Get-DrsRule –Cluster $cluster_object

if ($drs_regeln -eq $null)

{

Write-Host "# No DRS"

}

else

{

foreach($drsrules in $drs_regeln)

{

    if ($drsrules.enabled -eq $true)

    {

        Set-DrsRule -Rule $drsrules -Enabled $false

    }

}

Write-Host "# DRS off"

}

But how can i get host affinity rules and deactive them? I found nothing in the WWW. Your my last hope

Thanks. Rainer

I'd recommend using Onyx if the built in powercli cmdlets don't get you the information you need.

That'll help you construct something in a script.

To retrieve DRS host affinity rules, you can do

Get-DrsRule -Cluster its -Type VMHostAffinity

To change such a host affinity DRS rule you have to revert to the API.

See for example 5.  Re: How to set vm-to-host affinity rule using PowerCLI 5.1
