PowerCLI script to disable vm affinity rules

[ramseyd]

I have a script to list VM affinity rules for all clusters in every datastore:

ForEach ($dc
in Get-Datacenter){$dc | Get-Cluster | Get-DrsRule –type VMHostAffinity |
sort cluster
| select Name, Cluster, Enabled,
@{N=’DataCenter’;E={$dc}

}}

Is there a way to disable VM affinity rules for clusters by name? For example:

For all clusters in all datacenters in vCenter01

If -cluster.name = Cluster01,cluster02

then do nothing

else

affinityrules = remove

Above is just a rough draft of what im trying to accomplish and working on now. Any ideas?

The DRSRule module alllows you to do that with the Get-DrsVMToVMHostRule and the Remove-DrsVMToVMHostRule

As from the PowerCLI 6.5.2 release there are now built in cmdlets for that functionality.

See New Release: PowerCLI 6.5.1

Get-Drsrule -Cluster $ClusterName | Set-DrsRule -Enabled $false
