  • 1.  VM DRS Score per VM via powercli?

    Posted Jan 29, 2024 03:17 PM

    The VM DRS Score can be viewed per cluster per VM in vCenter.   This per VM score shows which VMs are the most unhappy per cluster.   I would like to export this info via Powercli on regular schedule so that I can correlate the DRS migrations to their VM DRS Score relative to the time of migration.

    William Lam has a script that reports on VM DRS Score ranges in buckets,  but not per VM:

    Is this currently possible via PowerCLI or any VMware API?

    Thanks

    Are you sure about the "... per VM ..."?
    Afaik, the score for VMs is in buckets, not per individual VM.

    In vCenter:   Cluster->Monitor->VM DRS Score

    Lists all VMs in cluster by current DRS Score.

    I see.
    No, I'm afraid I don't know of any API that could provide that info.
    It wouldn't be the first private API used in the Web Client.
