Hi,
We have vCloud environment based on vSphere 5 and vCloud director version 1.5.1, there are 2 clusters with 8 hosts each which are managed by vCloud, the problem is when a new VM is provisioned it gets deployed under the first cluster (marked as primary in vCloud GUI), no VMs are being deployed on second cluster, load is about 70-90% on first cluster which is about 4% only.
Questions:
Will vCloud director balance VM deployment load across clusters? If yes, what are the rules?
In vCloud GUI there is no way I can select which cluster is primarily, how this work?
Info:
Both clusters have DRS fully automated enabled
vCenter 5 build 623373
vCloud director 1.5.1
Thanks
Ahmed
- You have both root resource pools (DRS Clusters) mapped to the PVDC?
- Do both root resource pools belong to the same vCenter?
- Which Allocation Pool are you using? (Pay-as-u-go/Alloc/Res.)
Both root resource pools are mapped to PVDC.
Yes, both resource pools belongs to same vCenter.
Allocation policy is Pay-as-you-go
More info on that, not all organization vDCs sees both resource pools, only few, if I create a new Org vDC it will see only one resource pool. There is no way I can choose which resource pool is primary.
Thanks for your reply
