Nevermind, I realized that cluster computer resources are the clusters created to group hosts into vmotion sets so I just needed to walk through all configured clusters to look for the VMs for which I need to set DRS to manual to prevent vmotion.

Obviously the forums don't like chrome, had most of this typed then it locked up. Couldn't even do a copy/paste. New at using perl SDK and deal with VMWare. I'm trying to lock down a subset of VMs to specific hosts. I currently have a list of mo_refs for the VMs grouped by hosts and I have an example of how to create the ClusterConfigSpec/ClusterRuleSpec. The example I found uses a reference to a ClusterComputerResource. Do I need to create one for each host or just one for the group of hosts I'm dealing with? Can hosts be referenced by multiple ClusterComputerResources? How do I create a ClusterComputerResource? Some additional code/explanation to follow...
