Can you force two VMs to run on different hosts?

I'm looking to see if we can flag two VMs to never run on the same host as each other. I thought I had seen this ability in documentation a while back but can't seem to find it now.

Thanks for any help!

Hello.

If you use DRS, then you can use a DRS rule to "Seperate Virtual Machines." Go to the Cluster settings, Edit and then look in the VMware DRS-> Rules section to set it up.

Good Luck!
