Dear Community members,
I have to install an HBA in my ESXi host in the cluster. I have a 3 node cluster. As a part of sanity check ,I would like to determine if other nodes in the cluster has enough memory and resources to accommodate the VM guests before I take the ESXi in maintenance mode and power it down. How can I determine this?
I want to avoid any situation during the maintenance window where the other ESXi nodes raise a flag during the vmotion that they are tight and cannot accommodate any VMs..
Would appreciate any suggestions in this matter
Many thanks,
Rahul
Hi Friend,
(Same query on storage community)
I believe, there is no tool to determine this automatically. You will have to manually see (in summary page ESXi host) that how much cpu/memory is being used by other hosts, note down + how much mem/cpu is being used by the host which you want to put into MM. This will give you fair idea on whether all you VMs can be accommodated on all other hosts.
In addition to this. you will have to check HA/DRS (specially DRS threshold + DRS rules)/DPM/SDRS configuration so that these features will not be affected.
