I have created a vApp with 16 VMs in a vSphere 5.5 enabled cluster. In each vApp, a two VMs (total of 8 pairs) that need to reside on the same host as they are connection to an Internal Only virtual portgroup on a VDS switch. I have created the DRS rules for each pair via Powercli. The VMs are added correctly, however only one rule is enabled. The other 7 rules show disabled in the GUI and with the Get-DRS rule PowerCLI command. I have attempted to enable the rules (check the box) in the GUI and through the PowerCLI without success. No errors show up in the logs or when I run the PowerCLI Set-DRS rule. Recent Tasks show the Reconfigure cluster task completed, but the rules are not enabled.
How do I get the DRS rules enabled.
Thanks
John
How many ESXi Hosts are in the cluster ?
Is it also configured for HA ?
Are there any Host or Cluster errors/issues ?
Can you provide a screenshot of cluster config ?
Also are there any Anti-Affinity rules ?
