1. Re: drs+ha
KocPawel Nov 14, 2019 2:45 AM (in response to nimicyy)It depends on you which Datastores will you present/add to which ESXi.
DRS, HA policies you can define on cluster level, so it is configurable for group of hosts.

nimicyy Nov 14, 2019 4:00 AM (in response to KocPawel)lert`s say i configured drs+ha.then can i configure storage drs?storage drs is at datastore level?

3. Re: drs+ha
ryanrpatel Nov 14, 2019 5:19 AM (in response to nimicyy)sDRS is at the Datastore level. You can keep VMs on separated. You can keep VMDKs of the same VM together. You can do I/O latency thresholds, which you can also setup on a SDRS schedule. This is metric-based that isn't running ALL of the time.

4. Re: drs+ha
KocPawel Nov 14, 2019 5:45 AM (in response to nimicyy)Yes,
But remember that Storage DRS has same requirements.

5. Re: drs+ha
Amin Masoudifard Nov 14, 2019 11:24 AM (in response to nimicyy)DRS is responsible for optimizing and balancing the usage of CPU / RAM resources in the cluster, But Storage DRS has this duty for datastores (VMFS / NFS) by consideration capacity and I/O metrics. DRS have affinity/anti-affinity rules for VM/Host but Storage DRS have rules for VM/VMDK files. They can work co-exist together, so there is no conflict about DRS & SDRS co-operation into the cluster. Actually, based on SDRS FAQ there is following important requirements of SDRS:
- VMware vSphere enterprise plus license. Also, it's recommended VMware vSphere compute/hosts cluster.
- Shared datastore volumes accessible by at least one ESXi host inside the cluster. VMware recommends to have full cluster connectivity, however, it is not enforced
- Datastore inside the Storage DRS cluster must be visible in only one data center.
