Create a New VM-VM DRS Rule

You can create a VM-VM DRS affinity rule within a cluster.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system.
• Verify that virtual machines and hosts exist within a cluster with enabled DRS in the vCenter Server environment.

Procedure

1. Get the virtual machines for the VM-VM DRS rule.

   $affinityVMs = Get-VM "VM1", "VM2"

2. Get the cluster where you want to create the rule.

   $cluster = Get-Cluster "MyCluster"

3. Create the VM-VM DRS rule within the MyCluster cluster.

   New-DrsRule -Cluster $cluster -Name "AffinityRule1" -KeepTogether $true -VM $affinityVMs
