To protect the vRealize Log Insight virtual machines from a host-level failure, configure vSphere DRS to run the virtual machines on different hosts in the first cluster in the management domain.

Use an anti-affinity rule for the vRealize Log Insight virtual machines. This rule configuration accommodates the case when you place a host from the management cluster in maintenance mode.
