DRS Does Not Move Any Virtual Machines from a Host

DRS does not move any virtual machines from a host.

Problem

Virtual machines are not moved from this host.

Cause

This may be because of problems with vMotion, DRS, or host compatibility. The following are the possible reasons:

• vMotion is not configured or activated on this host.
• DRS is deactivated for the virtual machines on this host.
• Virtual machines on this host are not compatible with any other hosts.
• No other hosts have sufficient resources for any virtual machines on this host.
• Moving any virtual machines from this host would violate a VM/VM DRS rule or VM/Host DRS rule.
• DRS is deactivated for one or more virtual machines on the host.
• A device is mounted to the virtual machine.

Solution

Address the issues that are preventing DRS from moving virtual machines from the host.
