When the total cluster load is high, DRS does not power on the host.
The following are possible reasons:
■
|
VM/VM DRS rules or VM/Host DRS rules prevent the virtual machine from being moved to this host.
|
■
|
Virtual machines are pinned to their current hosts, hence DRS cannot move these virtual machines to hosts in standby mode to balance the load.
|
■
|
DRS or DPM is in manual mode and the recommendations were not applied.
|
■
|
No virtual machines on highly utilized hosts will be moved to that host.
|
■
|
DPM is disabled on the host because of a user setting or host previously failing to successfully exit standby.
