Explanation
VMware DPM is a function provided by DRS to reduce energy consumption during off peak times. When enabled, DPM monitors the environment for activity on the cluster and will consolidate VMs to as few ESXi hosts as are required to host the workloads and still satisfy availability constraints. After the workloads have been consolidated, DPM shut downs hosts into standby mode. DPM automates and optimizes energy management in the datacenter, so that an administrator can cut the power costs during off peak times of resource utilization. When utilization increases, DPM automatically restarts the ESXi hosts that have been put into standby, thereby fulfilling the demand for resources.
