Explanation

This additional option specifies DRS to consider distributing VMs evenly across hosts in the cluster for availability purposes. While the primary goal of DRS is to ensure that all VMs are getting the resources they neeand that the load is balanced in the cluster, with this option, DRS will additionally try to ensure that the VM spread (number of VMs per host) is even across the cluster. However, DRS will always prioritize load balancingover the VM spread, so even distribution of VMs is done on a best effort basis.Figure 21 - Edit additional option for VM DistributionYou can enable this option by selecting the corresponding check box under Additional Options in the vSphere Web Client (Figure 21).
