Question

When checking the distribution of virtual machines within a Fully Automated DRS cluster, an administrator notices an uneven spread across the hosts. Which advanced option within DRS would attempt to evenly balance VMs across the hosts?

Options

  • ADisable DPM.
  • BSet DRS Migration Threshold to Aggressive.
  • CEnable VM Distribution.
  • DMigrate virtual machines to a Distributed Switch.

Why each option

The DRS advanced option 'VM Distribution' directs a Fully Automated DRS cluster to factor VM count per host into placement decisions, directly addressing an uneven spread of virtual machines.

ADisable DPM.

Disabling DPM prevents hosts from being powered down during low-utilization periods but has no effect on how running VMs are distributed across already-powered-on hosts.

BSet DRS Migration Threshold to Aggressive.

The DRS Migration Threshold controls how aggressively DRS acts on resource imbalance, not on VM count imbalance, so setting it to Aggressive will not produce an even VM count distribution.

CEnable VM Distribution.Correct

Enabling VM Distribution adds a secondary DRS objective to equalize the number of powered-on VMs across hosts in addition to the default resource-utilization balancing. Without this option, DRS only moves VMs based on CPU and memory imbalance, which can leave some hosts with significantly more VMs than others even when utilization appears balanced.

DMigrate virtual machines to a Distributed Switch.

Migrating VMs to a Distributed Switch is a networking configuration action and is entirely unrelated to DRS placement or VM count balancing decisions.
