Description

VMware DRS

A flag that indicates whether the Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) service is enabled or disabled.

VMware HA

A flag that indicates whether VMware High Availability (HA) is enabled or disabled

Total CPU Resources

The aggregated CPU resources of all hosts in the cluster, in megahertz

Total Memory

The aggregated memory resources of all hosts in the cluster, in megabytes

Number of Virtual Machines

The number of virtual machines in the cluster

Total Migrations

The number of migration decisions that have recently been performed, when Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is enabled

Number of Hosts

The number of host computers in the cluster

Automation Level

The default VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) behavior for virtual machines.
Possible values are

Migration Recommendations

The number of recommended migrations from the Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) module, when DRS is enabled
Even when DRS is enabled, the current set of recommendations may be empty, because no migrations may be recommended at the time.
If DRS is not enabled, the value is N/A.

The minimum rating that a vMotion must have before it should be executed automatically, when the Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is set to fullyAutomated.
Ratings vary between 1 and 5.
This setting is relevant only if DRS is set to fullyAutomated.

Current Failover Capacity

The number of physical host failures that can be tolerated without impacting the ability to satisfy the minimum system resources required for all running virtual machines

Configured Failover Capacity

The number of physical host failures that can be tolerated without impacting the ability to satisfy the minimum system resources required for all running virtual machines, as configured by the user.
Values range from 1 to 4.

Number of Cores

Number of physical CPU cores

Current EVC Mode
