Choosing a DRS automation level

By default, DRS works at the Fully automatedautomation level. You can, however, choose to set it to Manual or Partially automated. Although the names of the automation levels are self-explanatory, there are a few additional differences:

• Manual: This displays the initial placement and the migration recommendations to the administrator; it requires the administrator's approval to be applied
• Partially automated: This carries out VM initial placements automatically, but migration recommendations are displayed to the administrator and are not performed until the administrator applies them
• Fully automated: This automatically carries out VM initial placements and migrations

Getting ready

This function is available only on the DRS-enabled cluster; therefore, ensure the feature is enabled.
