Configuring Storage DRS Automation
SDRS offers two predei ned automation levels, as you can see in Figure 12.33: No Automation
(Manual Mode) and Fully Automated.
Figure 12.33
Storage DRS off ers
both Manual and
Fully Automated
modes of operation.
When the SDRS automation level is set to No Automation (Manual Mode), SDRS will gener-
ate recommendations for initial placement and for storage migrations based on the coni gured
space and I/O thresholds. Initial placement recommendations occur when you create a new VM
(and thus a new virtual disk), add a virtual disk to a VM, or clone a VM or template. The recom-
mendations appear in a pop-up window, like the one shown in Figure 12.34.
