Today during my work with a customer about upgrading VxRail clusters, DRS was stopped by one of the customer.
No Chance Resources Pools and DRS rules have been deleted because of that. No worries it was a non production cluster.
But when the customer started to recreate the Resources Pools, the virtual machines were added manually because « Tags or Categories » are not a filter in the VMs tab.
So i found a workaround even if it’s the best solution in its problematic.
Custom Attribute can be added in the filter of the column so i created one named Task 🙂
Then i added a value in the custom attribute for each virtual machine. In my example, each nsx nodes.
In conclusion we can filter virtual machines with the help of custom attributes
The easiest step, select the virtual machines and grab them to the resource pool.
