VMware - VM host preference?

[mrbios]

No idea if this is possible, but as an example say you've got two hosts, and you want your VM to always run on one specific host if that host is running, is there a way of setting a VM to have a preference over what virtual machine it resides on?

 

So if host 1 goes down and it moves to host 2, it'll automatically move back to host 1 if/when it comes back up? That possible?

 

Thanks

Sounds like you're after a "VM to Host" DRS Rule.

Ahhh DRS, it's disabled for that cluster at present so i couldn't see all those settings...thanks, that's got me going in the right direction
