Storage DRS makes sure that a VM's data is assigned to the optimal storage location initially, then it uses ongoing load balancing between datastores to avoid bottlenecks. Storage DRS provides smart VM placement and load balancing mechanisms, based on I/O and space utilization.
Similar to the vSphere DRS, aggregates the resources of several datastores into a single datastore cluster to simplify storage management at scale with vSphere SDRS. To create a datastore cluster, navigate to the storage view and click on the Create a new datastore cluster
icon. Follow the wizard to create the datastore cluster:
During VM provisioning, Storage DRS provides intelligent VM placement, based on the I/O load and the available storage capacity of the datastores. Storage DRS performs ongoing load balancing between data stores to ensure space and/or I/O bottlenecks are avoided as per predefined rules that reflect business needs and changing priorities.
