Support for virtual machine to host affinity has been added. This enables users to create affinity groups for virtual machines to be associated with designated hosts. Virtual machine host affinity can be disabled or enabled on request. Virtual machine to host affinity is useful in the following scenarios: - Hosts with specific hardware are required by certain virtual machines. - Virtual machines that form a logical management unit can be run on a certain set of hosts for SLA or management. For example a separate rack for each customer. - Virtual machines with licensed software must run on specific physical machines to avoid scheduling virtual machines to hosts that need to be decommissioned or upgraded. Document the updated "VM Affinity Rule" drop-down in the New Affinity Group window. This was previously a checkbox. Document the VmToHostsAffinityGroups filter an weight modules in the New Scheduling Policy window.
Assigning to Byron for review.
