Learning PowerCLI - Second Edition

Using DRS recommendations

To retrieve the available DRS recommendations from the provided clusters, you can use the Get-DrsRecommendation cmdlet. This is useful if you configure the DrsAutomationLevel on your cluster as Manual or PartiallyAutomated. The syntax of the Get-DrsRecommendation cmdlet is as follows:

Get-DrsRecommendation [[-Cluster] <Cluster[]>] [-Refresh]
    [-Priority <Int32[]>] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

The Get-DrsRecommendation cmdlet has no required parameters.

In the following example, you will retrieve all the DRS recommendations for all the clusters:

PowerCLI C:\ > Get-DrsRecommendation
