HONORING RESOURCE SCHEDULER CONSTRAINTS DURING MAINTENANCES

摘要

The present disclosure describes a technique for honoring virtual machine placement constraints established on a first host implemented on a virtualized computing environment by receiving a request to migrate one or more virtual machines from the first host to a second host and without violating the virtual machine placement constraints, identifying an architecture of the first host, provisioning a second host with an architecture compatible with that of the first host, adding the second host to the cluster of hosts, and migrating the one or more virtual machines from the first host to the second host.
