Disable DRS on tenant clusters?

[almostIT]

We host a Horizon Cloud instance, on premise.

Our management cluster, where the service provider and tenant appliances live, has DRS disabled, per this: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-DaaS/services/horizondaas.install910/GUID-41DE69F5-7C3F-4804-9C1E-A6AD1DF5C20B.html

Should DRS also be disabled where the tenant virtual machines live? It doesn't mention that, or should DRS be disabled on every vCenter cluster involved with Horizon Cloud?

It is not necessary to disable DRS on tenant clusters. That is applicable to the management clusters only.

DRS for RDSH or VDI is not a problem but don't use it too much. We have Horizon cloud on-prem as well.

My recommendation is to not disable it, but set it to 1 or 2, so you can vMotion if needed, and horizon will in extreme situations like host overload.

I 2nd this.

The STUN time on non-vGPU VMs is barely noticeable, however you don't want to be vMotion'ing all the time, it's all about finding that perfect balance. 🙂

@StephenWagner7 ha! I use your Office 365 in virtual machines tutorial all the time. 

@Sander van Gelderen Yeah, in Horizon (not Horizon Cloud) we keep it low.
