About this task
Use the following steps to configure DRS:
Steps
1. Navigate to Configure > vSphere DRS and then click Edit.
2. Select the vSphere DRS check box to enable.
3. From the DRS Automation drop-down menu, leave the default migration threshold at 3 and click OK.
This is the default configuration in a fully automated configuration as it is recommended for the Nutanix deployments. This
configuration automatically manages data locality so that whenever VMs migrate to another host, writes are always written
on one of the replicas locally to maximize the subsequent read performance.
