You can force-trigger storage DRS recommendations (and possible subsequent storage vMotions) through PowerCLI.
Run the snippet below, replacing the value of $dscName to match the name of the datastore cluster you wish to trigger the DRS recommendation on:
$dscName = 'DatastoreCluster1' $dsc = Get-View -ViewType StoragePod -Filter @{'Name'=$dscName} $si = Get-View ServiceInstance $storMgr = Get-View -Id $si.Content.StorageResourceManager $storMgr.RefreshStorageDrsRecommendation($dsc.MoRef) $dsc.UpdateViewData() if($dsc.PodStorageDrsEntry.Recommendation){ $dsc.PodStorageDrsEntry.Recommendation | %{ $storMgr.ApplyStorageDrsRecommendationToPod_Task($dsc.MoRef,$_.Key) } }
