# Balances datastores by picking a VM from the most full datastore and svMotioning it to the least full datastore. It runs once, so you have to run it as many times as you feel necessary, either manually or in a loop with some sort of exit condition. The exit condition could be 10 times, most full % is with 10% of the least full %, until it’s Tuesday, or something else. There are some variables you want to set for your environment. For example, we limit the number of VMs on a datastore to 15 in production and 20 in QA/Dev. You may want something different.
#
<# TODO
-Change number of DSTs to is selection of $DSTMostFree to be variable. Also add in logic to select DSTs with lower VMCounts.
Total DSTs Select DSTs
---------- -----------
<5 1
5-20 3
>20 5
-For $DSTLeastFree add in logic to select DSTs with higher VMCounts.
