Issue/Introduction

VMware Cloud Foundation - Design Decision - Apply vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) anti-affinity rules to the vRealize Log Insight cluster nodes.

Resolution

Design Justification: 
Using vSphere DRS prevents the vRealize Log Insight cluster nodes from running on the same ESXi host and risking the high availability of the cluster.

Design Implication: 
"You must perform additional configuration to set up an anti- affinity rule.

You can put in maintenance mode only a single ESXi host at a time in a management cluster of four ESXi."

This design decision is supported on VCF version 4.1 and higher.
