Set Affinity rule on a particular VM to stop DRS

[reubenur-rahman]

Hi guys,

I'm writing a python code to Set Affinity rule on a particular VM to stop DRS. I am taking help from Steve Jin's DrsAffRule.java .

I am doing something like :

affinityspec = vim.cluster.AffinityRuleSpec()
affinityspec.name = "My Affinity Group"
affinityspec.enabled = True
affinityspec.vm(my_vm)

The equivalent Java Code I found :

    ClusterAffinityRuleSpec cars = new ClusterAffinityRuleSpec();
    cars.setName("App and DB Appliance Bundle");
    cars.setEnabled(Boolean.TRUE);
    ManagedObjectReference vm1 = createMOR("VirtualMachine", vm1_oid);
    ManagedObjectReference vm2 = createMOR("VirtualMachine", vm2_oid);
    cars.setVm(new ManagedObjectReference[] {vm1, vm2});

Now the problem is affinityspec.vm() takes the MOR of VM . Any idea how do I write a createMOR() function ???

Try using dir(affinityspec) to see what you can do with the object. The
mapping of schema to methods/properties is sometimes a little weird
compared to Java.
