Evacuate a Host with DRS functionality but not put it in Maintenance Mode

$

Hello Everyone,

 

Long Story short sometime in the past someone put a Host in maintenance mode and not all VM's migrated and because the host was going into Maintenance mode things got messed up and the host had to be rebooted and the VM crashed....

 

So since then it's policy to evacuate all VM's on a host before putting into maintenance mode... as you can imagine that's a LOT of extra work and time. 

 

Therefore I am looking for an easy way or even a PowerCLI script that will Evacuate all VM's on a host but uses DRS smarts and distributes them to hosts that can handle it!

 

Someone please let me know if that is possible!  I have 20 Hosts to reboot with a few hundred VM's and it's going to take a while!

 

Thank you,

 

Daniel Schmidt
