Get-DrsRule

Name	Type	Description	Required?	Pipeline Input	Default Value
Name	String[]	Specifies the name of the DRS rule you want to retrieve.	false	False
Cluster	Cluster[]	Specifies the clusters for which you want to retrieve the DRS rules.	true	True (ByValue)
VM	VirtualMachine[]	Specifies virtual machines to filter the DRS rules that reference them. Passing values to this parameter through a pipeline is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.	false	True (ByValue)
Server	VIServer[]	Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer.	false	False
Type	ResourceSchedulingRuleType[]	Specifies the type of DRS rules you want to retrieve. This parameter accepts VMAntiAffinity, VMAffinity, and VMHostAffinity values. You cannot set this parameter, when the VMHost parameter is specified.	false	False
VMHost	VMHost[]	Specifies VM hosts to filter the DRS rules that reference them. When this parameter is specified, the cmdlet returns only VMHostAffinity rules. You cannot set this parameter, when the Type parameter is specified.	false	True (ByValue)

-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------

$myCluster = Get-Cluster -Name "MyCluster1"
Get-DrsRule -Cluster $myCluster -Name "*Rule1*"

Retrieves the DRS rules for the cluster stored in the $myCluster variable, whose names contain "Rule1".

-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------

Get-Cluster -Name 'MyCluster1' | Get-DrsRule

Retrieves the virtual machine affinity and anti-affinity rules for the specified cluster by pipeline.

-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------

$myVm1 = Get-VM -Name 'MyVm1'
$myCluster1 = Get-Cluster 'MyCluster1'
Get-DrsRule -Cluster $myCluster1 -VM $myVm1

Retrieves the virtual machine affinity and anti-affinity rules for the specified virtual machine in the specified cluster.

-------------------------- Example 4 --------------------------

Get-Cluster 'MyCluster1' | Get-DrsRule -Type VMHostAffinity

Retrieves virtual machine to host affinity rules for the specified cluster by pipeline.

-------------------------- Example 5 --------------------------

$myVMHost1 = Get-VMHost -Name 'MyVMHost1'
$myCluster1 = Get-Cluster -Name 'MyCluster1'
Get-DrsRule -Cluster $myCluster1 -VMHost $myVMHost1

Retrieves virtual machine to host affinity rules for the specified host and cluster.
