Fully Automated – when a VM is powered on, DRS will place it on the best-suited host, without prompting the user.If the DRS cluster becomes unbalanced, DRS will display recommendations for VM migration. Partially Automated – when a VM is powered on, DRS will place it on the best-suited host, without prompting the user.Manual – when a virtual machine is powered on, DRS will display a list of recommended hosts on which you can place the VM.DRS makes these decisions on VM placement when a VM is powered on and when VMs must be rebalanced across hosts in the DRS clusters.


You can determine whether DRS will just display migration recommendations or automatically perform the migration when the cluster becomes unbalanced by defining the automation level.
