Hello
I'm new to Nutanix and setting up a small 3 node cluster with ESXi. Just wanted to know whether there is any automatic migration from Nutanix side in case of resource contention on 1 node.
One such example: if there are too many VM hosted on a single node and causing storage contention, is there any option on Nutanix to automatically migrate some VM to other nodes (similar to what VMware DRS does - but this time, for storage)
Thanks

vMotion in case of resource contention

Hi @user_vm
There is no such feature to balance the VMs between ESXi hosts based on storage contention. The vSphere DRS will migrate some VMs based on CPU/memory and depending of your ESXi version, the network contention also.
On storage layer, Nutanix will try keep the tiers usage balanced.

Hi @user_vm
Please check the nutanixbible.com and search for "Disk balancing" and you will see a brief explanation about disk balancing on DSF.
