If a Storage DRS enabled Datastore does not complete entering Maintenance Mode, what could be done to resolve this?

  1. Enable Storage DRS affinity rules associated with the datastore cluster

  2. Set the Storage DRS advanced option IgnoreAffinityRulesForMaintenance = 0

  3. Disable Storage DRS affinity rules associated with this datastore cluster

  4. Set the Storage DRS advanced option IgnoreAffinityRulesForMaintenance = 1

The correct answer is: Enable Storage DRS affinity rules associated with the datastore cluster

To understand why enabling Storage DRS affinity rules associated with the datastore cluster is the correct resolution for a Storage DRS enabled datastore that does not complete entering Maintenance Mode, it’s important to recognize the purpose of these affinity rules. Storage DRS uses affinity rules to manage the placement of virtual machine disks on datastores within a cluster effectively. These rules can help maintain performance by keeping related virtual machines or their disks close together on the same datastore. If a datastore is having difficulty entering Maintenance Mode, it could be due to virtual machine disk placements that are constrained by these rules. Enabling the affinity rules would allow Storage DRS to better manage the distribution of virtual machine disks, potentially moving virtual machines to other datastores within the cluster, thereby freeing up the datastore in question for maintenance. In contrast, setting the advanced option for Storage DRS to either ignore or maintain affinity rules (depending on the configuration) might not address the underlying issues related to the virtual machine placements that are preventing the datastore from entering Maintenance Mode. Similarly, disabling affinity rules may not be optimal in situations where preserving performance through organized disk placements is necessary. Thus, enabling the affinity rules enhances the Storage DRS’s ability to optimize the environment, which is pivotal for successfully completing
