Greetings and Salutations,
I have been tasked to contemplate a different method of working with and referencing infinity and anti-infinity rules. Let me explain the use case and see if that helps explain what I am looking to do. In the environment I work with I have multiple vCenter servers in multiple datacenters. In these datacenters are thousands of virtual machines in multiple clusters. There may be multiple virtual machines are would be originally deployed in separate clusters and therefor the infinity rules would not be defined but in the case that a virtual machine was moved to another cluster, as an example, where a rule would need to be defined and applied because of that move that is the issue that I am looking to resolve so an automated check and process can be applied during the move or migration.
One method that I am looking at for this is to have entries added to the CMBD that would indicate if rules should be in place and who the partners are and as part of the migration process to query the CMDB and find out if there is a rule and who the partners would be and then query the destination cluster for any of those virtual machines and if found create or add to a rule.
Has anyone looked at doing anything like this and if so how did you go about addressing this?
Thanks
Steve
