individual host or across hosts using resource pools. vSphere also supports
clusters for failover or load balancing.

When DRS is running, it generates recommendations and associated information that result in a well balanced cluster, including: Managing HA Clusters AddHost_Task method, or move a host into a cluster by calling the MoveHostInto_Task method or similar.
