[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-9175) [VMware DRS] Adding new host to DRS cluster does not participate in load balancing

Suresh Kumar Anaparti created CLOUDSTACK-9175:
-------------------------------------------------

             Summary: [VMware DRS] Adding new host to DRS cluster does not participate in load balancing
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-9175
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9175
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Management Server, VMware
    Affects Versions: 4.5.2
            Reporter: Suresh Kumar Anaparti


Steps:
1. Have a DRS and HA cluster in fully automated mode, with two hosts H1 and H2 created in the vCenter.
2. Configure this cluster in CCP and create couple of VMs.
3. Start stressing the host by running some cpu hogging scripts in each of the VM.
4. Enable maintenance mode on one of the host - say H1 from CCP.
5. Also, quickly enable maintenance mode on host H1 from vCenter.
(This should migrate all the VMs to host H2) Make sure none of the VMs are present on host H1.
6. Add host H3 into DRS cluster from vCenter and from CCP as well.
7. At this point, the load is definitely imbalanced. This can be verified from vCenter ( Click on cluster -> Go to Summary tab -> under vSphere DRS section, it should show 'Load imbalanced'
Now, as per DRS rules, the load should be balanced across all the available hosts.
In this case, even after adding new host, the load is imbalanced. 

The reason for the load imbalance is VMs (created from Cloudstack) are not eligible to migrate to new host because networks or the cloud portgroups are not available on the new host H3 (except for private).
