Configuring the Migration Policy

By default, VMs automatically load balance when the node they are running on returns to service after recovering from a node failure or exiting maintenance mode. You can disable this automatic load balancing by setting the migration policy.

To set the migration policy

1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
2. On the Preferences page, click Migration Policy.
3. Select Disable automatic load balancing after bringing a node back into service to prevent VMs from automatically load balancing.
4. Click Save.

After the migration policy is set and a node returns to service, a load-balancing scale () appears in the masthead with the message VMs are not load balanced and a link to Load Balancing. Click the link to rebalance the load.
