What I am trying to accomplish is an overview of vmotions and WHY the vmotion happened. If you have any great ideas :-) Hi again,

I have no ESX host home to put into maintenance mode. So I can't test it. I do however see that there are three entries: vim.event.EnteredMaintenanceModeEvent vim.event.EnteringMaintenanceModeEvent vim.event.ExitMaintenanceModeEvent These would be key events to figure this out.

Presumably over a period of 285 days they patched at least once, and DRS does really help out here in saving us having to VMotion the ~20 to 50 VMs manually, but these VMotions are arguable human initiated and not DRS initiated.
