vMotion Priority for individual VM

$

Hello,

I have a question around individual VM vMotion settings.  Here is the current setup and desired result.

 

Setup:

  • ESXi 5.1 ENT+ cluster & 5.1 vCenter
  • Dedicated 10Gb vMotion vLAN
  • Storage I/O configured
    • High priority VMs have higher shares

 

Situation:

  • During a host entering maintenance
    • All the VMs try to vMotion onto different host at the same time (automatically determines how many simultaneously)
      • High priority VM are now trying to fight on the same level as normal or low priority VMs for vMotion bandwidth/resources

Desired Result:

  • Set a flag on high priority VMs that they are always moved with preference during a vMotion (I know this can be done if you move individual VM [standard or High priority] options during vMotion)
    • This way (for example) if there is a transactional DB, it is vMotioned first with protective shares before a file server

 

Any suggestions?  I have not found anything yet but hopefully there is an advanced parameter I can set on a VM.

Thanks

B
