I am logged into vCenter and I have a few resource pools with a virtual machine in one
BACKUP THE RESOURCE POOL
login to vCenter > click your cluster > under services click vSphere DRS > click edit
Untick vSphere DRS
Click save snapshot
Then click cancel
Now I will delete the resource pools
RESTORE RESOURCE POOL
Login to vCenter > click your cluster > under services click vSphere DRS > click restore resource pool tree
Choose the file you saved earlier and click ok
This error has popped up because the account you logged in as doesn’t have rights to “Assign virtual machine to resource pool” > click cancel
Go to menu > click administration > under access control click roles > under vsphere.local you will notice ‘resource pool administrator’ that has the privileges to perform the task
Click on your vCenter > click permissions > click add
Select the domain and account you want to have these privileges > assign it the resource pool administrator role > click propagate to children > click ok
Login back into vCenter using that account
Click your cluster > click configure > under services click vSphere DRS > click restore resource pool tree
Browse to your backup and click ok
Resource pool you deleted earlier should be back
