DRS testing

Cold VM startup functions in DRS are working properly, meaning that when I properly configure a VM on shared switch and shared storage, DRS decides which host to start the VM on and this will change based on the available resources (CPU, memory). So I can make a vMotion test VM start on one host and then stop it, start up 3 more VM's on that box, and the next time I start the vMotion test VM, it starts on the other host.

Log entry below (the test vm is called "win2kmove" and the vSphere cluster I created is called "The Towers"):
