ClusterDependencyRuleInfo

The ClusterDependencyRuleInfo data object identifies VM-to-VM dependencies.

A VM-VM Dependency rule identifies the following groups.

A virtual machine group - vmGroup
A "depends on" virtual machine group - dependsOnVmGroup.

The VMs in vmGroup depends on the list of VMs specified in dependsOnVmGroup.

For example, this rule is used during vSphere HA VM recovery orchestration. vSphere HA will not restart the VMs in vmGroup until all the VMs in dependsOnVmGroup are deemded "ready" (See ClusterVmReadiness).

All the virtual machines referenced by this rule must be in the same cluster.
