• Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
• Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to vCenter Server
• Validates that that the vSphere DRS Cluster Group does not already exist in the vCenter Server inventory
• Creates the vSphere DRS Cluster Group in the vCenter Server inventory.
