Determining Why DRS Is Migrating VM's

$

We have a strange situation that started several weeks ago.  Every friday morning DRS is migrating several VMs from our primary site to a secondary site and then a few minutes later they migrate back to the primary site.  It happens at exactly 35 minutes after the hour, doing a few every hour starting at 6:35 AM and continuing throughout the day till 3:35 or 4:35. It can be anywhere between 1 and 5 - 6 machines in any given hour.  Sometimes it will skip an hour or two.

 

I've looked at the log files in the drdump folder but don't know much about interpeting them.  I see proposed actions with a reason 'Update host settings to reflect DRM shares"  which I believe is what is causing the migration to the secondary sites.  In others I see "Fix soft vm/host affinity rule violation' which I think is the migration back to the primary site.

 

I understand the migration back to the primary site.  That is what we want.  But I would like to understand what is causing the migration to the secondary site in the first place.

 

Can someone tell me how I can go about determining what is happening?

 

Thanks.
