vim.cluster.VmGroup
===================
  The `ClusterVmGroup`_ data object identifies virtual machines for VM-Host rules. VM-Host rules determine placement of virtual machines on hosts in a cluster. The logic specified in a `ClusterVmHostRuleInfo`_ object determines where virtual machines can be powered-on.If a virtual machine is removed from the cluster, it loses its DRS group affiliation. The Server does not restore any group affiliations if the virtual machine is returned to the cluster.
