New groups of DRS and rules, would avoid vMotion Storm

DRS groups and rules below look good to present our cluster that has never had one?

Our current cluster of business (20 hosts running ESXi 5.5U2) does not have rules of DRS in place.  I'd like to introduce five new nodes in this cluster, but I don't want (fully automated) DRS to move our critical production VMs to these five nodes until they are sufficiently burned in.  We want only our critical VMs not filing migrate to these new nodes for the moment.

DRS Group Manager

  1. Create two 'DRS Host groups':
    1. the VM guests
    2. new guest VM
  2. Create two 'DRS VM groups':
    1. production critical VMs
    2. VMs critics off-production

Here are the screenshots of the DRS rules that I've not enabled yet.  DRS will attempt to overhaul all of the critical production VMs (1000 VMs) on these existing hosts or will he see that they already exist on these hosts and left alone?  It will be graciously vMotion 100 critical VMs off-production for the new guests I bring in this cluster?  I would like to avoid creating chaos by making the production of 1000 reviews VMs dragging around the existing VM guests.

With these two rules configured as 'must' of the rules, and all virtual machines running on the 'existing VM hosts', I expect that DRS will start the migration of the 'non-production critical VMs' as soon as rules are enabled. What do I usually when DRS rules configuration is to temporarily put the DRS on "Manual", set / add the rules and then go to the DRS tab see small jets DRS recommend after pressing the button "execute DRS. If the recommendations of the DRS me correspond to the expectations, I then the DRS automatic value again and let her work with DRS.
