There are a few requirements when creating vSphere HA Clusters: Instead, the VMs on the affected host can be evacuated to other hosts in the cluster, and the host with the failure can be placed in either Quarantine Mode or Maintenance Mode. When this happens, the VMs running on the host are not negatively affected. a redundant power supply or SD card fails). A Proactive HA failure can occur when a hardware component in a host has failed, resulting in a loss of redundancy or a noncatastrophic failure (i.e. New in vSphere 6.5, a feature called Proactive HA takes this a step further. Partition: This failure happens when a host loses network connectivity with the master host in the cluster. Isolation: This failure happens when a host is still running, but can no longer observe traffic from vSphere HA agents on the management network. The host roles are automatically determined through an election process, and the master host is responsible for detecting and appropriately resolving failures in the cluster.Īs of this writing, there are three different types of host failures that can occur in a vSphere HA cluster.įailure: This failure happens when the master cannot communicate directly with the agent on a subordinate host. Every cluster has one master host, and all other hosts in the cluster act as subordinate hosts. When you add a new host to a vSphere HA cluster, an agent is uploaded to the host and configured to communicate with other agents in the cluster. Here’s a handy video VMware made explaining how vSphere High Availability Clusters work: vSphere FT allows for no service interruption, while vSphere HA allows for a minimal service interruption. Note the distinction between vSphere HA (High Availability) and vSphere FT (Fault Tolerance). Hosts in the cluster are actively monitored through a network and datastore heartbeating and if a failure occurs, the virtual machines on failed hosts are automatically restarted on alternate hosts. vSphere HA provides high availability for virtual machines by pooling the virtual machines and the hosts they reside on into a cluster of ESXi hosts. Before we get into building vSphere HA clusters, let’s go over how vSphere HA works. VSphere HA clusters allow ESXi hosts to work together as a group and provide performance assurance and higher levels of availability for hosted virtual machines.

VM AntiAffinityRules can be configured with das.respectVmVmAntiAffinityRules = True according to HA und DRS - VMware-Forum (in german).VSphere Deployment is a 6 part series that will walk you through deploying and configuring the components of vSphere 6.5. (My GUI is not in english so it may be different) Now I can see the following in HTML5 GUI at Cluster/Configuration/VM Host Rules: "VM-to-Host Affinity rules: HA should respect rules during Failover" (again translated to english). I added this as advanced parameter at -> configure -> vsphere availability -> advanced options. The post Changes in HA in vSphere 6.0 discribes option das.respectVmHostSoftAffinityRules=true. ha rule settings only visible in html5 client, but without edit-button ha rule settings not visible in web client I had the same problem like you on vcenter 6.5: This option overrides the anti-affinity rule for vcenter HA-VMs (not vsphere HA) which enforces vcenter main, backup and witness server to be on different hosts. Nothing appeared, because option seem not related to your problem.
