Thanks for your information. I am not sure why we need power
management to be configured for the hosts running HA virtual
machines. If one host is down because of network interrupt or
power failure, the engine should know how many HA VMs are down and
find out the VM images on the storage domain to start the VM
instances on another host in the cluster. Why do we need power
manager to be configured? We only need a method to check the VM
or host status and a method to restart the VM instances with
existing VM images on another host. Is it required to force
powering down the failing host forever to make sure the failing
host will not come back to live again?<br>

Subject: Re: [Users] High Availability
I think that there is some confusion here so I will explain what are
the
configurations for fail-over.
power management will reboot your host if a connectivity issue is
detected so all your vm's will be killed.
resilience policy will allow you to choose vm migration policy during
a
host failure and its configured in the cluster level (clusters ->
select
cluster -> general sub tab -> edit policy)
High Availability is configured only for servers type vm's and what
it
does is re-run the vm in case the pid of the vm is killed (so most
commonly, if you have power management configured, and the host is
rebooted, the vm will start automatically on a different host).
so it really depends what you want. if you want vm migration than
look
into cluster policy, if you want a specific vm to always be up and
you
don't care about the other vm's than configure power management and a
HA
vm. it really depends on what you need.

Hi,
You have to configure power management to make high availability
working and mark the vms high availability checkbox...

René

What should I need to configure to put HA working? I mean, when a
host broke all the VM automatically move to another host.
Do I need to have Power management enabled?
Thanks
