So... It is possible for a fully automatic migration of the VM to another hypervisor in case Storage connection fails?

How can we make this happen? Because for the moment, when we tested the situation they stayed in pause state.

(Test situation:

• Unplug the 2 fibre cables from the hypervisor
• VM's go in pause state
• VM's stayed in pause state until the failure was solved

)

They only returned when we restored the fiber connection to the Hypervisor...

Kind Regards,

Koen

Hi Koen,
Resuming from paused due to io issues is supported (adding relevant folks).
Regardless, if you did not define power management, you should manually approve
source host was rebooted in order for migration to proceed. Otherwise we risk
split-brain scenario.
