Would it be correct to say that VMs running on NFS/local storage will not be affected if there is no SPM host.In other words,these VMs can still be started on a non SPM host (host 2) after host1 got fenced(SPM host before it got fenced).

Thank you very much for your response.

I have noticed delays in the selection of the SPM host and attempts to run VMs even before SPM host is selected.AFAIU,that is incorrect behavior.

It would first try to migrate VMs and if this won't work if would fence
SPM host and start HA VMs on other (now new SPM) host.
