Best Practice? Affinity Rules Enforcement Manager or High Availability?

Hello everyone, Not sure if I should ask this here as it seems to be a pretty obvious question but here it is. What is the best solution for making your VMs able to automatically boot up on another working host when something goes wrong (gluster problem, non responsive host etc)? Would you enable the Affinity Manager and enforce some policies or would you set the VMs you want as Highly Available? Thank you very much for your time! Best regards, Maria Souvalioti

High Availability and Host fencing are the 2 parts that you need to ensure that the VM will be restarted after a failure. If you storage domain goes bad, the VMs will be paused and theoretically they will be resumed automatically when the storage domain is back. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov
