Hello everyone,
First let me apologize for the length of this post. I am new to the forums and have caught the VMWare "BUG"! I am preparing for my VCP test in December. I am going through the blueprint and working on HA and running into a weird issue. When attempting to put one host into maintenance mode I get the following alarm:
Insufficient vSphere HA failover resources
As we all are aware this should start the vMotion process but in my case it does not. Upon further investigation of the tasks I see Unable to automatically migrate (VM) from ESXIHost1.
HomeLab Information:
ESXI Host 1:
CPU: Xeon E3-1230v2
Memory: 32GB
ESXI Host 2:
CPU: Xeon E3-1230v2
Memory: 32GB
Storage:
Synology 1813+ (NFS & iSCSI)
Qnap 219p (iSCSI)
I attempted the following Admission Control Policy:
Host Failures the cluster tolerates: 1
Define failover capacity by reserving a percentage of the cluster resources:
CPU: 50%
Memory: 70%
With both policies I get the same error.
I have enough resources as I currently shutdown all VMs except for two, one on each host.
Also there is no CPU or Memory reservations on the VMs.
Any advise/suggestions would be appreciated as I am a bit confused as to why this shouldn’t be working.
