I have 5.1.0,880146 running. I just set up 2 hosts with HA configured and wanted to do proof of concept w/ the customer. I left one test vm running on host 1 and rebooted the host. As expected as the server rebooted and the vm restarted on host 2. I then attempted to perform a switch failure by pulling the network cables for host 1 from the switch. I have two vswitches setup. Each host has 4 nics.
vswitch 0 - vnic0 is active mgmt port w/ vnic2 standby; vnic2 is active for vmotion w/ vnic0 as standby
vswitch 1 - vm network w/ vnic1 and vnic3 active/active
Same network configuration on both hosts.
When I pull the cables, nothing happens even after 2 minutes. The connections on vswitch 1 show as disconnected. I have the datasore heartbeating set to select any of the cluster datastores in which I have 2.
I've tried to reconfigure HA and disabled/re-enabled it.
Am I missing something here?
