Hello,
I am currently playing with several test environments , and I have the following case :
- 1 vCenter 5.0 913577 that has 1 cluster with 2 ESXi hosts 5.0 1117897 , HA enabled and 3 powered on virtual machines
Now , showing someone what HA does , I powered off the Slave Host ( from the power button ) , everything went ok , the VMs were restarted on the Master ESXi host .
After I powered on the Slave , moved 1 machine on the Slave and 2 remained on the Master . Everything was looking good, I tried the same test with the Master host ( powered it off from the button ) , and now the fun begins :
- I can see in Summary of the Slave host : vSphere HA state : Election and the error on the cluster : Cannot find vSphere HA master agent . The VMs that were running on the Master host are still down.
Shouldn't the Slave host take over the Master function ( as there is no other ESXi host ) ? Am I missing something, or ?
Please let me know if you need additional details or something .
Thank you in advance.
