HA and auto start / stop

for the virtual machines that are part of the HA cluster is still not possible to control the parameters of start/stop automatic start and delay?

any plans for it in vsphere 6?

Since the Center of Documentation of vSphere

If the failure of a host and its virtual machines need to be restarted, you can control the order in which this is done with the restart VM priority setting. You can also configure how vSphere HA responds if hosts and how vSphere HA responds so guests lose connectivity network management with other hosts using the host isolation response parameter.

These settings apply to all the virtual machines in the cluster in the event of a host failure or isolation. You can also configure exceptions for specific virtual machines. See individual vSphere HA to customize the behavior of a Virtual Machine.

VM Restart priority

VM restart priority determines the relative order in which virtual machines are placed on new hosts after a failure of the host. These virtual machines are delivered to market, with the highest priority of the VMS attempted first and continuing those who have priority low until all virtual machines are rebooted, or no resources cluster more isn't available. Note that if vSphere HA fails to power on a virtual machine of high priority, he engages to try any lower priority level of virtual machines. For this reason, the priority of restarting VM cannot be used to assert a priority to restart for a multiple application of the virtual machine. In addition, if the number of host failures exceeds what admission control allows, virtual machines with the priority the lower cannot be restarted until that more resources will be available. Virtual machines are restarted on the hosts of failover, if specified.

The values for this parameter are: off, low, medium (default), and high. If you select off, vSphere HA is disabled for the virtual machine, which means it is not restarted on other ESXi hosts if a host fails. The disabled parameter is ignored by the vSphere HA VM/Application monitoring function, as this function protects virtual machines against failure at the level of the operating system and not the failures of virtual machine. In case of failure at the level of the operating system, the OS is reset by vSphere HA and the virtual machine is running on the same host. You can change this setting for each of the virtual machines.

------

The thing with VM restart the priority that it is currently the order that the boot of VMS is attempted after an HA event. It is not a guarantee that the virtual machines will start in a particular order. It can work well for your environment. I recommend you to test if you can.

Here's a post from www.yellow-bricks.com about restart priorities and some of the issues in more detail with them:

I put priorities of reboot but still my VMs seem to be lit in a different order

And here is a rough idea of what we're looking to future:

I hope this helps.

  • How to produce a list of events of asleep and awake processes and software start-stop

    Hello

    I have to study why sometimes a backup process is stopped due to an error in the availability of the disc.

    For this I must produce a list of 'asleep' events 'awake' and stop to start the backup software (easeUS todo Backup station).

    I guess that this list can be produced by Event Viewer: custom view: Source... so I know more what to observe.

    For soft processes I don't see in the list of "sources of events.

    Really I can do to follow the complex process combining:

    • Sleep and awake system
    • Beginning and available on the disk and errors
    • Power of software processes

    Events-hear you Viewer Event Viewer?

    You must identify each event ID. You can then filter on each event ID. You will get some event ID reports that have the same number you will have to throw so that the list has only those you want. To produce a list of identical reports of ID select the reports by holding the SHIFT key and by placing the cursor on the first and the last report. With all the reports highlighted, right-click and select copy, copy the table. You then have the data to your Clipboard, and you can then paste into Word or Excel. Excel can be the best if you want to interleave different lists.

  • VMs of automatic start/stop on power loss

    Hello! I know that this has been covered at the front (and I read these threads/documents/etc), but I still have questions. Forgive my ignorance!

    So far I have activated it so:

    Capture1.PNG

    But virtual machines under 'Autostart' is still not auto-start. I then found that HA can be a factor (if it is enabled, you can not auto-start/stop VMs). However, it is currently in a State of N/A:

    Capture2.PNG

    Each VM has this same State N/A as well (and VM Tools are installed on each of them, if it matters). I have not any clusters or whatever it be listed under the House, so I can't understand where really disable HA:

    Looks like you run ESXi 5.0 Update 1, and only in this version there was a bug that made the autostart VM does not...

    Upgrade to a later patch the 5.0 (or better to 6.0?) level to solve the problem.

    I was wondering if there is a way to push off the loading application autostart until after the SD card / memory Store is available. I'm having a problem with an app that I developed, forcing some users to enter a code of activation before the trial period is over. I did a class that writes debugging information on the SD card for users to send it to me, so I can see where the failure occurs. Well, it seems that the card SD is not available when you start, is it true that weel to store memory? If so, is there a way around it?

First thing that is written to the log file is not at the beginning of the start feature, the still saw issues with our log file. At least, it seems that the storage is on front of network connection. If you still have the problem of storage, you could extend peterof idea and write to the file using some proxy in the buffer until the storage is available.

    It runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
    confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours, so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.
