- Q4. How does HA works? Port number? How many host failure allowed and why? ANS--> Maximum allowed host failures within a HA cluster is 4. What happens if 4 hosts have failed and a 5th one also fails. I have st...
- Ans.
VMware HA allows for a maximum of 4 host failures within a cluster. If a 5th host fails, VMs may not restart depending on admission control settings.
Maximum allowed host failures within a HA cluster is 4
If a 5th host fails and admission control is enabled, some VMs may not restart due to resource constraints

- Q5. What are active host / primary host in HA? Explain it? ANS--> When you add a host to a VMware HA cluster, an agent is uploaded to the host and configured to communicat with other agents in the cluster. The...
- Q6. Prerequisites for HA ? First, for clusters enabled for VMware HA, all virtual machines and their configuration files must reside on shared storage (Fibre Channel SAN, iSCSI SAN, or SAN iSCI NAS), because you need to be able to power on the virtual machine on any host in the cluster. Second, VMware HA monitors heartbeat between hosts on the console network for failure detection. So, to have reliable failure detection for HA clusters, the console network should have redundant network paths. That way, if a host's first network connection fails, the second connection can broadcast heartbeats to other hosts. Last, if you want to use DRS with HA for load balancing, the hosts in your cluster must be part of a VMotion network. If the hosts are not in the VMotion network, however, DRS can still make initial placement recommendations
- Ans.
