  • 1.  Disable HA for some VMs

    Posted Oct 22, 2019 11:42 AM

    Hi,
    i'm using vSphere 6.5 and i want to enable HA for a cluster.
    Thats no problem but if i activate it on the cluster all VMs are protected.
    Is it possible to exclude some VMs from HA?

    Regards
    Dennis

    you can do that in the "VM Override" Section on your cluster, simply set "vm restart priority" to disabled.

    I found this article too and i set the Option:How to Disable VMware HA for individual VM using VM Overrides option

    I included all machines in the pool. Only one machine is protected to restart on the other ESXi Server.
    Now i get this message:

    But why? It is only one VM protected and the ressources should be enough.
