HA Default settings

[kvyashwanthdee1]

Hi Team,

 

IS there any possibility to change VMware HA Default settings? for example, datastore heartbeat can we reduce it less than 16 seconds?

is it advisable?

You can set some advanced options to customise the behavior of the vSphere HA cluster: 

• https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-availability/GUID-E0161CB5-BD3F-425F-A7E0-BF83B005FECA.html
• https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2033250 (up to vSphere 7)

In general I would not recommend to change the default values.

Thank you for your information,  could you please confirm what is the default datastore heartbeat value?

Why would you want to change this? What are you trying to achieve?
