I'm testing FT in my cluster (bl460 g1, xeon X5450's), flex-10 networking.
My question is- When I initiate the FT failover, I have one ping timeout during the failover process (expected), and the secondary VM outbound pings never blip (also expected). I would guess this to be non-impacting to any services that might be running on the VM because the VM never loses a step even though an inbound packet times out.
However, after the failover, every 10-15 seconds I see two packets lost inbound to the VM. Same ICMP timeout, but outbound from the server doesn't miss a beat. Also note the VM console locks up for several seconds. In the VM's event log, i see "vCenter cannot start the Secondary VM vmname Reason: Cannot complete migration for the Secondary VM"
It feels like something that might be a common misconfiguration, so maybe someone has seen this before and has some advice?
TIA,
Chris-
