  • 1.  vMotion and startup settings

    Posted Feb 28, 2011 05:41 PM

    Hello.

    In my environment I saw that vMotion doesn't transfer the startup settings of an VM from one host to another host! I already read several threads but nowhere was written how this should be handled.... Are there any recommendations?

    My environment: 3x ESXi 4.1 / Shared storage / Essentials Plus license

    Thanks for some feedback.

    Creating an HA cluster would rectify this.

    so a HA cluster is the solution?

    yup, any vm on your ha hosts will use the startup setting you specify in your cluster.

    I just wanted to drop a link to Duncan's HA deepdive.  Great blogpost on HA.
