Hi, I am developing an enterprise-level cloud infrastructure currently using Cloudstack 4.9. My head of department wished to check a specific failsafe scenario. It is as follows:
A highly available VM whose continuous execution even in event of some storage or connection error, should remain running or migrate to another host automatically if anything were to happen to the current host. I tried removing the LAN cable from the current host after an HA-enabled VM was executing on it, but the management server would not auto-start the VM on another host. It kept printing error messages such as "Communication failure. Host 5 timed out due to even PingTimeout" in management server logs. I have manually set the ping timeout duration to 30 seconds and its multiplier value to 1. Any suggestions as to what extra configuration is needed to make Cloudstack start the VM on another host or migrate it? Just to be clear, the host on which the HA-enabled VM is running does not have its primary and secondary storage added to the management server, so the primary and secondary storage disks on NFS shares are already available to the management server if it decides to start the instance on another suitable host (of which there are 2). I tried searching some feature like this in Cloudstack administration docs but could not find anything fitting to this scenario. Regards, Parth Patel
