After my live migration issues have now been resolved (in another thread) I'm now busy testing the HA capabilities again.
Current situation: * ACS 4.4.1 * Centos 6.5 * 2 Xen hosts running 6.2 with sp1 and hotfixes * Ubuntu 14.04 instance running built from an ubuntu server 14.04 iso and using this guide -> http://softlit.blogspot.com/2014/05/xenserver-62-and-ubuntu-1404-lts.html with guest additions/PV drivers installed * Each xen host has only one network cable plugged into it * Running a basic zone with my management server as the primary and secondary storage which each xen server can mount correctly * My instances boot up with 10.8.1.x/24 ip's which are not routable on my network currently (incase this has a bearing on anything). I have a temp ip on my laptop to test ping's etc * 'alert.wait' is set to 30 in global settings and cloudstack-management restarted * My instance is using an HA enabled template. ie. Under "Details" for that instance "HA Enabled" does show "Yes" * Both my xen hosts are in the same cluster, the same pod and the same zone * The only virtual router that was auto created during my installation (I guess of the instance) is using a Compute offering of "System Offering For Software Router" which under "Service offerings", "System Offerings" and then "System Offering For Software Router" does have "Offer HA" set to "Yes" What I've now tried is check the "Host" that the instance is running on under "Details" and yank that network cable (the xen host now has no network cables plugged into it at all) and wait for the failover to happen. After 5 minutes the instance is still not reachable (I kept a window open with ping running). Here is the log for 5 minutes -> http://pastebin.com/w7AsBqzt What could be the problem?
