Hi,<br />
<br />
I have 2 vsphere version 5 configured as HA. I have a san storage connected to each vsphere.<br />
<br />
Each vsphere have 1 hba and 4 nic cards.<br />
<br />
If I unplug one vsphere from the power cord .... HA works and migrates all Vm guest machines to the second vsphere.<br />
<br />
If I just unplug the HBA cable from one Vsphere (to simulate a hba connection problem) ... those VM guest machine &nbsp;don´t migrate to the second vsphere .<br />
<br />
Why ?<br />
<br />
Best Regards<br />

vsphere 5 ha .... doesn´t detect hba shortage

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
