its a new thing in v5 data store heartbeat you need in v5 redundancy on the management nics and at least two data stores if you dont want to suppress the warning

I don't want to suppress the warning.

I already have one shared datastore.

do i need one more shared data store between these nodes.

I have created another network and enabled management network traffic.

i did on both servers. What do i need to do in order to let the system know that i did configure this redundancy.

error still shows.

i did right click on the host and selected "reconfigure for vSphere HA" and one configuration error is gone.

i left with one.

go to the cluster properties and there is a item for datastore heart beat you have to select both data stores

Add another datastore or see my EE Article to Supress the Warning, nothing is wrong with HA, its a Warning.

I did turn on the DRS and set to aggressive but i don't see the VMs are balanced between two nodes.

i was expecting a vmotion to happen from one host to another host.
