Log Messages About Host Isolation
Moving to the Tasks & Events tab, you will also see the log messages that were generated when VMware HA
detected the host isolation.
Figure 39.
Observing the Virtual Machines on the Isolated Host
Examine the output of the Virtual Machines tab of the cluster. Observe that the virtual machines on the
isolated host are now shown in gray. You’ll also observe that the virtual machines did not get restarted on
another host. This is due to the fact that the default setting for the isolation response is
Leave Powered On
.
With this as the setting for the isolation response, the virtual machines will continue to run on the isolated
host. In this scenario, setting the isolation response to
Shutdown
would cause the virtual machines to
gracefully shut down, then restart.
