VMCP and APD

[baber]

Dear all

Hi

about vmcp (APD) i read documents but one part of document confused me :

in vmware documents said " Once the APD Timeout has been reached (default: 140 seconds) VMCP will wait an additional period of time before taking action against the affected VMs. By default, the waiting period is 3 minutes. In other words, VMCP will wait 5m:20s before taking action against VMs. The sum of the APD Timeout and the Delay for VM Failover is also known as the VMCP Timeout."

1- is that means after 5m:20s apd will do one of thise option that administrator selected?

1 -disable

2- no issue

3- poweroff and restart vm(conservative)

4-poweroff and restart vms (aggressive)

2- Can you clearly explain what wil do Response for APD recovery after APD timeout when i set on restart or disable

As mentioned in the blog:

Disabled – No action will be taken against the affected VMs.

Reset VMs – The VMs will be reset on the same host. (Hard reset)
