    <title>topic HA Failover Alarms in ESXi Discussions</title>
    <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/HA-Failover-Alarms/m-p/2154944#M202977</link>
    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;We had an issue in our 5.0 vCenter where HA did not appear to be functioning correctly. There were a large majority of VM's with HA alarms stating the VM could not failover. When I viewed the HA Cluster Status, it showed 4 hosts in initialization status and 1 connected to the master. All VM's were showing as protected. As part of troubleshooting, I cleared all of the VM alarms, and then reconfigured HA on the master. Once completed, the Cluster status showed the 5 hosts now connected to the master. However the VM's again returned with the same alarms.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The logs indicate that HA unsuccessfully failed over the VM, stating that the operation is not allowed in the current state. &lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.5em;"&gt;I did find this &lt;A href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=2017778"&gt;KB&lt;/A&gt;, which does seem to answer my question about manually reconfiguring HA. Is this the same reason why VM's on hosts other than the master showed the same alarms? And &lt;/SPAN&gt;these are obviously false-positive alarms correct?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;We had a separate issue with HA, and opened a support request with VMware. I brought this up, and they did confirm that these are false-positives that can be safely ignored. Posting this just in case someone comes across it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
