Thank you for your reply.
I've read through the HA Deepdive. So you are saying that a Host that gets Disconnected from its Datastore wont failover if it still has a Network connection to the cluster?
I'm also unclear as to what happens when a Host is Isolated. Seems like if the Host is Isolated (cannot reach Gateway) that it would not start the VMs of the hosts in the cluster. Though if a Host is Partitioned that it would restart the VMs if it could not reach other hosts?
I'm trying to come up with a Virtual Environment Redundancy Failover Test Plan outlining different failures. I was thinking the common failures were Host/power, SAS Partiual , SAS Complete, NIC Partial, NIC Complete. I'm not sure how I would document the Datastore Sccess Failure, as nothing failed over.
2 Host Power/Hardware Failure
2.1 How to initiate the failure
2.2 What to expect from the failure
2.3 How to recover from the failure
3 DAS Single SAS Cable Failure
3.1 How to initiate the failure
3.2 What to expect from the failure
3.3 How to recover from the failure
4 DAS Dual SAS Cable Failure
4.1 How to initiate the failure
4.2 What to expect from the failure
4.3 How to recover from the failure
5 Single NIC Cable Failure
5.1 How to initiate the failure
5.2 What to expect from the failure
5.3 How to recover from the failure
6 Multiple NIC Cable Failure
6.1 How to initiate the failure
6.2 What to expect from the failure
6.3 How to recover from the failure
