Hi all

We're implementing a vplex metro (cross site) with vSphere 5.5. We can't find a doc that tells us exactly how to configure Vmware HA and ESXi settings. We have found several docs on 5.1 but nothing about 5.5

We set up these parameters

esxcli system settings advanced set -o "/Disk/AutoremoveOnPDL" -i 0

echo “disk.terminateVMOnPDLDefault = true“ >> /etc/vmware/settings

and VMKernel.boot.terminateVMOnPDL = yes

on HA cluster-> advanced parameters

das.maskCleanShutdownEnabled = true

Are these parameters correct?

Another question... during our tests we've removed access to the distributed volume for a single node, simulating a PDL / APD condition. We expected HA to failover the VM to another host, but it just doesn't happen. Is these behaviour correct? What do we need to do in order to have HA restart the VM on a different host?

Thank you.
