If a failure occurs in an ESXi host in the environment where VMware vSphere HA is enabled, the virtual machine is migrated to another ESXi host by VMware vSphere HA. This section explains the corrective actions for these migrations.
After the operational virtual machine (VM1) is migrated, both the operational (VM2) and standby (VM1) virtual machines exist on the same ESXi host.
After restoring the failure, migrate VM1 to another ESXi host so that VM1 and VM2 can operate on different ESXi host.
After the operational virtual machine (VM1) is migrated, the operational virtual machine (VM2) and the standby virtual machine (VM1) exist on different ESXi host.
In this case, it is not necessary to migrate VM1 to another ESXi host. However, start VM1 if it is stopped.
Note
After the migration, the status of shutdown facility may be displayed as "KillFailed" or "KillWorked" in the operational virtual machine. In this case, no corrective action is required. Restart the shutdown facility if restore the status of shutdown facility.
