I noticed on host running VMware ESX sometimes HA gets disabled because of network glitches, even trying it from Virtual Center client I wasn’t able to turn it on. I like playing with command line options when Virtual Center GUI fails to work. Here is a command that i used to enable HA back on my VMware ESX host.
Steps to enable HA by command line in VMware ESX host:
1. Login as root into ESX host using ssh :
|
$ssh –l root esxclstr10 root@esxclstr10’s password:************ |
2. Run service restart on ESX host for enabling HA:
|
# service mgmt-vmware restart |
One VMware management service restarts you can re-enable HA back
