InsufficientFailoverResourcesEvent.longDescription = "\
\
\
The cluster does not have enough unreserved capacity to satisfy the level configured \

best effort basis.\
\
\
\
If the "number of host failures to tolerate" policy is configured and a few \
virtual machines have a much higher CPU or memory reservation than the other \
virtual machines, vSphere HA admission control can be excessively conservative \
to ensure that there are enough unfragmented resources if a host fails.\
\
\
Use similar CPU and memory reservations for all virtual machines \
in the cluster. If this is not possible, consider using a different vSphere HA admission \
control policy, such as reserving a percentage of cluster resource for failover. \
Alternatively, you can use advanced options to specify a cap for the slot size. \
See the vSphere Availability Guide for details.\
\
\
\
\
Hosts with vSphere HA agent errors are not good candidates \
for providing failover capacity in the cluster, and their resources are \
not considered for vSphere HA admission control purposes. If many hosts have an \
vSphere HA agent error, vCenter Server generates this event.\

VmFailoverFailed.longDescription = "\
\
\
vSphere HA did not failover this virtual machine. The event includes the details of the fault that \
was generated when vSphere HA attempted the failover. vSphere HA will retry the failover on another \
host unless the maximum number of failover attempts have been exceeded. In many cases, the retry \
will succeeed.\
\
\
\
The failover did not succeed because a problem occurred while vSphere HA was trying to restart \
the virtual machine. Possible problems include the inability to register or reconfigure the virtual\
machine on the new host because another operation on the same virtual machine is\
already in progress, or because the virtual machine is still powered on. It may also occur if the \
configuration file of the virtual machine is corrupt.\
\
\
If vSphere HA is unable to failover the virtual machine after repeated attempts, investigate the \
error reported by each occurences of this event, or trying powering on the virtual \
machine and investigate any returned errors.\
\
\
If the error reports that a \
file is locked, the VM may be powered on a host that the vSphere HA master agent can no longer \
monitor using the management network or heartbeat datastores, or it may have been powered on by a \
user on a host outside of the cluster. If any hosts have been declared dead, investigate whether a \
networking/storage issue may be the cause. \
\
\
If, however, the error reports that the virtual machine is \
in an invalid state, there may be an inprogress operation that is preventing access to the \
virtual machine's files. Investigate whether there are in-progress operations, such as a clone operation \
that is taking a long time to complete. \

VmMaxRestartCountReached.longDescription = "\
\
\
vSphere HA has reached the maximum number of failover attempts for this virtual \
machine and has not been able to restart it. No further failover attempts \
will be made. By default vSphere HA attempts to failover a virtual machine 5 times. \
\
\
\
Failover can fail for a number of reasons including that \
the configuration file of the virtual machine is corrupt or one or more of the virtual \
machines datastores are not accessible by any host in the cluster due to an all paths\
down condition. In addition, the VM may be powered on a host that the vSphere HA master agent \
can no longer monitor using the management network or heartbeat datastores, or it may have been \
powered on by a user on a host outside of the cluster. \
\
\
To determine why previous failover attempts failed, search the events that are logged \
for the VM for occurences of the event vSphere HA reports when a failover fails. These events \
will report the reason for the failed failover. vSphere HA events can be located by searching \
for the phrase 'vSphere HA'. To determine whether any issues still exist, try \
to manually power on the virtual machine. If power-on fails, investigate the error \
that is returned. But, if the power-on remains pending for a long time, \
investigate whether an all paths down condition exists. Also, if any hosts have been declared dead,\
investigate whether a networking or storage issue may be the cause. \

This event is issued by vSphere HA when the master agent was not able to fail over \

a cause for it in the event summary, but note that additional causes might exist.\
It is more likely to occur if vSphere HA admission \
control is disabled or more hosts fail than were provisioned for. When a virtual \
machine cannot be placed, vSphere HA will retry placing it when the cluster state \

DasHostIsolatedEvent.longDescription = "\
\
\
vSphere HA detected that the host is network isolated. When a host is in this state, vSphere HA \
applies the power-off or shutdown host isolation response to virtual machines running on the host, and \
continues to monitor the virtual machines that are left powered on. While a host is in this state, vSphere HA's \
ability to restart virtual machines after a failure is impacted. vSphere HA only powers off or shuts down a \
virtual machine if the agent on the host determines that a master agent is responsible for the virtual machine. \
\
\
\
A host is network isolated if both of the following conditions are met: (1) \
isolation addresses have been configured and the host is unable to ping them; (2) \
the vSphere HA agent on the host is unable to access any of the agents running on the other cluster hosts. \
\
\
Resolve the networking problem that is preventing the host from pinging its isolation\
addresses and communicating with other hosts. Ensure that there is redundancy in the \
management networks used by vSphere HA. With redundancy, vSphere HA is able to communicate \
over more than one path thus reducing the chance of a host becoming isolated. \

\
"
HostMissingNetworksEvent.longDescription = "\
\
\
The host being added to the vSphere HA cluster has fewer management networks than \
existing hosts in the cluster. When vSphere HA is being configured for a host, an existing \
host in the cluster is examined for the networks used by vSphere HA for heartbeats \
and other vSphere HA communication. The joining host is expected to have the same \
number of management networks, and optimally, have common subnets. This \
helps facilitate the pairing of source/destination pairs for heartbeats. \
If common subnets are not detected (using the IP address/subnet mask) between \
the member being added and the existing members of the cluster, this event is \
generated and the configuration task fails. The event details report the \
subnets of the existing member that are not present on the joining member. \
\
\
\
The host does not have networks compatible with an existing cluster member\
\
\
Change the host's network configuration to enable vSphere HA traffic on the same \
subnets as existing hosts in the cluster. vSphere HA will use the Service Console \
port groups on ESX and, on ESXi hosts, the port groups with the "Management Traffic" \
checkbox selected. After you change the host's network configuration, reconfigure \
vSphere HA for this host.\
\
\
Use advanced options to override the default port group selection for vSphere HA \
cluster communication. You can use the das.allowNetwork[X] advanced option \
to tell vSphere HA to use the port group specified in this option. \
For each port group name that should be used, specify one das.allowNetwork[X] \
advanced option. The vSphere HA configuration examines the host being added for \
port groups that match the name specified. The configuration task also examines \
an existing member whose port groups match the name specified. The number of \
matched port group names must be the same on each host. After setting the advanced \
options, re-enable vSphere HA for this cluster.\

HostIsolationIpPingFailedEvent.longDescription = "\
\
\
vSphere HA was unable to ping one or more of the isolation IP addresses. The inabilikty to ping the addresses \

gateway of the management network. You can override the default using advanced options, or \
specify additional addresses to use for determining if a host is network isolated. \
Set the das.useDefaultIsolationAddress advanced option to "false" if you prefer that \
vSphere HA not use the default gateway as the isolation address. Specify the das.isolationAddress[X] \

HostNoRedundantManagementNetworkEvent.longDescription = "\
\

vSphere HA has determined that there is only one path for vSphere HA management traffic, \
resulting in a single point of failure. Best practices require \
more than one path for vSphere HA to use for heartbeats and cluster communication. \
A host with a single path is more likely to be declared dead, network partitioned or \
isolated after a network failure. If declared dead, vSphere HA will not respond if the host \
subsequently actually fails, while if declared isolated, vSphere HA may apply the isolation \
response thus impacting the uptime of the virtual machines running on it.\
