Re: Isolation revealed :)

I have no page numbers, cause flow editions do not have static pages

There are a number of  paragraphs that led me to understand that the master response would depend on the isolation setting.

First, just to have this out of the way, the decission has to be taken by a master, not by any host, right ?

(i,e, the master is the point of logic where the call to restart or not a VM is taken)

 

Near location 760, "prior to VS 5, vm restarts were always attempted ... DS heartbeating enables a master to more correctly

determine the state ...if the master determines that the slave is isolated it will only take action when it is appropriate to take action

With that meaning that the master will only initiate restarts when vms are down or powered down / shut down by a triggered isolation

response,..."

 

So from that follows that isolation response does have more impact than the direct response of the host being isolated. It also

affects the response of the master.

 

This is a home lab, with an NFS and an iSCSI DS. Hosts have two NICs, NFS was reached via second NIC, only first one declared as management.

Hosts are indeed nested inside workstation, but I don't think this matters. The storage is outside the workstation desktop.

The isolation was triggered by disconnecting the NIC at workstation.Just the first, so the NFS DS was still there and the master knew that

it was indeed a host isolated and not a host down state.
