Table 8‐3 provides details on addressing a permanent Managed Server failure.
Table 8-3. Managed Server Failure (Permanent) and Recovery Options
Failure Behavior
Within two minutes, the Lab
Manager Web console notes
the lost Managed Server
system is "unreachable."
All virtual machine operations
on that machine fail (except for
Force Undeploy).
All other operations continue
to work. Virtual machines
running on other Managed
Server systems can function
properly.
Configurations with virtual
routers running on the lost
Managed Server system
cannot communicate outside
the network fence.
Lab Manager no longer
deploys virtual machines on
this Managed Server system.
VMware, Inc.
Recovery Behavior and Actions
Automatic recovery does not exist.
Review the manual steps for
recovery:
Undeploy virtual machines on
the lost Managed Server
system and redeploy the
virtual machines on other
Managed Server systems.
The Undeploy operation fails
but allows you to perform a
Force Undeploy operation.
Remove the Managed Server
system from management.
