Under the Recent Tasks pane of the vSphere Client, you can observe the progress of the initialization of HA on

the systems within the cluster. You'll notice that the configuration tasks occur in parallel among all the hosts

within the cluster.

Wait for Task to Complete

Figure 5. Tasks Showing Completed Status

Wait until all the tasks show a Completed status. This should only take a minute. At this point, VMware HA is

now providing protection for the virtual machines that are powered on.

At this point, WMware HA should be enabled within your cluster. This section will demonstrate several methods

you can use to verify that HA is enabled.

Figure 6. Configuration of HA

After enabling HA, you will notice that a section for HA is now shown under the cluster summary screen. This will

show you general information about the configuration of HA. There is also an option for Cluster Status here.

Click this to bring up the HA Cluster Status screen.
