High Availability 9-3
Figure 9–2, "HA in effect for a Virtual Machine Server failure" shows a Virtual
Machine Server failing and the guests restarting on other Virtual Machine Servers in
the server pool.

Figure 9–3, "HA in effect for a Virtual Machine Server restart or shut down" shows a
Virtual Machine Server restarting or shutting down and the guests migrating to other
Virtual Machine Servers in the server pool.

To enable HA, you must first make sure all Virtual Machine Servers in the server pool:
■ Use the same shared storage.
■ Are in the same OCFS2 or NFS cluster.
■ Are Oracle VM Server Release 2.1.2 or above.
■ Have the same cluster root, which is a specially designated shared storage used for
heatbeating in the cluster. For example, the cluster root might be
example.com:/OVS for an NFS cluster, or /dev/sdd6 for an OCFS2 cluster. The
heartbeat file would be located at example.com:/OVS/.server_pool_hb for an NFS
cluster. There is no heartbeat file for an OCFS2 cluster as one is in-built in the file
system.
