'''Be aware that playing with HA can have disastrous effects, especially if the ''Isolation Response'' of your cluster is set to ''Power Off''''' If you can, consider waiting until outside of production hours before trying to resolve a problem. | |||
It's quite common for HA to go into an error state, normal course of action is to use the '''Reconfigure for HA''' option for the ESX that's experiencing the problem. This reinstalls the HA agent onto the ESX onto the ESX. It's also common to have to do this a couple of times for it to be successful. | |||
Other things to try... | |||
* Restart the HA process - see [[#High_Availability_Stop.2FStart|High Availability Stop/Start]] | |||
* Deinstall HA - see below | |||
=== Manually Deinstall === | |||
# Put the ESX into maintenance mode | |||
# Disconnect the ESX from the Virtual Centre | |||
# SSH to the ESX server (or use [[#ESXi_Tech_Support_Mode|ESXi Tech Support Mode]]) | |||
# <code> cd /opt/vmware/uninstallers </code> | |||
# <code> ./VMware-vpxa-uninstall.sh </code> | |||
# <code> ./VMware-aam-ha-uninstall.sh </code> | |||
# Reconect the ESX to the VC | |||
# Take out of maintenance mode | |||
If the VC Agent or HA Agent fails due to the uninstaller being unable to remove files/folders, and you can't remove them manually, this is an indication that the disk is becoming corrupt. Especially if installed on a USB key, consider replacing ASAP. | |||
