ok.. so it's by design.
I made some changes after your comments:
- I set default restart priority to High
- I set VM Monitoring sensitivity to High
- I added management to the vMotion port group and added the other's host IP address as the isolation IP
After about a minute I unplug the cable on vmnic0 on server1, I see the VM in grey/italics with status "unknown"
Of course, the ping gives me time out to both server1 and the VM ip address.
The VM never shuts down nor fails over
Following your suggestion... How can I manually vMotion the VM? The "Migrate" option is greyed out at this moment.
