REHV HA

Hi,

I'm looking at a doing a pilot in my company Pitney Bowes of RHEV. I've had it set up in my lab for a few weeks and really like it. We are a global VMware site, but in general we use VMs for engineering... not a lot of customer facing mission critical services... but saying that we do use HA and even as bullet proof as VMware say it is because it does not rely on the VCenter server but on elected nodes, I have had problems with it restarting VMs.

So, from what I have read, it sounds like RHEV is reliant on the RHEV manager to restart VMs. So it is a single point of failure, and if you ran RHEV manager as a VM on your cluster and the node it was on failed, it wouldn't get restarted. Just wondering if this is still the case? And if so are there plans to make the HA process more resilient?

As I said I have been reading, but not sure if what I am reading is totally up to date.

Thanks for your input!

Bill
