2 VSA's in a VMware HA Cluster?

[Ted Laurent]

I would love to get the "auto-start" script that handles life AFTER the VSA VM boots. Anyone?

[Uwe Zessin]

The script is somewhere in this forum. It just starts the VSA with vmware-cmd, enables SW iSCSI again and then calls the VMware ESX server's autostart mechanism.

It is a good inspiration, but it does not fit well into the runlevel framework, because it does not check any script parameters. Use the command 'service --status-all' and it does the reverse: shuts down all VMs, disables iSCSI and shuts down the VSA.
:-O

Here's the thread with those scripts.

By the way Uwe Zessin -- Do you have the linux scripting skills to fix that script to make it a bit more comprehensive?

I know enough for doing my esx deployments and some basic management, but some of the runtime checks are a bit beyond me.
