OVM server farm sandbox - crash emulation

Let's observe the failover feature(s) of OVM, now we have marked our VM to be HA.

Disrupt the server

We disrupt the server where the VM is actively running on. We can do that by e.g.:

• Kill the VM in OVM Manager
• Disconnecting the network adapter in VMWare
• Pauze the machine in VMWare.

Observe the console messages

On the remaining server(s), observe the failing heartbeat detection, and takeover the VM's of the failed server(s).
