NOTE: Enabling or disabling the HA policy, which is configured in vCenter®, is only applicable for the Clusters tab in the Current Capacity view. If the HA policy is enabled for a cluster, Foglight Capacity Director Lite calculates the cluster resources and reserve the cluster resources that are required to satisfy the HA policy. A green check mark appears in the HA column when the HA policy is enabled.
NOTE: When performance issues are prompted, click the message to open the Alarm view and check the detailed information. |
