By default LifeKeeper Single Server Protection integration with VMware HA is disabled when installed on a VMware VM. To enable integration requires the following steps:
- Installation of VMware tools in the LifeKeeper Single Server Protection VM.
- Edit /etc/default/LifeKeeper and change the VMware HA integration tunable HA_DISABLE value form 1 to 0.
- Set the VMware HA parameter das.iostatsinterval to 0. This setting disables the I/O stats interval for VM Monitoring sensitivity. The default is 120 seconds.
- Restart LifeKeeper Single Server Protection. If LifeKeeper Single Server Protection is currently running, it must be stopped and restarted to pick up the above change in /etc/default/LifeKeeper.
- Installation of the SteelEye Management Console (optional step).
