LifeKeeper Single Server Protection Heartbeat with VMware HA

The LifeKeeper Single Server Protection heartbeat is the signal sent to VMware HA (every 10 seconds if running in a VMware guest OS and if HA is enabled) indicating that the protected applications are OK. If an application fails, LifeKeeper Single Server Protection will first attempt to recover the application. If recovery fails, LifeKeeper Single Server Protection will withhold the heartbeat, which instructs VMware HA to reboot the VM.
