<p>It goes through all the advanced settings that need to be enabled and some default settings for all the tweaks as well.  Below is an overview of all the settings that need to be added:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having just got out of the Best Practices for VMware HA seminar, I&#8217;ve learned of some new developments.  Some people will see as essential, some are just cool.  The presentation by Nitin Suri was extremely informative and very helpful to give some guidelines about how to configure HA <span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the best of the  new features (no timescales specified):</p>
<ul>
<li> OS failure detection (this will be done using VMware Tools heartbeats)
<ul>
<li>Configurable through HA advanced setting</li>
<li>Configurable timeouts</li>
<li>Set maximum number of restarts for problem VMs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Increase cluster member maximum to 32 nodes</li>
<li>Virtual Center will perform HA specific checks to ensure configuration optimization and eradicate mistakes:
<ul>
<li>Host Name DNS resolution</li>
<li>Redundancy at the Service Console level</li>
<li>Isolation address checks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>ESX Server 3i (thin hypervisor)full functional support</li>
<li>Full automated restart for all VMs covered by HA should a whole cluster fail</li>
</ul>
<p>Unfortunately, there was no timescale indications for any of these features, but I would imagine that most of them will be complete by the time ESX Server 3i is complete.</p>
