Failure scenarios of a VxRail vSAN two-node cluster

This section will discuss some failure scenarios of a VxRail vSAN two-node cluster. The virtual machines allocated on the VxRail vSAN two-node cluster trigger different behavior when any hardware failure (for example, to the VxRail node, vSAN witness, HDD, or network uplinks) exists in the cluster. In Figure 6.12, there are four virtual machines (VM A/B/C/D) running on this VxRail vSAN two-node cluster. VMs A and B are allocated on Fault Domain 1, and VMs C and D are allocated on Fault Domain 2. A disk group (one SSD cache and three HDDs) is created on each VxRail node:

The next section will discuss the four failover scenarios, including FD hardware failures, a faulty vSAN witness, disconnected network uplinks, and HDD failures.

Scenario one

In Figure 6.13, what status will the virtual machines trigger if VxRail Node 2 is faulty in the VxRail vSAN...
