Failure scenarios of VxRail Stretched Cluster
This section will discuss some failure scenarios of VxRail Stretched Cluster. The VMs allocated on VxRail Stretched Cluster trigger different behavior when any hardware failure (for example, VxRail node, vSAN witness, HDD, network uplinks, and so on) exists in the cluster. In Figure 7.14, two VMs (VM A and VM B) are running on this VxRail Stretched Cluster instance; these two VMs are allocated on the preferred site, and the different VM storage policies assign each VM. VM A is configured with VM Storage Policy A, and VM B is configured with VM Storage Policy B:

Now, we will discuss each failure scenario.
Failure scenario one
In Figure 7.15, what status will the VMs trigger if the vSAN communication is disconnected between the preferred and secondary sites?
