Today I added some vSphere 5.0 u1 hosts in a new created cluster, the SAN will be delivered next week so I didn’t have central storage, to finish my new cluster setup I configured HA and DRS. After configuring HA I received this warning message:
The number of heartbeat datastores for host is 0, which is less than required: 2
Solution:
To (temporary (until the SAN is installed)) hide the warning message I configured the HA – Advanced Option:
- Log in to vCenter Server
- Right-click the cluster and click Edit Settings
- Click VMware HA > Advanced Options
- Under Option, add an entry for das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore
- Under Value, type: true
