hcimarkus: Disable HA high availability Nutanix AHV Cluster

Montag, 17. Januar 2022

To disable HA completely on the cluster, use the following command from nutanix user of any CVM in that cluster:

acli ha.update enable_failover=0
acli ha.get

After running acli ha.get, you should see 'ha_state: "kAcropolisHADisabled"' and also on Prism dashboard under VM Summary widget.

To re-enable HA, please use the following command:

acli ha.update enable_failover=1
acli ha.get

This command disables HA on the complete cluster and not on individual node. It is recommended to disable HA only if it is absolutely required.
