Disable HA high availability Nutanix AHV Cluster

 

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.
