Hi all, One small note, unplugging the management NIC will only cause an HA event if the storage is running over that NIC also.
Is the storage is over a separate NIC then, the guest VMs will continue to run when the mgmt. NIC is unplugged, Host HA will detect the disk activity and conclude that there is nothing it can do, as the VMs are still running other than mark the hosts as degraded.
