Create an HA group and add VMs

An HA group controls VM placement. Configure application replication and traffic failover separately.

VMs in an HA group run on different hosts, so one host failure affects at most one member. A VM can belong to one HA group at a time.

1. Open your Cloud VPS service and click HA Groups.
2. Click Create HA group.
3. Enter a name in HA GROUP NAME. Use letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens or underscores.
4. Click Create HA group. Check that the new group appears in the list.
5. Open the new group’s management menu and choose Add VM. Select a VM in VM, then click Add VM. Repeat for the other VMs you want in the group.
6. Check that the intended VMs appear under the group.

A VM can belong to one HA group at a time. If a running VM cannot join because its host already contains another group member, power it off during a maintenance window and try again. Restart it after adding it.
