Failover in a WAN Environment
Failover in a WAN environment differs from Failover in a LAN environment due to the nature of the WAN
connection. In a WAN environment, auto-failover is disabled by default in the event that the WAN connection
is lost.
Should a condition arise that would normally trigger an auto-failover, the administrator will receive vCenter
Server Heartbeat alerts. The administrator must manually click the Make Active button on the Heartbeat tab
of the vSphere Web Client or the Server: Summary page of the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console to allow
the roles of the node to switch over the WAN.
