VMware HA Network Failover & Failback Delay
Hi Guys
There are lots of article describes about VMware VSwitch Teaming capabilities and their configuration. But I could not find any article that explains some actions need to be done to avoid these delays and what are the expected behavior.
So recently I came across two good resource that helped me to a good idea on this area. So I have listed the resource below for anyone have a similar requirement.

Source 2: ( Bit old doc , but still applicable for the newer versions as well.
ESXi Host Disconnects from vCenter Server
Hi All
Recently we had an issue in one of customer environment where he is hosting 3 nodes ESXi Cluster on Nutanix. Suddenly one of the host was showing not responding and disconnected from the VCenter. But luckily there was no impact to the production VM ‘s hosted in that node since it was only the Management Network was having issue with it. After several hours of troubleshooting we decided to call the VMware Support and found out the issue is related to KB 2145611)
Below is the extract from the vmkernel.log

The support engineer suggested that we could try it by clear the likewise cache(where the ESXI host the AD authentication related data) before applying the patch.
The commands he used are:(Take a Putty Session to the ESXi host impacted)
# /usr/lib/vmware/likewsie/lw-lsa ad-cache –delete all
The above command will produce an error (file not found) if there is no cache.
Good luck.
Hope you like it..
