Configure an Anti-Affinity Rule and a Virtual Machine Group for a Clustered Workspace ONE Access Instance

To protect the nodes in a clustered
Workspace ONE Access
instance from a host-level failure, configure an anti-affinity rule to run the virtual machines on different hosts in the default management vSphere cluster. You then configure a VM group to define the startup order to ensure that vSphere High Availability powers on the clustered
Workspace ONE Access
nodes in the correct order.
  1. In a web browser, log in to the management domain
    vCenter Server
    by using the vSphere Client (https://
    <vcenter_server_fqdn>
    /ui).
  2. In the Hosts and Clusters inventory, expand the management domain vCenter Server and data center.
  3. Select the cluster and click the
    Configure
    tab.
  4. Create the anti-affinity rule for the clustered
    Workspace ONE Access
    virtual machines.
    1. Navigate to
      Configuration
      VM/Host rules
      and click
      Add
      .
    2. Configure the settings and click
      OK
      .

  5. Create a virtual machine group for the clustered
    Workspace ONE Access
    nodes.

      and click
      Add
      .
    2. Configure the settings and click
