Configure the Application Timeout Exception

vCenter Server Heartbeat can alert the Administrator if the time taken to start or stop the entire application

exceeds the expected time during the following operations:

 vCenter Heartbeat startup

 Shutdown with protected applications

 Switchover

 Failover

 When the Administrator selects Start Application

 When the Administrator selects Stop Application

Configure timeout settings

1 Right-click on the application and select Edit from the menu or select the application and click Edit at the

top of the pane to invoke the Edit Application dialog.

2 Enter new values into the Stop Timeout and Start Timeout text boxes or use the arrow buttons to adjust

the values (seconds). Click OK.

vCenter Server with SQL Server on a Separate Host

When vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed in an environment where SQL Server is on a separate host from

vCenter Server, increase the default Heartbeat interval for the vCenter Server from 20 to 30 seconds to ensure

proper failover.

Installation Verification

The Installation Verification process validates the proper installation of vCenter Server Heartbeat and tests the

software’s operation safely exercising the ability of vCenter Server Heartbeat to perform a failover, switchover,

and to replicate data and allows you to verify the operations complete successfully without risk to data. These

exercises build upon one another and therefore must be performed in order.

OTE vCenter Server Heartbeat does not issue the timeout warning when it is performing the service

restart recovery action provided by the periodic service monitoring. If there are multiple applications

installed, vCenter Server Heartbeat will total the individual timeouts set for each application and issue a

single Application Timeout Exception alert.

OTE The Start Timeout value should be configured according to vCenter inventory size and the Stop Timeout

value according to inventory size and operational load. For example, if the inventory is large (more than 500

hosts and 15K Virtual machines, the Start time can be 20-30 minutes. Use the Start Timeout experienced as a

guide to assist in determining the Stop Timeout value.
