Ensuring your passive server meets minimum hardware requirements
Symptoms
The data rate between the servers is very high during a Full System Check
The VMware channel drops
Resolution
The passive server does not meet the recommended hardware requirements for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat or it meets them but is much less powerful than the active server. The under powered server cannot apply the received replication data from the active server at the rate that the data is sent to the passive server.
For information about minimum hardware requirements, see your VMware vCenter Heartbeat documentation.
To avoid reinstalling your VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat solution, resolve this issue by upgrading the hardware, like memory or CPU, on the passive server. It is important to establish the identity (Primary or Secondary) of the affected server before you perform the upgrade.
