Configure an anti-affinity rule and virtual machine group for a clustered Workspace ONE Access instance in VMware Aria Automation

If your VMware Aria Automation environment uses a clustered Workspace ONE Access instance, you can create an anti-affinity rule and machine cluster to ensure proper vSphere High Availability workflow.

To protect any clustered Workspace ONE Access nodes from a host-level failure, you can configure an anti-affinity rule to run virtual machines that exist on different hosts in the default vSphere management cluster. To define the desired machine start-up order, create an anti-affinity rule to configure a virtual machine group. By using a defined machine start-up order, you can ensure that vSphere High Availability powers on the clustered Workspace ONE Access nodes in the correct order.
