What are the roles of a master host in vSphere HA?

  •  Monitoring the state of slave hosts. If a slave host fails or becomes unreachable, the master host identifies which virtual machines need to be restarted.
  •  Monitoring the power state of all protected virtual machines. If one virtual machine fails, the master host ensures that it is restarted. Using a local placement engine, the master host also determines where the restart should be done.
  • Managing the lists of cluster hosts and protected virtual machines.
  • Acting as vCenter Server management interface to the cluster and reporting the cluster health state.
