This is just a from own experience with Virtual Machine Replication & Failover with VMWare Server & Debian Etch (4.0) The script /etc/ha.d/resource.d/vmstart needs to be chmod to 777 to run. so maybe add a line to the howto that says you have to: chmod 777 /etc/ha.d/resource.d/vmstart
Jep, I checked my ha-log and had this error: ERROR: Cannot locate resource script vmstart The file permissions when I created the vmstart was 644, tried 744 but in the end found this howto which said 777 http://www.scribd.com/doc/2052637/Serveur-de-virtualisation-en-haute-disponibilite-sous-Debian- So I went with that, I might be wrong, but its working now, only problem now is when running vmware I get these errors: rtc: lost some interrupts at 4096Hz. But that seems to be due to HPET_EMULATE_RTC not being ON in the kernel, so I'm of to compile my own might start a thread on that soon.
