vCenter High Availability (vCenter HA) protects vCenter Server against host and hardware failures. The active-passive architecture of the solution can also help you reduce downtime significantly when you patch vCenter Server.

	vCenter HA Host (Cluster Member)	name key type ipv4_addr   ipv6_addr instance_id status description

If we find a Host then we link them together using a SoftwareService relationship with the Host taking the part of the Service and the Cluster Member taking the part of the ServiceHost. This relationship has a specific type 'vCenter HA Host' assigned to it.

The pattern has been tested against the live installations on VMware vCenter Appliance platforms.
