1. A method to maintain state information of a virtual machine in a virtualized computing environment through an externally-triggered approach, the method comprising:
detecting, by an external entity, that a first host from a cluster in the virtualized computing environment is disconnected from a first network connecting the first host to a distributed storage system accessible by the cluster; instructing, by the external entity via a second network that connects the first host with the external entity, the first host to suspend a virtual machine supported by the first host and to store state information associated with the virtual machine; selecting, by the external entity, a second host from the cluster; and instructing, by the external entity via the second network, the first host to migrate the suspended virtual machine to the second host such that the suspended virtual machine is able to resume from suspension on the second host based on the stored state information. |
