Using high availability, fault tolerance is
enabled on the ESXi host. When you
enable fault tolerance on the VM running
the Cisco CSR 1000v, a secondary VM on
another host in the cluster is created. If the
primary host goes down, then the VM on
the secondary host will take over as the
primary VM for the Cisco CSR 1000v.
