    1. PCG says:

      Okay, I have to correct myself. I deployed a vCenter HA configuration to check this and the common running services in active, passive and witness nodes are the following:
      – vmware-vcha
      – vmware-vmon

      A and D are correct.

    vmware-vmon-> life cycle PSC (X)
    vmare-rbd-watchdog -> Just for autodeploy (X)
    vmware-postgress-> embedded DB
    vmware-vcha -> services of HA

    Correct is B&D

    Agree with A & D

    VMON is the parent process for many services, this is required by the VCSA regardless of HA and can be used to start and stop other services as well as reporting/restarting failed services.

    VCHA is the HA service, can’t exactly use HA without it…

    The following has a great breakdown of the services and there are a few clues scattered about including a screenshot showing the rdb-watchdog is not required

    The image from interzoid is the real kicker as well as the tests by a few others.

    So I believe I have found an article that points to the answer:
    Not a VMWare published article but still has good info:
    https://hciandmore.com/2017/11/28/vcenter-high-availability-vcha/

    “What services will run on Active node, Passive node and witness.

    Active node: All vCenter services

    Passive node: only vmware-statsmonitor, vmware-vcha, vmware-vmon, vmware-vpostgres , vcetner services will be stopped.

    Witness node: only vmware-statsmonitor, vmware-vcha, vmware-vmon.”
