 ## Voraussetzungen
 
-- Sie verfügen über eine [Hosted Private Cloud](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/enterprise/products/hosted-private-cloud/) Infrastruktur.
+- Sie verfügen über eine [Hosted Private Cloud](/links/hosted-private-cloud/vmware) Infrastruktur.
 
 ## In der praktischen Anwendung
 
 ### Lieferung eines Ersatz-Hosts
 
-Wenn einer Ihrer Hosts ausfällt, liefern wir Ihnen automatisch und kostenfrei einen Ersatz-Host in Ihre Infrastruktur, um die Dienstkontinuität zu gewährleisten. 
+Wenn einer Ihrer Hosts ausfällt, liefern wir Ihnen automatisch und kostenfrei einen Ersatz-Host in Ihre Infrastruktur, um die Dienstkontinuität zu gewährleisten.
 
 Sofort nach Lieferung dieses Hosts erhalten Sie eine E-Mail mit allen Informationen zu diesem Host. Sie erhalten auch seine IP-Adresse, mit der Sie ihn leicht in Ihrem vSphere Interface finden können.
 
-Standardmäßig ist der Dienst HA ([High Availability](/pages/hosted_private_cloud/hosted_private_cloud_powered_by_vmware/vmware_ha_high_availability)) von VMware für Ihren Cluster aktiviert. Wenn Sie Ihn aktiviert lassen, werden Ihre virtuellen Maschinen automatisch neu gestartet. Ist der Dienst DRS (Distributed Ressources Scheduler) aktiviert und im Modus „fully automated“, so findet die Lastverteilung zwischen den Hosts Ihres Clusters ebenfalls automatisch statt.

-### Vorgehensweise nach Erhalt des Ersatz-Host
-
-Wenn der Original-Host wieder funktioniert (nach der Reparatur), können Sie einen der beiden Hosts (Original oder Ersatz) an uns zurückgeben.
+### Vorgehensweise nach Erhalt des Ersatz-Hosts
 
 Wir empfehlen Ihnen, uns den Original-Host zurückzugeben, damit wir ihn nach dieser Störung einer Reihe von Tests unterziehen (und so zukünftige Störungen vermeiden) können. Sie können dann den Ersatz-Host behalten. Dazu können Sie die Anleitung [Host-Server löschen](/pages/hosted_private_cloud/hosted_private_cloud_powered_by_vmware/delete_host) zu Rate ziehen.
 
-OVHcloud kann dann automatisch den Original-Host zurücknehmen, sobald er entfernt ist.
+> [!warning]
+> 
+> Im Falle der Nichtrückgabe eines der beiden Hosts (Original oder Ersatz) innerhalb einer Frist von 7 Tagen wird der Ersatz-Host ab dem 8. Tag stundenweise abgerechnet.
