I have a virtual machine which is hosting a website. I created an 'Availability Set' and added it to it. I then cloned the virtual machine's vhd and created a second virtual machine using the cloned vhd and added it to the Availability Set for the original. I started the new machine, it seems to be running correctly and appears to be a clone of the original. Also, when I go to the 'Configure' page for either of these two machines, both machines show up in the Availability Set list.
However, if I shut down the original machine, my website is no longer accessible. Isn't the point of the Availability Sets to make the second VM available if the first one fails.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks.
