Blogcast: Virtual Server 2005 R2 Host Clustering Walkthrough
Monday, 28 November 2005 by Michel Roth
The blogcast walks you through the environment John Howard created and demonstrates both planned and unplanned downtime. Host Clustering allows two types of failover for guests running on Virtual Server hosts: Planned and Unplanned downtime.

Planned downtime is where you want to take one node of a cluster offline for some reason - patching, disk failure etc, but want your users to continue working throughout this. Hence, you move the guests from one node to another.

Unplanned downtime is where there is a catastrophic error of some kind, and similarly, you want to ensure that the guest operating system remains available.
