- штатно гасим первую ноду – видим ноду и все подключения на ней

- поднимаем ноду, видим ее в САПе, видим

- выключаем виртуальную машину со второй нодой и проверяем что она поднялась

- запускаем sgen в фоновом режиме

- запускаем транзакцию по заведению пользователю

- выключаем ноду – внешних проявлений нет

- смотрим журнал – видим что было переподключение

- включаем ноду

- роняем вторую ноду

- видим что слетело фоновое задание

если пользователь активно работает, то пользователь увидит отмену своей транзакции

sgen и двигаем 2 ноды через vMotion – и видим что все хорошо в САПе
