Hi Team,
I have a quick question regarding Fault tolerance set up in vmware .
Scenario:
I have an environment with 22 servers and need to set up FT for it.
Requirement:
This application requires same IPs to be retained on both DCs \ clusters in vmware.
Plan to Implement:
1. Set up same same infrastructure in both clusters (this includes IPs, cpu, ram,storage etc.exactly same in both cluster). Lets call the clusters as DC-1 & DC-2. Then, shutdown the DC-2 to avoid IP conflict.
2. Set up active-passive fail-over
3. DC-1 will always be up and syncing the data between DC-2 (which will be in shutdown mode) all the time
4. If there is a host failure in DC-1, FT will bring up the passive cluster and vms will serve the data from there
Question:
Will the above scenario work?
Any suggestions to simplify or improve this design?
Any documentation that will guide me here?
Thanks alot in advance!.
