• You can install vCenter as a virtual machine with fault tolerance

  The benefits of having vCenter as a virtual machine are features such as HA and snapshots, is there a problem with having a fault tolerance enabled on a virtual machine that is the vCenter server to manage fault tolerance?

  He couldn't see in the documentation for fault tolerance limits

  Well...

  vCenter lists 2 CPUs as required and FT only works with one...

• NEITHER 9852 communication with fault tolerant CAN materials

  Hello

  I have a cRio 9074 and recently bought a module NI 9852 2-port low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN.

  It's my first attempt at network comms in cRio and I realized that none of the devices with that I want to communicate are immune to failures and fault-tolerant physical layer requires different endings to 'normal' high speed MAY (immediately after I broke the seal on the box, of course!)

  Is it possible that I can configure the physical layer for this configuration to work reliably (alebit to)< 125="" kbps="" and="" with="" no="" fault="">

  Kind regards

  Chris

  I'm sorry. The low speed / transceivers and breakdown-tolerant high speed MAY use different communication protocols.

  HS CAN is recessive when CANH and CANL are both to nominally under 2, 5V. It is dominant when CANH is 3.5V and CANL is 1, 5V.

  LS CAN is recessive when CANH is a CHANNEL and 0V to 5V. It is dominant when CANH is 3.6V and CANL is 1.4V.

  You can see that they are almost the same for the dominant, but different for recessive. In addition, the sequence of end between two buses is different. For a HS-bus, you usually resistance 120 ohm between CANH and CANL at both ends of your bus.  A bus of the LS, you have a terminating resistor separate for CANH and CANL (for RTH and RTL).

• On R2 2012 Windows fault tolerance

  We had a problem with fault tolerance.

  We tried to use a Windows Server 2012 R2 for FT, but when they tried to activate it on the virtual machine; 1 vCPU is allowed.

  It does not have a configuration of 2 or 4 vCPU.

  Probably you have already tried it, but you use the Web Client?

  The FT for more than 1 CPU is something you can do only by using the web client.

• Protect both virtual machines with features of ESXI fault tolerant clustered disk

  Hello world

  I read the following:

  VMware vSphere with operations management: fault tolerance | United States

  The line that interests me is:

  "VMware vSphere® fault tolerance (FT) ensures the continued availability of the applications in the event of server failure by creating an instance of live snapshots of a virtual machine that is always up to date with the first virtual machine. In the event of hardware failure, vSphere FT triggers automatically failover - ensure no interruption of service and prevent data loss. »

  Question:

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  No, you can't, because there is an incompatibility with FT.

  Refer to the documentation for all requirements and interoperability: interoperability of fault tolerance

• SAN with VMware Fault Tolerance storage redundancy

  We built a new data center, with the idea in mind to use VMware Fault Tolerance to create a virtual environment without service interruption between two data centers.  The goal is to have the VMs to continue to operate even with the loss of access to an entire datacenter, including SAN storage units.

  I'm looking for a way for a vSphere 4 virtual infrastructure to be able to write to storage replicated in two different datacenters (with low latency of connections between data centers).  We can do with the networks and host servers, but I found nothing in the documentation of tolerance to failures to mention something else 'shared storage' we have experienced a failure of the individual units of SAN storage (including total loss of hundreds of virtual machines) and hope that we can eliminate the unit of storage as a single point of failure.

  Someone did he do it, or how it could be done?

  Hello

  In order to clarify what idle-jam talks about, you can watch this video of HP and VMware on YouTube.

• Fault tolerance with an ESX host and two NFS storage pools

  Is it possible to have a fault with the tolerant pair tolerance fault running on the same ESX host, but each partner of a couple running on a separate NFS share?

  N ° you will need:

  2 ESX host

  1 x shared storage

  1 x THICKNESS VMDK provisioned.

  In your case, it's completely the opposite.

• Impossible to enable Fault Tolerance on a cluster of ESXi 4.1

  Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what I may have missed in the attempt of activation FT on our VM vcentre?

  The Setup is a cluster of 3 nodes Dell R610 (record identical machine) with an iSCSI SAN, licenses are Enterprise

  VCentre VM runs on this cluster and I would allow to FT.

  Cluster goes on Site 2.5.2 brilliantly, all green ticks and not a red cross. VCentre VM disk has been eager to zero cloned, CD/disks removed, only uses 1 vCPU

  When I try to activate FT I get an error "the VM runs in a monitor mode that is not compatible to the fault tolerance", which is breathtaking in its usefulness

  Any ideas where to go from here? Is there a more detailed log than that presented in the gui VI who can point me in the right direction?

  See KB 1036775 for instructions on changing the mode of monitoring.  For the compatibility of fault tolerance, you want to 'use Intel VT-X/AMD-V for the instruction set virtualization and software for MMU virtualization.'

• SAN multisite and VMware Fault Tolerance

  Hello

  My apologies if this is in the wrong section.

  I have a requirement for the two main rooms, with SAN and ESX hosts in each room.

  In total I have, for the sake of arguments, 200 VMS, with a split 50-50, so 100 in each room Basic.

  I want to use VMware of fault tolerance for machines remain operational in the event of a major failure or the other room Basic.

  I think I can use Multisite SAN to do.

  Please see attached diagram fo what I want to do, I know that the diagram is not correct but I drew it fast just to try to explain the scenario.

  What I want to know (or have help on) is:

  Is it possible to use fault tolerance in this way have no downtime in the result of a failure of basic room? (basic rooms are not very remote and use the same networks)

  How does multi-site SAN work, are there articles I can read to help me understand this?

  Multisite perhaps SAN iSCSI or fibrechannel?

  Thank you.

  SAN should resemble a single San for all ESXes. It doesn't matter how you do it.

  > If I my synchronous SAN mirror, might simply use FT for the vcenter as well?

  It is possible for the small environment. In general, vCenter requires 2 vCPU, while FT works for uniprocessor VMs only. But do not overestimate FT, it is not a universal solution and the universal answer.

  > Also with FT, can you specify the server host in the cluster to act as the secondary?

  Directly - no. The only way - to create link VM to any resource that is available for 2 ESXes only.

• 6.0 Update 01 vSphere fault tolerance

  Hello everyone,

  I have a problem whene I activate Fault Tolerance on dv01.

  It is the configuration of my physics

  • 2 ESXi 06 update01 build 3073146
  • 1 cluster HA active
    • Ordered admission disabled
    • Disabled DRS
  • 1 with port configuration of vMotion group vDS
  • 1 starndar vSwitch for Fault Tolerance with 2 x Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X 520 - T2 10 Gbps
  • e

  Dv01 Config

  • 4 vCPU
  • 3 ramdisk stored a first shared data store datastore01 1.35 to:
    • Reset Eager 136 GB Thik provisioning
    • 500 GB Thik provisioning eager to zero
    • 600 GB Thik provisioning eager to zero
  • connected to the port vDS group 1 VMXNet3 network adapter
  • latest VMware tools installed
  • Guest OS Windows Server

  When activated the fault tolerance, I chose the ESXi02 and second datastore02 shared data store 1.28 at: the vmdk and vmx file is created successfully and I free 44Go on the datastore02 of a second.

  But whene I try to turn on this dv01 I have this error

  • vCenter car not power on the secondary VM
  • and whene I look on the event, the error is not "enough space for the secondary virtual machine."

  Can someone help me, please to fix this whene I enabled FT on litle VM02 with 1 thin vdisk, is working but for dv01 is not work

  THX in advance

  Best regards

  Hi DZinit,

  The computation of the space you need on the second data store, you take the file vswp into account. This will generate enough to on and be equal to the size of RAM allocated to the VM.

• Windows for the issue of fault tolerance

  I counted on 4 virtual machines running in a fault-tolerant environment.

  I'm reading that I should get 2, Windows server 2008 R2 Ent. licenses because they are counted as separate servers (even if they are just redundent).

  Is this true?

  Do you mean 4 virtual machines protected with VMware Fault tolerance (FT) or using HA to protect an ESXi host failure?

  Windows Enterprise gets you 4 total licenses for virtual machines but it is authorized by the ESXi host. So if you have two hosts of ESXi, you would need two copies of Windows Enterprise to protect the 4. VMs data center total is something much better, if you plan to have more than 4 VMs.

• Fault tolerant on VMware linked clone Desktop

  Hello

  someone may answer whether it is possible to enable fault tolerance on linked clone VM to a master, through composer.

  Client wants to protect in this way, hundreds of virtual office, I thought about using a channel 10 gigabit for the communication of FT logging, that think u dou everything?

  Thank you very much

  First off it is only recommended to have 4 FT running for each host, so would need you 25 hosts make 100 mV.

  Secondly, I am sure that this is taken care with view.

  Thirdly, also sure FT requires full VMs, clones and unrelated, so your cost of SAN will rocket sky.

  Fourth and this is my favorite, it is exteremly high Windows going down until your host blocks (ESX breaks down).  FT no help even in this situation as if OS1 block him operating system on the other server will crash at the same time.

  FT is designed for mission critical Server VM, not of VDI.

• Heartbeat vs Fault Tolerance

  In my environment, we have a single server vCenter Server (4.0) running in a virtual machine in a HA / DRS cluster.

  My question is: if my license level includes the fault tolerance, couldn't accomplish the same protection of my vCenter server using FT instead of heart rate? I realize that Heartbeat is more likely for installations with MORE than a vCenter, but given that I only have one, I'm I right in thinking this?

  Just think...

  Hello.

  There is a good discussion about the use of FT for vCenter here.

  Good luck!

• What can we fault-tolerant?

  Hello

  We have a vSphere ESX Server with 7 virtual machines running in production on a Proliant DL380 server environment.

  Now, I would buy a second DL380 Server a vSpehre of a second license to create a fault tolerance with two servers. So if the vSphere Server1 falls down, second Server2 catches up with the work of Server1.

  Should which product I have for this scenario? Should we the server vCenter to do this? And if so, I'll have to buy a third server only for vCenter?

  Hello

  that you read here

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  for pi, you must finally advanced editing.

  Then you Norman to have a license for every host ESX and vcenter advanced editing.
