You get more clustering on VMware!

Posted by Steve Chambers Dec 6, 2008 2:36:43 AM

Not only do you get built-in clustering with VMware with High Availability, which now clusters at the VM level not just the host level, but you can run other clustering products on VMware. Check out:

 

 

 

There's something missing, though... who can write up a Veritas Cluster practice - I worked on one of those three years ago, but I don't have my notes...

Well I can write document about Veritas Cluster and Veritas Volume Manager but its not proven practice since I dont have x86 architecture licence for Storage Foundation only for SPARC architecture but I guess it would be same as on SPARC (Solaris 9 was last distribution I setuped Veritas on)

Has anybody come up or started a Veritas Cluster Guide on ESX? Clustering VMs with Veritas in either the same ESX host or on different host that is. If not, I can contribute the guide using SFW 4.3 and SFW 5.1 on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008.

 

Any takers? I will start working on it as soon as somebody confirms nobody else is working on one. I would hate to duplicate efforts.

Mike,

 

I already started the guide for clustering Windows 2008 VMs using SFW HA 5.1. It will be online in a little while. Will let you know when it comes out.
