Before we are able to test FT, we need an FT enabled virtual machine. After confirming that all the pre-requisites for FT are in place, you can then protect a…
Where vSphere HA will restart a virtual machine in the event of a host failure, vSphere Fault Tolerance goes a step further in that it provides continuous availability for virtual…
When you are working out host failure requirements for a ESXi cluster, it is important to account for the combined resource utilisation of the virtual machines that are to run…
In the course of writing articles covering the VCAP-DCA objectives, I’ve used a number of examples of how PowerCLI can be used instead of carrying out tasks using the vSphere…
