While building a VMware View environment one of the design requirements is keeping
vCenter and View Composer always available. Which solution can be utilized to achieve
this?
A.
vCenter Server Heartbeat
B.
vSphere HA
C.
vSphere FT
D.
Host Based Replication
A only if View Composer is installed on the vCenter Server.
vCenter Heartbeat is however discontinued since 2014, however support remains in palce till 2018. Host based replication is about Unix/Linux HA , vSphere FT goes a long way if you’d limit your VMs to 1vCPU. HA only accommodates for a host failure.
So on A,B,C some restrictions apply. Only A with the condition stipulated has the highest chances to survive about anything (can run on 2 virtuals, 1 virtual & 1 physical vCenter)
I’m still at doubt C using vSphere FT wouldn’t be the less conditional assumption
