Hi All,
This will be my first post but I need some help. Im fairly familiar with VmWare and we use it in a small business environment.
I'm having trouble finding any decent instructions of how to setup a VmWare failover-cluster.
We have 2 identical ESXi hosts and run all our VM's on one of it. Now we want to improve availibility by using the 2nd ESXi host as a failover - should the primary one go down.
I've labbed around a bit and found it was very easy to setup a real cluster to make the ESXi's share resources and run the VM's from our SAN.
What are the requirements to setup a failover beween primary and secondary esxi?
(doesn't have to be a complete step-by-step but some points would be gladly apreciated)
Is it better to make a cluster of them with a shared resource pool?
Can this be setup while ESXi's are Live and powered on?
