FT requiring absolutely no configuration of the Guest OS or the in-guest software. It offers zero downtime, zero data loss, there is no temporary TCP disconnections.įT is complete transparent to guest OS, which don't know that is actually mirrored and that there is another (shadow) VM following in vlockstep few milliseconds behind what's happening in the protected VM.įT protects VM, which survive server failures. One of them is a very cool VMworld session about Fault tolerance showing the possibility to configure 16 vCPU in a VM to be protected by Fault Tolerance.įault Tolerance, as you probably know provides continuous availability.

I've listed on my VMworld 2013 page many free VMworld sessions. But limitations to 1vCPU VMs and other limitations concerning backups were factors that this feature is not widely uses, even if the configuration at the vSphere level is minimal.įor the use cases that needs 16 vCPU in a VM that's certainly, but only VMs that really needs that number of vCPU orhterwise you'll waste CPU cycles. How cool it is to have 16vCPU in a VM for Fault Tolerance? I remember when first introduced, FT had the same magic as vMotion.

Your virtual appliance deployment must have a minimum of two vCPUs and a standard license to support the vSphere FT feature. You can use vSphere FT in mission-critical scenarios. You must enable or disable vSphere FT for the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA from your vCenter Server.Īfter you enable vSphere FT, you will not notice any delays in the operations, and you do not need to plan for downtime. The VMware vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT) feature provides high availability (HA) at a higher level and enables you to protect virtual machines without any loss of data or connections.
