I haven't had a chance to try it out (we're still on ESX), but in the new vSphere there's a "Fault Tolerance" feature available that keeps a "live shadow" on a second physical server and switches to that in the event of a failure of the system it was originally running on. Basically sounds like a vMotion that's intentionally hung at the last step before final migration and kept there. -- Eric Eisenhart <*[email protected]> IRC: freiheit; often on #lopsa AIM: falsch freiheit Jabber/XMPP/GTalk: [email protected] http://eric.eisenhart.name/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
