Hi all,
I wonder to know if there is a simple and easy infrastructure to achieve this universal goal. Building a simple and robust Vcenter V6 architecture.
The main objective is to share all services and data between to nodes (active / active or active / passive).
Heartbeat has been discontinued, so what is the correct path to achieve this ?
After reading a lot of litterature on PSC and VC, i am surprised by the complexity of these new architectures. https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2108548
In order to avoid a single point of failure we need 2 PSC and 2 VC and in some case an additionnal load balancer....!!!
I guess if we build 2 VC then we get 2 databases and 2 datacenter ! Then its difficult to manage vms and hosts if they are on the failed vcenter
I want to do that with V6 appliance and i prefer to avoid MSCS and stuff like that to minor complexity.
This guide https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/VMware-vCenter-Server-6-0-Availability-Guide.pdf explain different scenarios but all are involving HA or MCSC.
Is there another solution ? Do you know a good step by step or pdf guide ?
Thanks for your help and advices.
Regards
R
