VMWare and High Availability

http://windows2008.informedcio.com/2008/01/05/vmware-and-high-availability.aspx


Virtualization is one of the most exciting technologies in the computer industry at the moment. The reason for this is quite simple. Most servers run at a very low level of resource utilization. Virtualization allows companies to consolidate physical servers into virtual ones thus reducing their overall hardware expenditures and simplifying overall system administration. This article will focus on one of the aspect of simplifying system administration, that being high-availability.

Stupid Video, HA does support the fact that the machine stays running, and never goes down, this video is the opposite of what HA does/can be!

@cloutiersi I was going to say the same thing...you suspended the VM, migrated it to another node, then started the VM. This is normal use. HA is being able to move the VM in the up state without losing connectivity and any running applications.

Having to pause the vm to move it isn't high availability.
