vCenter HA option

Did some research on the internet, according to it those are the things that makes sense to consider if you want to have vCenter redundacy (without 3rd party solutions):

1. Put it on a VM that is a part of the VMHA cluster

2. Use linked mode for vCenter

That's a theory. I'm courious what would be the best thing to do. Any other ideas as to how to achieve the redundancy?

Place the vCenter VM on a HA cluster is a good option to have it available almost always.

I don't see how linked mode would help on redundancy of vCenter... it should be used as a facility to operate several vCenter Servers... are you thinking in replicate your vCenter server with all your hosts?

I'll put it on HA then.

BTW - is vCenter cluster-aware? (ms cluster)
