Hi all,
A bit of a strange one, but maybe someone has thought about it before!
I have a customer with a need for zero downtime desktops. Desktop OS are supported with FT, so the combination of this with View brokering the connection has come up as a strange but interesting idea. The actual broker isn't critical, so if anything like View, XenDesktop, vWorkspace etc. could get this working it would be pretty useful.
I don't have access to FT capable hardware to test right now, so wondering if anyone has any insights as to whether this might work?
I guess the core of the questions comes down to how the FT enabled VMs are "referenced" by vCenter - is it a single VM that we could add to a manual View pool (probably with user persistence), or are the primary and secondary FT vms seen by vCenter / the external APIs as seperate instances? For example, XenDesktop adds info to the annotations field of the managed VM that is critical to operation. Is this info constant accross both VMs in an FT pair?
Any help, thoughts, pointers would be greatly appreciated :smileyblush:
Steve
