FT with Storage

[kimono]

Did any beta testers look at this aspect? FT is great, but not useful for site resilience unless storage is covered. Wondering if people tested FT with VMs that were mirrored with software mirroring at the guest OS level. Or, is there some new storage mirroring (VMFS mirroring?) that will take care of that now..

FT is essentially VMware HA without the VM restarting cold. It will give the same functionality as MSCS without the complexity.

If you have a need for full FT, then you would need to forgo FT at this time and use a replication product like Double-Take.

Important to remember that FT only can run on VMs wiht 1 vCPU. Which for me would be a deal breaker as all of my FT candidates would be multi-vCPU.
