  • 1.  FT with Nested VM

    Posted Aug 21, 2009 08:22 AM

    Ive got 2 x Virtual vSphere servers running on top of vSphere, Ive created a virtual machine (2003 server with Vmware tools installed) and im trying to enable FT but getting the error about how the disk needs to be scrubed.

    When I shut down the VM and try to perform the enable FT to scrub the disk it gets to 28% and has a spaz, and I get a "Error occured" and does not complete.

    I have "replay.allowBTOnly= True" set

    Is there anything else im missing ?

    I suppose that you have follow all the instruction from this site:

    http://vinf.net/2009/06/07/vsphere-cannot-enable-ft-for-a-nested-vm/

    There is nothing else to do.

    Have you tried to activate FT on a power-off VM and then try to power-on?

    Yeah Ive tried to perform it with the machin powered ON and its gets to 90% and tells me that the disk needs to be scrubbed. So then I turn the VM off and try to enable FT, its during this time with the VM powered off the host the VM is registered to drops off and I get an error.

    My hardware is 100% compat, and im running out of ideas.. hmmm.

    Thanks for the link, I did look over this before I set off to set up FT with nested VM's.

    Is there any other way to manually SCRUB the disk ?
