Hello.

Also, check out http://communities.vmware.com/blogs/vmroyale/2009/05/18/vmware-fault-tolerance-requirements-and-limi...

I've started updating it for vSphere 5.0.

It is a great solution, but it might not always work with every workload.

Good Luck!

Also be aware with the new vRAM licensing model, a FT virtual machine is charged for both nodes so a 32GB vm in FT mode will use up 64GB of vRAM.  That's the equivalent of 1 Enterprise license.
