FT not working

Hi,

I am setting up a vSphere lab environment which consists of two ESXi hosts and a free nas storage VM,  deployed on a VMware workstation.

While trying to configure FT I am getting errors. Haven't anybody tested FT in such an  environment ? I have been told by somebody that FT doesn't work in a workstation lab environment. Is that  correct ?

Regards

Cyril

Welcome to the Community,

I didn't do this with Free NAS as shared storage, but nested Fault Tolerance is basically possible with some limitations though (e.g. only 32-bit FT guests).

What kind of errors do you see, and how did you configure the environment so far?

See http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-nested-vft-virtual-fault.html for some guidelines on fault tolerance in a nested environment.
