Hi Vmware,
I am running into an Issue with fault tolerance.
Whenever I turn on fault tolerance on a machine that has windows server 2016 installed, I eventually get a timeout error.
I have a seperate vMotion stack and was able to ping between the hosts continually between the hosts (10.10.0.X/24)
I have a seperate Fault Tolerance Logging NIC. And was also able to ping between the hosts continually. (172.16.10.X/24)
Both the links are 1 Gbit. I was told that this shouldn't be a problem.
Ping Commands:
ping -S vmotion 10.10.0.202 -c 1000
ping 172.16.10.202 -c 1000
Image for error reference and pings:
VM Specs:
2vCPU's tried 1 aswell no difference.
4GB ram
tried different sizes of vDisk issue persists.
Setup at the moment:
vCenter 6.7 running on a separate Machine (Windows) Evaluation License
2x ESXI 6.7 hosts both identical with 2x 6130 xeon golds and 128gb ram
Storage is shared using a MSA2050 directly attached SAS cables.
I do have a dedicated 1gbit nic for FT and Vmotion. I noticed recommended is 10Gbit but I cannot even get the VM to boot. I was told I should just get an Bandwith error if its a bandwith problem.
