Simplistic failover test for Virtual Centre
Hello all, I am due to do a test of bringing Virtual Centre up in a second location in the event the first had a major issue. I think I may have missed a step or 2 and was wondering if someone could advise me on my plan below.
Virtual Centre is running on Windows 2008 Server R2 within a VM Guest. VMware infrastructure is ESXi 4.1.
Backend database is on SQL 2008 on another VM Guest.
Have a secondary SQL 2008 VM Guest configured on secondary site with SQL mirroring for the VC Database.
My simple plan was to install Virtual Centre onto a VM Guest at secondary site and point it to the mirrored copy of the database sitting on already configured SQL server.
Having some thoughts though as to what implications there maybe due to the change in Server name for the Virtual Centre guest. Is there anything else I may have missed. It suddenly just seems to simple for this to work easily.
Regards
H
