HA Cluster over WAN

[benma]

Hey folks,

i have to build a HA Cluster over a MPLS WAN and darkfiber link.

SRM is not a option. You guys have any experience?

Thanks for your help!

I do not think it would work with a simple VMware HA

at least consider replication on the storage level

Yeap, sure there will be a SAN-Replication.

So both active at the same time? Or synchronous replication and one copy is "read" while the other is read/write? In this case you would need to keep in mind that you will access a LUN via the FC link between the sites in worst case. This will mean a lot of data traffic. Is your environment set up for this?

Hey Duncan,

first thanks for your reply. Both sites should be active.

There will be a dark fiber connection between both sites

for SAN rep and ESX, Server communication. Users user

connect to the VMs via MPLS.

Have you build such a environment?
