In addition to this, v5.5 is already out of support, so in case there's an issue (with, or without HA configuration), your basically alone.</P><P>Although you are asking for v5.5, I'd suggest that you rather consider upgrading to v6.5, which comes with integrated vCenter HA (in the vCSA).</P><P>If an upgrade is currently not al option, make sure that you do regular backups. In addition to this, storage based snapshots (if available) may also be an option for a fast recovery.</P><P></P><P>André</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 07 Oct 2018 13:21:28 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vCenter-Discussions/what-s-the-best-scenario-for-vCenter-5-5-redundancy/m-p/1413321#M20401 a_p_ 2018-10-07T13:21:28Z
