Hi to all...
I would like tocreate aSQLAlways OnAcrossPhysicalHosts (ESXi and vCenter 5.5U2) (CAB, right?)
I readthese2kband I would likea clarification:
VMware KB: Microsoft Clustering on VMware vSphere: Guidelines for supported configurations (1037959)
VMware KB: MSCS support enhancements in vSphere 5.5 (2052238)
In the Notes (KB 1037959), under thetable, it says:
Microsoft Clustering Services (MSCS) virtual machines use a shared Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) bus. Any virtual machine using a shared bus cannot make hot changes to virtual machine hardware as this will disrupt the heartbeat between the MSCS nodes. These activities are not supported and will cause MSCS node failover:
- vMotion migration
- Increasing the size of disks
- Hot adding memory
- Hot adding CPU
- Using snapshots
- Pausing and/or resuming the virtual machine state
- Memory over-commitment leading to virtual swapping or memory ballooning
Thesenotes, are appliestoWFCSwithSharedDisk, orevenWFCSwithoutshareddisk?
In Table reads:
Microsoft Clustering on VMware | vSphere support | VMware HA support | vMotion DRS support | Storage vMotion support |
SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group | Yes | Yes1 | Yes | Yes |
Thanks to all for any clarifications?
