Hi,

I am new for Virtualization hence I would like to test the all the feature of ESX before go for production.

Here is my scenario

I am having a single box with AMD Quad processor and 8GB of RAM & 260GB of SATA HDD.

I have installed Workstation6.5 latest build. In my test environment I created five VM’s listed below

VM1 --- Windows2003 DC with Virtual center2.5

VM2 ---Windows2003 SQL Server for VM Database

VM3 ---ESX3.5 with Update 4

VM4 ---ESX3.5 with Update 4

VM5 ---Open filer for ISCSI

I have done the installation and I tested normal functionality of ESX. I am able to create VM & run the VM inside the ESX server.

But I am not able to test the V Motion in this testing can anyone help how to configure & test the HA & fault tolerance

dhan,

Do you see VMotion in under your Licensed Features in vCenter? Can you see the iSCSI storage you set up via VM5? Do your VMs running on VM3/VM4 see the same shared storage? Have you setup a VMkernel port for VMotion under Networking? Can VM3 ping VM4?

FT is only supported on vSphere 4.

FT setup is described here:
