We are currently in the process of setting up a new VMWare environment which is now only in lab phase. We are studying the possibility to have a vCenter cluster with an active and a standby/mirrored/whatever... vCenter, this is with the VCSA alternative.
The idea is that we are likely to do scripting using vCenter webservices so we would like to avoid single point of faillure by having a redundant setup. Basically we want our vCenter to be reachable all the time.
Unfortunately, we can't do linked-mode due to lack of ADAM support and putting SRM with dual vcenter in place seems a bit too much, especially since I want to manage only 1 vCenter. I also looked at the disk replication feature and that would work except that the recovery vm won't auto-boot the vm in case of crash (as far as I know).
So, I'm seaking advices from you experts on what's the easiest way to do a VCSA redundant setup.
Thanks in advance :)
