vCD 5.5 vAPP and FT support

[maskham]

Hi,

I have a 1vCPU mission critical server which has a simple task of certificate management for over 20,000 external clients and is critical to business operations. The server

is hosted as a vAPP on vCloud 5.5 / vSphere 5.5. What i am trying to find out is can I enable FT and is it supported for vAPP's running in vCD. I have trolled everywhere

and cant find the answer any help would be greatly apprecited.

Hi Mark,

FT is an vCenter feature than an vCD

For mission critical app's, I would recommend to go ahead and create vCenter vM"s and enable FT/SRM.

If the vApp managed by vCD, answer is NO, you can't turn the FT on.

Thanks for the replies, agree, after further testing I discovered that FT want to change the reservations [memory] on the FT pri/sec and vCD doesn't like it as it also tries

to set limits based on the oRGvDC settings. I have gone with placing the VM in at the vCentre layer only.
