* * * 共享存储访问的服务器主机的 CPU、内存和其他资源放在共享池中。VMware HA 产品将虚拟机重启自动化，所以它从位于资源池中的其他服务器主机而不是刚刚停机的主机处获取资源。由于硬件故障而失去一台 VMware ESX 主机并不会演化为一场灾难性事件，而仅仅意味着可用的资源池减少了。在群集中失去一台主机只会使资源减少，而不会失去虚拟机。VMware HA 会检测到故障主机，管理重新分配资源，并在另一台 VMware ESX 主机上重新启动故障主机的虚拟机。VMware HA 易于使用，可以为虚拟机中运行的应用程序提供经济高效的高可用性。 不需要专门的备用硬件，也不需要集成其他软件，就可以将停机时间和 IT 服务中断时间降到最低程度。VMware HA 可以实现 IT 环境的高可用性，而且避免了单一操作系统或特定于应用程序的故障切换解决方案带来的成本和复杂性。 * VMware Fault Tolerance is a component of VMware vSphere? that ensures continuous availability for virtual machines against hardware failures. VMware FT creates virtual machine “pairs” that run in lock step - essentially mirroring the execution state of a VM. To the external world they appear as one instance (one IP address, one application) – but they are fully redundant instances. In the event of an unexpected hardware failure that causes the active, primary VM to fail – a secondary, formerly passive VM immediately picks up where the primary left off, and continues to run, uninterrupted, and without any loss of network connections or transactions. This technology will also work across any application any OS without modifications, without scripting, and provides a much more cost-effective way of running mission critical workloads than fault-tolerant hardware dedicated entirely to individual applications. At VMware, we say that “virtual is better than physical” very frequently, and our advanced development work on providing continuous availability for VMs – to enable VMs to keep executing, completely uninterrupted by unexpected hardware failures - is one of the great examples of why this is true. We have taken technology implemented with very complex custom hardware and delivered it for commodity x86 hardware. We believe this technology, and all of the other business continuity benefits of virtualization will drive more and more mission critical workloads into virtual machines because they can enable HIGHER levels of availability, at a fraction of the cost complexity of
