Hi,
I've just setup a small virtual infrastructure that consists of two hosts and one SAN. I've already installed the vCenterAppliance and I'm now trying to setup a cluster with "proactive HA". That is, if a host fails (e.g. power loss) I would like to restart the virtual machines on the other host.
To me it seems that this is not possible with the "essentials plus" license kit because:
- In order for the virtual machines to be restarted automatically on the other host I need proactive HA, right?
- If I want to enable proactive HA I also have to enable DRS (at least the web client tells me to do so)
- But DRS is of course not included in the essentials plus license kit.
Am I missing something or do we really have to buy new licenses?
In VSphere 4.1 (our old system) this was possible...
Thanks in Advance,
Raffael
