hi all.
i am confused about fault tolerance. i am wondering if you can answer my questions point by point
if i enable fault tolerance for A VM i will have a secondary VM in another host.
my questions are:
1) the files of the 2 VMs (primary and secondary) are seperated so they are not sharing the same files? in other words if the files of the primary VM are corrupted the second VM can take the load?
2)what if the operating system on the primary VM is corrupted the secondary virtual machine will not boot also?
for example
when i start the primary VM i will get for example windows NDR missing and black screen. the secondary VM operating system will stay running or
i will get the same situation as on the primary?
3) in fault tolerance everything running on the primary virtual machine is running also on the secondary virtual machine with a small delay
so if the primary VM get a virus the virus will run also on the secondary VM?
4) i read in some document that the 2 VM share the same files. if so
why when i create the secondary VM more space are taken on the DATA Store?
5) if they share files what is shared and what is not shared?
5)if what i said before about if an error occupred on the primary VM will occure also on the secondary one is true so where is the importance of fault tolerance? i am not getting in what it can protect the VM
thanks in advance because i am not finding answers to my questions
