VMware Fault Tolerance possible Tests


I have been thinking about how I can test my Fault Tolerance machines. But I can't seem to come with a proper test.

How can I possibly calculate the time it took for VMware to switch from the primary virtual machine to the secondary one?


Solution

  • Ping the VM and kill the host where the primary runs, how many pings do you loose? This should give you a feeling for the time it takes vSphere to switch from the primary virtual machine to the secondary.
