It will not replace HA as it is a different concept of HA. Current HA is to prevent Host failure but moving forward, the FT will also provide the additional coverage on VM level to prevent data lost during the VM failure. We will post more when the next version of ESX is official release. This features will only release in the next major version upgrade. It will not replace HA as it is a different concept of HA.

I just read a bit about it on http://www.virtualizationteam.com/virtualization-vmware/vmware-esx-40-ft-fault-tolerant-sneak-peek.html Would u think that would replace VMware HA? I had seen a video even of FT on that link. Is it available yet? Did you hear about VMware FT?

It start showing the corrupt after a few days which it stop functioning on the update manager and follow by the virtual center. Hopefully it does not happen to your case but VMware had issue this solution as is not only myself facing this issues.

On all of the updates I started from the autorun.exe file. From reading the kb articles etc if you do not use the autorun.exe file then not everything is updated. However the UM plugin unloading still happens on atleast two customers and it is so damn annoying!!!!!! Keep up the articles Cheers David Hi

But the funny thing is, I install on the vitual center server with the client and plugin, I had not experienced the plugin unload, but my team who try to log in remotely and utilize that, they had experience unloading the plugin most of the time.

I have even pointed some of my counterparts in Malaysia to your user group. keep up the good work! I think the Native drivers helped (but not stopped) the problem we were having with the vum plugin frequently unloading from virtual center as well. since switching the DSN over to native I have only experienced one drop.

My experience is I reconfigure the Native client connection in the ODBC again and select the specify DB name it point to the virtual center and update manager both. Yes, I am running on SQL 2005 sp2.
