Hi,
I am new to the Vmware technology and I am trying to setup a lab for training.
Right now I have the following machines running under Workstation 9.0 :
- 1 Domain Controller (with DNS)
- 1 SQL Server
- 1 vCenter Server
- 2 ESXi hosts (running a couple guests to test HA or vMotion...)
I followed a tutorial found on the web to set that up.
My question is : is it possible to run the DC, the SQL server and the vCenter under the ESXi hosts ? I ask because I thought it would be nice to have those 3 machines using HA in case of failure ?
What are the best practices designing a datacenter ? Is the DC mandatory, or could you just run the ESXi machines ?
Hope this is clear enough, let me know if you need clarifications !!
Thanks lots
Julien
