Yes I’ve heard of FT and no I don’t think it’s designed to replace HA. Fault Tolerance (FT) (formerly known as continuous availability) is more of a hot online DR type solution whereas HA is a limited downtime solution where VMs are recovered in the same Datacenter.

Did you hear about VMware FT? 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?

I put my domain controller and VirtualCenter VM’s on a Windows host running VMware Server instead. The Windows host is not a member of a domain. I have a backup domain controller on the ESX datacenter.

It all runs quite well and is relatively easy to back up.
