FT almost

Thought I had a chance to deploy FT in the wild. Was pretty excited since this is 1 of the cool VMware features you never use in production. The customer wanted to protect against guest OS failure and for whatever reason my addled brain thought FT protected against hardware failure & guest OS failure (I blame the heatwave).

I actually got to deploy this in the wild a couple of weeks ago. A customer wanted higher availability for their web site, so we installed a two node cluster with VMware's VSA storage appliance running in their colo. We tested out FT on a test VM and it worked as expected. The customer is currently configuring a new LAMP VM using only 1 vCPU and then we'll copy his web site data and cutover to the new cluster once completed.

We were running a print server VM with FT, but we needed more CPU so we had to turn it off.
