Experience VMware Fault Tolerance with Central Services/SRM for Appl Servs?

[Former Member]

Hello all, I am looking for real-life experience of VMware Fault Tolerance enabled for SAP Central Services (ABAP/Java). FT is valid only for 1 vCPU VM's, therefor a probable good match with CS. Tips & trics are welcome.

If SRM is available, is it worthwhile to use it for protecting Application Servers in a dual datacenter? That way, the full capacity is guaranteed even after a disaster (resources should be available of course in the surviving DC).

So, are the VMware features like SRM and FT actually being used to protect SAP environments, and if yes, to any satisfaction?

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Roland
