5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Perfect, thanks for confirming @Nupur.Sakhalkar Hopefully we wont need to get to that, and we’ll get on top of the decommissioning. But re-assuring to know no functionality will be lost, just in case. Thanks!
I think the only way you'd be able to use the migrated VM's would be to create a new manual pool on the DR side & manually add the recovered VM's to it. We've got a similar requirement (2 sites, active/active), but instead of using Async, we use MetroAvailablity. This means while we have 2 seperate NTNX clusters, we have a single vSphere cluster, so no problems with View not knowing about VM's whichever site they're running from... Obviously this has some additional overheads (you need a good WAN link, we've got Dark Fibre at ~1.5ms latency) plus makes managing the VM's a bit more difficult (you [i]can't[/i] do linked clones on non-metro datastores as View will not show a datastore if all hosts can't see it); but for us the overall solution works out great.
Currently piloting our new VDI infrastructure... We've had the NTNX clusters for over a year, but constant struggles with UniDesk & Windows 10 compatibility has slowed things down... We've now dropped UniDesk from this project & instead using Full Clone VM's, on a NTNX Metro Cluster for Active/Active support across our 2 primary sites. Today is day 1 of the staff pilot & looking good so far, though we only have a limited number of users.
Awesome, that post from Stephane is exactly the one I had come across previously. Thanks! As for the driver behind Metro for VDI; its a direction from our CIO following previous instances of hardware failure taking out our production site. The goal is to move to a full Active/Active solution for all infrastructure; reducing RPO & RTO across the board and having provisions for seemlessly migrating all processing to either site without any downtime.
