It’s a small network, but for redundancy, I have 2 Domain Controllers on separate hosts. The secondary DC is useful when I’m rebooting and making changes to the main server.
Could I effectively get rid of the secondary DC and instead use vMotion or vSphere HA to achieve the same results? So if the DC goes down on Host1 (controlled, or through fault etc) an exact replica takes over on Host2 with no loss of service?
Host1 is ESXi 6.7U2 with DC1 VM (Windows Server 2019), vCentre Server Appliance VM, OmniOS storage VM and lots of other VMs.
Host2 is ESXi 6.5U2 with DC2 VM & OmniOS storage VM.
(all VMs are version 6.5 to allow me to move them from Host1 to 2, if required)
