I am currently looking for a way to make vcenter highly available. Every single time vcenter has fails it has been an application error or windows shitting itself and making the VM unusable, so every time I have had to reinstall and begin from scratch. I am looking to make it HA as in one VM fails and the other one takes over, not as in 2 hosts and then have the VM switch host. I am not at all worried about hardware failure.
I have been looking into ways to do this but I have not found a lot of information about it. Unfortunately 1 ESXI host can not be managed by 2 vcenter servers, otherwise I would have been done already. The one thing that I have found that I think I can figure out is using Microsoft clustering (MSCS), but there is barely any documentation or proper guides on how to make it work. So I was wondering if anyone knows any alternative ways to achieve what I want to do or if anyone has any proper start to finish guides.
