We have a hyper-v HA cluster which hosts around 70 Windows VM's across 5 nodes. We store the VM's on a supermicro server with a lot of SSD drives in and a Windows OS, these are replicated using Veeam to another supermicro server with a similar number of SSD drives.
We'd like to make the SAN HA by live replicating all the data across both SANs continuisly, so if SAN A goes down, SAN B will take over
I understand there's a lot of software options available, some open source, some free, and others very expensive. We do want high reliability, we also don't want something too complicated or time consuming to maintain, but can this be achieved on a small budget/free?
I'd appreciate any advice from others who have managed to build a similar SAN HA set up in a production environment
