Hi!Is it possible to reserve a virtual machine using VMware, then if something happens to the deployment host, the machine moves to another one. Yes, there will be a break, but then it will start on another host. Are there any restrictions on this?
The auto-start of a new VM on another host needs to be handled by something in VMware....vCenter?
As for a vThunder, you would obviously loose all your in-flight connections that they would have to be re-established. If you use Flexpool licensing, the "new" vThunder would need to be configured after starting to go get its license from the Flexpool before it could begin operation.
All of this is possible, but would require some automation to achieve it. Some sort of CI/CD system using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to hold the vThunder configuration and install it would need to be used.
