Select and Right Click on VM on which you want to configure Fault Tolerance.
Select Fault Tolerance > Turn On Fault Tolerance.
Step 2:
FT requires shared datastore so select the datastore which is to be used for secondary
VMs data.
Click Next.

Step 3:
Select the Host for Secondary VM. So that host will run FT secondary VM. Click Next.

Privacy - Terms
Step 4:
Review the configuration and click Finish to configure Fault Tolerance.

Once you click Finish you can see in the Recent Tasks FT Configuration has started:

Privacy - Terms
Once all the FT is configured successfully, You can see details of FT in the Summary
section of the Virtual Machine. You can easily identify FT VM by just looking at it,
because FT vm has dark color.

So As of Now we have successfully configure Fault Tolerance for the Virtual Machine.
Now you can Test the Fault Tolerance and do other FT related tasks such as Turn Off
FT, Suspend FT, Migrate Secondary VM, Test Failover, Test Restart Secondary by right
clicking FT VM:

Privacy - Terms
 Using Test Failover and Test Restart Secondary you can check the working of
Fault Tolerance you have configured. It will just take few seconds to test it.

So this is how you can configure Fault Tolerance on your most important
virtual machines which requires continuous availability with zero downtime.

How to Install vSphere Update Manager Step by
Step

Mayur Parmar   • August 12, 2017  0  5,587  2 minutes read

VMware vSphere Update Manager is an patching and

upgrade tool from VMware which allows IT Teams to
directly patch & upgrade their ESXi hosts with the step by
step process. Once you install vSphere Update Manager
you can check for the the patches or upgrades directly
from the vSphere
web client. vSphere Update Manager is directly integrated with vCenter Server.

vSphere Update Manager(VUM) will allow you to upgrade or patch ESXi hosts, Upgrade Virtual
Appliances, Upgrade VMware Tools & Upgrade
virtual machine hardware. In our previous post we have seen on vSphere Update manager overview so
now in this post we will see on how to install vSphere Update Manager step by step.

If you don’t know about vSphere Update Manager then check below link:
vSphere Update Manager Overview .

For Installing vSphere Update Manager you will find it’s installation option in the vCenter Server ISO file.

Step 1:
Mount the vCenter Server ISO file.
Select the Server in vSphere Update Manager.
Update Manager requires an database so if you have larger environment more then 5 hosts & 50 VM’s
then you need to go for the dedicated database server.

If you have small environment you can go for the Embedded Database which is SQL Server Express
2012.
Select the Embedded database & click Install.
Step 2:
Choose appropriate language & click OK to continue.

Step 3:
Click Next to start the Installation wizard.
Step 4:
Accept the end user license agreement & click Next.

Step 5:
Here you can specify whether you want to download updates directly after
installation or leave it blank. Click Next to continue.
Step 6:
Provide the vCenter Server information such as IP Address or Hostname of vCenter Server & Credentials of
vCenter Server.
Click Next.
Step 7:
Choose the vSphere Update Manager Server & Open the Ports which will be used by vSphere Update
Manager.
Click Next to continue.
Step 8:
Choose the Installation directory where you want to install the vSphere Update Manager.
Also provide the directory for Repository where the patches will be stored. (Make sure it is having an
120GB of free disk space.)
Click Next.

If the disk doesn’t have the sufficient space then you will get below warning. Click OK to continue.

Step 9:
Click Install to start the installation of vSphere Update Manager.
Installation will take few minutes to complete.

Once the Installation completed. you can click Finish to close the wizard. You can check for the Update

Manager plug in in the vSphere Web client.

That’s it we have successfully installed the vSphere Update Manager. In the upcoming posts we will see on
further configuration & how to patch or
upgrade the ESXi using vSphere Update Manager.

Step 1:
Login to vSphere Web Client. Select the vCenter Server.
Go to Configure Tab. Select vCenter HA. Click Configure button to setup.

Step 2:
Choose the configuration option either Basic or Advanced.
If you go for Basic then all the things will be done by the vCenter itself but if you go for Advanced then
you need to do the things manually.

It is recommended to go with Basic. Choose the Basic option. Click Next.

Step 3:
Provide the IP address & Subnet mask for the vCenter HA network. Make sure you don’t use
management network instead use the separate network. Select the vCenter HA Network Port group by
Browse.
Click Next.

Step 4:
Here you need to provide the vCenter HA IP addresses for Passive & Witness Nodes.
Click Next.
Step 5:
Here you can see the deployment configuration of Active, Passive & Witness nodes.
You can see the Location, Network & Storage.
Make sure that you keep Passive & Witness nodes on the different ESXi hosts & different storage. To do
this click on Edit button as shown.

Step 6:
Select the Datacenter and folder for the virtual machine store. Click Next.
Step 7:
Select the ESXi host to be used. Keep node on the different ESXi then the vCenter is currently running.
Click Next.

Step 8:
Select the storage for the node.
Keep all the 3 nodes on 3 different storage for availability. Click Next.
Step 9:
Set the correct Management network & vCenter HA network for the node. Click Next.

Step 10:
Review all the configuration & click Finish.

Step 11:
This we have done for the Passive node. Follow same for the Witness node setup.
Once you are done Check that all the 3 nodes are on different ESXi hosts & storage.
You might get the Compatibility warning just check it & confirm. Click Next.

Step 12:
Review all the configuration & click Finish to setup the vCenter HA.

Once you click Finish it will take few minutes depending on your configuration to setup the complete
vCenter HA cluster with Passive & Witness nodes. You can see in the recent tasks to see the progress.
You can see in the above image that we have successfully configured the VCHA for our vCenter Server.
HA is enabled. you can see the Active, Passive & Witness node details here and all are showing up &
green.

That’s it now you can easily configure the vCenter High Availability in your environment easily.

Checkout our Post on What is vCenter High Availability & how it works ?
