I have a new environment I'm designing. The plan is to have two VSphere host running 5.1. Each host will have multiple servers that require HA. I plan to have an extra Buffalo Storage Server. Here are my questions.
In order for HA utilizing Vmotion, will I need to store the VM's datastore on the storage server? Or would the data store be on the host that houses the VM and then if that host goes down it would copy over?
How many NIC's would I need per server for HA? I'm counting at least 3. One for network traffic, management, and SAN. Any I'm missing?
