 Virtual machine failover
Failover, Live Migration, Microsoft virtualization, Microsoft Virtualization Chat 5/14, nodes, Virtual Exchange Server, Virtual Machines, Virtual SQL Server
So in a failover from a failed node, no data is lost there is just a longer interruption in service compared to live migration. Does the guest know anything happened or does it continue on as if nothing happened? Anything special for a virtual SQL or Exchange server in a failover scenario?
