    We're undergoing an enterprise consolidation and virtualisation project at the moment, and I currently have an external consultant proposing to replace our physical, clustered SQL Servers, with non-clustered VM's where the high availability is provided by VMWare HA.

    Does anyone have a view on this? Any serious pitfalls / constraints to take into consideration?

    Thanks in advance.

    I believe that would mean you only have failover at the host level, not individual virtual servers.
