Hi

We also have a similar situation in my current project where we are planning to have SQL MSCS on ESX. The main purpose of MSCS is for hardware failures which can be offset by VMWare HA. But what about guest OS related issues? If the OS of a standalone/cluster node VM is corrupted unexpectedly and went into BSOD, then how to recover that particular VM?

One alternative I know is VMWare FT for standalone VMs. But I also heard VMWare FT is slower in recovering VMs than MSCS? Is that true?

Please suggest whether to go for VMWare FT or MSCS for guest failures??
