The concern here is all about vNetwork and DvS, what if the vCenter is part of the Dvs, and vCenter failed, or the host which the vCenter runs on failed, the answer is no access to DvS because the vCenter is not available. I believe with vCenter MSCS running separated on each host, DvS will be available as long as the vCenter shutdown/not available. hi rbrambley,

Although a MSCS config seems to cover making the VCenter highly available,
the issue is really what virtual networking switch and portgroup the VCenter
connects to. In your case, what both VCenter nodes connect to. I’m not sure
this accounts for the problem I was trying to point out.

Don't you think this will solve the issue? hello,

what about vCenter in MSCS each node sets in the local datastore of the esx server? and have the SQL DB inside a vmdk.

Don’t you think this will solve the issue?
