Can i use CloudStack and vSphere (vmware) without HA ? like on KVM In general, CloudStack would not manage HA for VMware vSphere (as vmware has this feature built in). I would recommend disabling CloudStack HA in favor in native VMware HA to avoid any race conditions. You can also disable HA in global settings to make sure it never kicks in. The service offering that is created to be used - must have HA support checked off..

By using local storage, you are forgoing the HA - no matter what technology you choose to use. I have a some VMware zones with this setup i've been running for at least 3 years, so i can attest it works well. One thing to consider, and you can check for release docs, 4.5 has a partial support for vDS Networking. Later releases may have complete vDS network support. However, if you dont really care about vDS, CloudStack will manage the portgroups and vswitches, i'd suggest you start off with ACS 4.5 see how it works. ACS 4.6 and 4.7 may work as well or better, but i've yet to try it in production. Lastly, make sure you get the cloudstack "noredist" build - which contains the support for vmware and other proprietary techlogies. ShapeBlue hosted CloudStack Repos have the VMware support built into their RPMs. Regards, ilya > > > Regards, > Cristian >
