      @Pete-S said in Windows Server licensing for HA?:

      If you have two servers and run HA, does that mean that you have to license Windows Server standard for the maximum number of VMs running when you have a failure?

      So for example,
      Server A: 16 cores, runs 6 VMs normally
      Server B: 16 cores, runs 6 VMs normally

      So each server has to be licensed for all 12 VMs running on 16 cores - so 6 x Windows Server Standard licenses for each server, total of 12 licenses?

      But if you didn't run HA, you would only license each server for 6 VMs, with 3 x Windows Server Standard, a total of 6 licenses?

      Is this correct?

      Yup.

      If you're running a HA setup of Server Standard, all physical servers must be licensed for all Windows Server VMs that can run on them. This means each physical server in your HA cluster must be licensed for 12 Windows Server VMs.

      So yes, you are correct in that to license 12 Windows Server VMs on both of your physical servers, you'll need 6x Windows Server Standard licenses for each server, 12 "licenses" total as you said.

      We use DNS health checks for this, Route53 and CLoudFlare have this but it comes at a n additional cost.

      @jaredbusch said in Nginx Active-Passive HA:

      @NashBrydges side question. If you setup the .well-known to work correctly, why do you then need the HA? because nginx will never be down except for the momentary reload after the certs are updated.

      That certainly addresses the biggest concern about a long downtime during the renewall process for a high number of certs and probably addresses most concerns with this client. He's already running Veeam replication to a second box so his RTO and RPO are relatively short and within his business tolerance.

      Having said that, it's a great learning opportunity for me to set this up in my lab, if for no other reason than to try it and see how it works.

      Certainly no reason not to do it for a lab. and for a proxy with as much as it sounds like you have in production, it will still be a likely good solution.

      Good read and it explains very clearly what split-brain is, and how to prevent it in simple enough terms.

      I've had to explain many times myself what split-brain is and ways to prevent it. I just get starred at. . .

      @mlnews

      Thread resurrected !!!

      I see, interesting . Regarding Ovirt + GLusterFs my update on this is that did learn glustering and it was easy to perform. I didnt apply it in production or VMs. I did use Ovirt a month ago and it was very slow web ui experience.

      I should write a thread about my and Gluster.
