Video: ApplicationHA – Install and Configure

I’ve just recorded a real cool video which shows you how to install and configure ApplicationHA. This new product from Symantec and VMware is able to monitor applications within the virtual machine. I’ve uploaded a High Definition version of the video to ScreenCast but you can also watch the video at Vimeo or YouTube.

Symantec ApplicationHA is an easy-to-use availability solution for virtual environments that provides application visibility and control. It is based on the industry-leading Veritas Cluster Server technology and provides application availability in coordination with VMware HA. Together Symantec and VMware work to help customers move business-critical applications into VMware virtual machines.

Nice new feature, but is what you showed in the video all it can do? Just monitor a windows service/process, in that case i don't really see the enterprise use for this as this should be the task of you primary monitoring application, in example SCOM already does this... When i first saw the name ApplicationHA i expected more of a cluster like feature, with automatic/manual failover to a standby virtual machine... More like, VCENTER SERVER 01 bluescreened, ApplicationHA detects this and then powers up VENTER SERVER 02 to solve this,

Thanks for sharing! Looks like it is somewhere in between VMware HA and physical clustering. It monitor apps like physical clustering, but it uses 1 VM like VMware HA. Is my understanding correct? From Symantec.com, it said "Visibility and control of multi-tier applications running across physical and virtual machines as well as across operating systems". How does it do multi-tier and physical machine? Many thanks from Singapore e1

Thanks for this ! During the video we see you enter credentials that are relevant to the VM you want to apply ApplicationHA to. What kind of rights are required for this account ?
