WVD Session Host High Availability
zimmie I was reading through documentation the other day and I THINK that is all correct. The VM's are in AV Sets to start, but you are NOT getting zone redundancy with the VMs. If you need to protect the VM's like that you may be looking at doing something like Azure Site Recovery or Cross Regional Backups.
With Regards to the profile containers, I am not sure what NetApp files is doing for HA and regional recovery, I have not looked into it. The Azure files has some protections and if you have Geo-Redundant enabled then at least your data is made available in a MSFT declared disaster in the paired region. Lastly, if you go the route of a File Share server, I believe most people are going with 2 servers and using storage spaces direct. I know that shared disks in Azure was announced a little bit ago, so perhaps clustered storage is also usable? I am just not sure what limitations that introduces in Azure. I do believe some people were having success with DFS, I have not, so i just use name spaces but not syncing.
Happy to help 🙂
Still not getting whether Host Pool is multi-regional or not. Hosts may be located in different regions, that is clear but if the host region is down whether or not the host object will be alive itself? Will VMs be able to connect to the pool and be available to the client?
KChomakov0001 Hi, did you ever found a solution?
We had the scenario. Azure backend did not work anymore. Our running WVD showed failed in the Portal, force up for users, some VM‘s needed to be set in Drain mode so sign was at least possible on few VM‘s. PS and CLI did not work either. Took MS forever to fix this. Was not a good. Thanks
