[...] I showed how the architecture behind VMware vSphere clustering is so robust that even a remote virtual machine console remains connected as a VM migrates with VMotion from one host to another. VMware vSphere is designed from the [...]

Yep, it just works and it’s quite boring. Thanks for reading, gentlemen.

Back when we first rolled out our Virtual Infrastructure, I did a live demo for most of my co-workers. Part of my demo was VMotion. I connected to a VM via RDP, VMotioned it to another ESX host, and showed everyone how it stayed connected.

In my demo, I made a point of telling everyone how boring VMotion is. And then I made the point that we WANT it to be boring. “It just works,” right? When features “just work,” they aren’t very exciting to watch … but that’s okay. Boring can be a good thing, if it means that the technology is solid, stable, and mature.

I tried this already on our infrastructure. Just great.

The same happens when you RDP to vCenter server VM being vmotioned…

It just works…. That’s the way we want Virtualization systems being designed. Thanks to point this out Eric.
