How to set up replication between virtual servers under VMWare ESXi 5.5.0?

Question

VMware

Hardware - Core i3/ 16 Gb/320 GbSeagate/1000 Mb LAN
Installed VMWare ESXi 5.5. 4 (Main-First, Main-Double, Office-First, Office-Double) MS Windows Server 2008 R2 Standart + Active Directory servers are raised on it
Conditions:
Main-First - the main server, distributes the Internet and manages several more servers, policies, users, etc. created from it, has access to the Internet through ZyWALL, the administrator of this server is Superadmin over everyone in general;
(Main-Double is its backup in case of failure);
Office-First - subnet server;
(Office-Double is its backup in case of failure);
Task:
Set up replication between servers in a square in both directions.
Office-First <-> Main-First
Main-First <-> Main-Doubl
Office-First <-> Office-Dubl
Office-Doubl <-> Main-Doubl Which
of them and how many network interfaces are needed to communicate with each other

Answer 1

The solution was found by itself: I was stupid and krivoruk =)
And if the cases, then everything turned out to be easy. To save time and nerves, my colleague and I decided to clone a clean virtual machine on which there was only Windows Server 2008 R2. Well, because of this, everything went further and did not go as it should. He spat on everything and re-installed four different cars from scratch. Now the replicas are configured between the necessary servers and everything works like clockwork (pah-pah-pah).

Answer 2

The question is not entirely clear.
If we are talking about AD replication, then one single correctly configured interface is enough, and the correct DNS setup will also be a prerequisite for replication. Such replication (if my memory serves me, with a 15-minute interval) is created automatically after all servers are placed in the role of a domain controller.
If we are talking about DFS replication, the situation is slightly different, but from the point of view of network interfaces, it is similar.
If we are talking about a windows cluster, then the servers will need, in addition to the main one, an additional interface allocated to a separate network, it will be multicasted for heartbeat traffic and replication traffic.
Or is the question not about that at all?

Answer 3

And if we are talking about vSphere Replication? Where can I find instructions in the great and mighty Russian language?
Task: The main office and the Data Center, it is necessary that in case of loss of connection with the data center, all services rise automatically in the main office and clients connect there, and when the connection is restored, the reverse switch takes place.
