LTM and ESX Cluster between DCs
Hi,
we have twin DCs (active/active) with only one ESX cluster between DCs. I was thinking of using the best practice design of having 1 GTM and 2 LTM in each DC.
My question is if we have ...
The LTM will afford you many more options and granularity for health check types to best determine health of pool members than GTM will. Your GTM will only be responsible for providing resolution for the FQDNs and directing traffic to the proper LTM. It'll be up to the LTM to determine which servers within your ESX environment to send traffic to. You could use just the GTMs to provide DNS resolution and load balancing, but you'd have fewer options.
