Has anyone tried a replica node in a secondary datacenter? I have it up and running in my test environment and it seems to work. HA failover takes 3-5 minutes for the replica node to come online. I watched a webinar on vROps last week and they said that the replica node should be in the same physical facility as the master node. However, we have a 1gig network link to our secondary datacenter that is going to be upgraded to a 10gig link soon. Thoughts?
Second question: is there a best practices guide for vROps yet?
