I am not into Storage technology, but if I understand Vplex cluster uses Vplex witness which can be an appliance or just regular windows server, that will tell the Vplex cluster which Vplex Site node is Down, so that the Storage Vmotion will start on the other site.<br />
However it seems to me that Vplex Witness should have connection to both Sites in order to witness and report back the issue.<br />
So what if Vplex Witness goes down and one of the Sites goes down too at the same time ?<br />
<br />
Any clarification ?<br />
<br />
Thank you

Vplex Witness Redundancy

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
