When running Forescout components as VM s on vSphere, it is recommended to leverage the existing features on the vSphere cluster that provide HA and DR capabilities. For instance, DRS automatically migrate s the Forescout VMs to a separate host if the current ESXi host fails. More information on about how to leverage vSphere HA and DR capabilities , see the High availability overview and DR overview sections.
In the two-node deployment scenario, where features such as DRS and vSphere HA are unavailable, itis essential to ensure network visibility remains intact during failover events. To achieve this, each ABB ZEE600 Runtime instance should be accompanied by a corresponding eyeInspect Passive Sensor on the same ESXi host. This deployment strategy guarantees the continuity of network monitoring and analysis.
For each eyeInspect Passive Sensor, a designated port-mirror configuration is necessary. You can find detailed instructions on how to set up a port mirroring session for the eyeInspect Passive Sensor in the System Design chapter.
