This seems to be High Availability day! I was just testing my previous blog when I discovered a weird DNS or host file related error. So I opened up my console and typed “vi /etc/FT_HOSTS”. “vi” opened a blank file and reported back “new file”. What the heck, so I did a find and found that the FT_HOSTS file has been relocated to: /etc/opt/vmware/aam/. So if you’re looking for FT_HOSTS….
And for ESXi, you should be looking here “/var/run/vmware/aam/” by the way.
Look at this: http://communities.vmware.com/message/975714;jsessionid=5382202164DB57830FDA784454A476B9
hi !
it is quite strange since I made the update to 3.5.2 yesterday and I didn’t see this change ! i checked this out today to make a response on VMTN and I saw FT_HOSTS on /etc ???
sheers,

On Update 1, the FT_HOSTS file is located in /etc/opt/vmware/aam/. directory too..
[root@whocares root]# vmware -v
VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build-82663
[root@whocares root]# find /etc -iname FT_*
