there are more and more implementations of distributed-virtualisation. A common one is Microsoft SCVMM.
Currently, such things are kept inside LANs, and a san or fiber-channel system is used for fault-tolerance (It often store VM’s RAM with realtime update). Given that a part of the data need very high band-width network storage, I’m aware it would require a special and high-cost contract with the ISP.
The point of my question is : Given that there is some part of allocation by range, is it possible for virtual machines running inside a such infrastructure to get an accessible public IP address?
If yes, would it be also possible with IPV6?
Answer
I think you have some fundamental gaps in your understanding of how virtual machines work:
- Distributed virtualisation? What? SCVMM/vSphere are not distributed virtualistion, they are just virtualisation managers.
- Your comments about FC are irrelevant to your actual question?
- Yes, virtual machines can and often do get non RFC-1918 IP addresses that are routable on the internet.
- Apart from link-local addresses, there’s not really any such thing as a non-routable IPv6 IP address. So yes, of course it can get a routable IPv6 address
