I know iSCSI auto failover is pretty much ready. Any idea how long we'll be waiting for the NAS version? I realize it's maybe a bit more complicated, I have a home rolled drbd/Heartbeat 2 cluster on running on Debian. Thing is I'm the only one administrating it and I love the Open-E management interface, more of my techs can handle the storage systems. A lot of us are using NFS for VM as well as NAS file serving CIFS etc.
NAS Auto Failover has been pushed further to a later date due to engineering tasks that has exceeded in to the 200+ requests - we will need more time before I can inform the best ETA.
We know that this is a high priority but also it is very complicated with all the other associated features with the NAS side (Snapshot, Auth., Backup, AntiVirus and all the protocols and more).
If i had 2 open-e servers can i replicate (in real time) from one server to the other and in case of one failing manually switch over until you have the NAS failover sorted, would this work?
