Correct, as once you stop the service you will stop the VIP as well.
... and this is IMHO not good for a fail over cluster! If I'm running a clustered HA SAN, I want to do everything (! LV expansion, RAID changes, adding LUNs ...) WITHOUT stopping the depending services (VMWare, XEN, Hyper-V, ...). This is the reason why I want to use 2 replicated/mirrored machines ...
I hope, open-e is working on this issue! It's really a great product, but these small things are very painful.
Is there any workaround for this virt. IP problem? Maybe MPIO with 2 NICs (one virtual, one physical)??
