What good is clustering if you have to do that? =)

Yes, I hope open-e will fix that issues ASAP, but in the meantime this is the only possibility. It's not without downtime, but with only a very short outage (going to save state, failover, recover from save state = only a few seconds ...). Without DSS failover the maintenance windows would be much longer ...

There are some solutions that you can try:

I'm still testing on Win 2008 with MPIO and failover too - so I of course am going to test as well.

Actually, let's tighten that first link up a bit http://sustainablesharepoint.wordpre...-v-with-iscsi/

Wow, great information! Planning on putting in a dss box via iscsi this summer for several hyper-v servers, this is the stuff I want to know about! HA and failover are not on the radar for us for this implementation but it is something I want to strive for.
