OnApp OpenE Active/Passive Failover SAN Hardware

[kellogs]

When setting up Active / Standby unit of open-e using volume replication over 10G local link (inter connect), is there any option on the Open-E for Virtual IP?

The VM would be connecting to the ISCI initiator on virtual IP

So i would expect only active open-e san broadcast the ARP but once failover, the peer unit would take over the IP address by broadcasting its mac address for it.

Anyone has experience on how Open-e works?

Yes, you can assign the VIP.

Correct.

Correct again, the passive node will take over all resources.

With over 25,000 installs, i would say YES!
