I understand it is a difficult feature...but to me it seems as a basic requirement...You can't run primary storage on a SAN that isn't redundant. Reading the features list and the manual I also can't find any failover options for nfs / cifs...those two aren't really hard to implement.
We build NAS solutions for ourselves using DRBD for replicating and Heartbeat + Stonith for the failover...pretty easy setup...
The manual procedure could be an option to get online again quickly...but in the mean time all my iscsi connections get killed and all virtual machines are killed as well...
I guess I'll have to wait for the failover version then...
If possible I would like to (beta) test the (iSCSI) failover version...
We provide the beta versions on our FTP site located in the Engineering phase directory. Usually our resellers test these but you have access to this as well. When testing send all information and results to support@open-e.com. Please keep in mind though we have so many responses that we can get overwhelmed with reports and really don’t want to advertise this to much for obvious reasons. So keep an eye on it!!
