Yes all VIPs are in their own vlan and the esx hosts can ping all VIP's, unfortunately we can remove it all and ad back as it is in production. We cant afford to test the auto failover in case it freezes some servers again. It has happened both times we had an auto failover, also when we performed manual failover to perfrom updates
Any chance you can send us the log files from your User Portal so we can look at the setup or if there are any issues that we can identify? If using Fiber Channel we dont have Auto Failover for Active Passive with Virtual IPs. We will have this in our JovianDSS product later this year.
