The only downside from an availability perspective is that CIFS connection drops during a failover, whereas a link change in an ifgrp is transparent to CIFS. Of course this is a non-issue for NFS, at least for v3.

Interesting thread....
A peer suggested recently that in cDOT failover groups could be used instead of ifgrps for availability. It was suggested as it simplifies the configuration (don't have ifgrps and failover groups) and means a LIF can failover to any port in the cluster (depending on type of LIF of course) rather than just the ports on the node.
Not considering throughput has anyone else heard of or considered this configuration?
Thanks Martin
