Unfortunately, one of the things we don't automatically trigger a failover on in our first Clustered Failover release will be a "normal" interface link failure (OTOH, if a NIC fries its PCI slot, we will failover). Using a Cisco Fast EtherChannel across at least two interfaces would be a nice way to protect yourself from a single interface failure on a filer.
We were hit by an interface link failures once last year. What options are there or will there be (either with or without Clustered Failover) to offer failover or redundancy for failed interfaces?
I'm especially concerned about this as we plan to transition from one or two quad fast ethernet cards on each filer to one or two gigabit ethernet cards per filer.
Thanks.
