The amount of time can be broken down into two components. First is the failure detection time, currently 60 seconds, which is the amount of time before one node declares the other one down. Secondly is the resource takeover time, the amount of time that it takes to bring the partner's resources online. These include disks, networking, replaying the logs, starting the services for the partner (e.g. cifs). This amount of time is variable based on the load of the node doing the takeover and the configurations/resources of the down node. We are working actively to decrease both of these times in a future release. Steve Watanabe NetApp Cluster Group

If I have a clustered pair of 760s, how long does it take for one to take over in the event of a failure of the other?
Thanks. --jeff
