One quick note, (I've been politely reminded by our product manager that <g>) our first Clustered Failover release will not support Cisco Fast EtherChannel or other port trunking solutions. So in the short-term
you'll
have to decide if you want automated network interface failure protection
or
automated CPU / RAM / PCI failure protection.
"Short-term" == "we're going to implement failover using FEC sooner or later?"
yes/no?
Yes. Our goal is to eventually support FEC during a failover. I have no idea what timeframe we are targeting for releasing that functionality.
