I don't think that I understand what the client side failover
of Solaris was being used for in this configuration. If the
server is truly HA, then shouldn't the NFS service be able to
failover from one server to the next with minimal interruption
on the clients?
The Solaris client side failover required relooking up all
file handles which referred to the dead server, so it wasn't
cheap either.
Thanx...
