How is this thing connected: is it iSCSI or SAS?

The kernel should take care of that. If the computer hangs or
crashes, there won't be heartbeat and, after a successful fencing
operation (you do have a stonith device, right?), a failover will
occur. You can also configure a watchdog. Or did I misunderstand
your question?

It's been a long time since I used that. How can one monitor
dm-multipath? Isn't it fault tolerant?
