It always was an offering. At one time Nexenta had it in their product, as a plugin called Simple-HA. It was neither simple, nor HA. When SNDR was developed, the max disk size was rapidly approaching 9GB. Trying to use it for 1TB is very painful, and > 2TB is, IMNSHO, insane. High-Availability.com has SmartOS support in their RSF-1 product. This is more of a traditional failover HA solution. It is always better to implement high availability closer to the application. This is the approach Joyent takes and it is, ultimately, the best solution. -- richard ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
