It's not easy, no. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, exactly, it may be possible doing a cluster failover and giveback, though. It's not really supported, especially for customers, but professional services still has a few tricks up their sleeves. I don't mean to take away anything from Isilon -- they have a really cool system with a lot of advanced functionality, and you can get a tremendous amount of performance out of them. I wish they had better snapshots functionality, but that's not really their priority market anyway. The way you can set up different file-level replication (RAID-ish) protections at the directory level is nifty, too. -Adam _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
