Imagine 2 servers afred with each other. On the client side you<br>
configure HA translator with its subvols as the afrs on the two<br>
servers. (Previously we used DNS round robin system) If 1st server<br>
goes down, the HA translator will continue working with the second afr<br>
and this failover happens seamlessly.<br>

If server1 goes down, the HA will continue operating using its<br>
connection with AFR2.<br>
<br>
Was this clear?<br>

Very clear, thank you. :)<br>
<br>
I am curious to know how the client decides which of the subvols to use at any given time, and if there is a way to specify a "preferred" subvol. For example, i have two servers AFR'ing each other. I have two clients set up to access the AFR cluster via HA. For reasons of resource distribution, i would like Client01 to prefer to use Server01, and Client02 to prefer to use Server02.</blockquote>
<div><br>currently HA does not provide facility for specifying this option. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
I took a peek through the (rc3) code for HA translator, but i didn't see any GF_OPTION_* declarations. Likewise, the Translators_options page on the Wiki doesn't contain anything for HA.<br>
<br>
Is this possible ?</blockquote><div><br>yes, it is possible to provide this option in future.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
