It appears to be a SPoF for the I/O bay. <A href="http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11849_div/11849_div.HTML#Technical%20Specifications" target="_blank">http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11849_div/11849_div.HTML#Technical%20Specifications</A><BR /><BR /> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:33:08 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/integrity-servers/rx8620-pci-power-module-failure/m-p/4497321#M5554 TTr 2009-09-14T23:33:08Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/integrity-servers/rx8620-pci-power-module-failure/m-p/4497322#M5555 Thanks, that is exactly what I needed. Looks like I need to look in to having Service Guard not only fail over between nodes but also between nPar's.

Do you have any reading material to support the statement? Have you had real life experiance with it?

The cluster will not be removed. But the system should have failed to a degraded state.<BR /><BR />Service Guard did fail over properly to the other node.
