https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/i64-nic-redundancy/m-p/3954187#M53980 Does anyone know if the I64/OpenVMS supports NIC redundancy transparently?<BR />I think Tru64 supports this and that it there is known as NetRAIN.<BR />Linux on Intel Pro/100S NIC's supports this. Intel calls it "adaptive fault tolerance". Basically what I am after is system support for one IP for 2 or more NICs such that each and every end applications need not worry at the application level about fail over from one network path gone bad to a backup path.<BR /> Thu, 01 Mar 2007 18:36:36 GMT Claus Olesen 2007-03-01T18:36:36Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/i64-nic-redundancy/m-p/3954187#M53980 Does anyone know if the I64/OpenVMS supports NIC redundancy transparently?<BR />I think Tru64 supports this and that it there is known as NetRAIN.<BR />Linux on Intel Pro/100S NIC's supports this.

For true redundancy, you'll also want redundant network equipment.<BR /><BR />LAN Failover tends to provide slightly faster failover, but ties up multiple NICs. FailSAFE IP can provide better bandwidth if that's an issue. <BR /><BR />Andy Thu, 01 Mar 2007 19:05:03 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/i64-nic-redundancy/m-p/3954188#M53981 Andy Bustamante 2007-03-01T19:05:03Z
