StoreVirtual Failover Ping Loss

[Scott Smith_7]

Hello,

We have serveral HP StoreVirtual SAN nodes in our environment.  We have been doing some DR testing with a 2 node cluster.  When we pull power on the node that is holding the VIP we experience a 4 ping loss while the VIP is trasfered (I guess?) to the other node.  When we pull power on the non-VIP node, we do not experience any ping loss.  We do have a FOM VM running in this cluster.

Has anyone experienced this and is there any way to reduce the ping loss if the VIP holder fails?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

need more info.

are you using vmware or hyper-v?

If hyper-v, are you using the HP DSM?

If vmware...  you are pretty much stuck until they release a DSM for vmware to better handle MPIO.  In the meantime, there may be an iSCSI path timeout function you can tweak to speed the failover up or a setting to tweak to ensure that LUNs don't fail when a delay happens during a failover event.
