Thanks again Karl! Yes, it should work. My understanding is that the failov=
er should be agnostic to the guest OS but there could be some integration c=
omponent that we might have missed. So it would be good to get to the botto=
m of this.=0A=

Hi,=0A=
=0A=
Manual fail-over appears to work OK - in order, I tested:=0A=
=0A=
 - Live migration from one node to the other, and back again (worked)=0A=
=0A=
 - Stopping the cluster service on one of the nodes (i.e. from Failover=0A=
Cluster Manager) - this showed the VM moving from the node that was=0A=
stopped, over to the other node (again worked).=0A=
=0A=
 - Pulling the power on the active node hosting both VM's (i.e. Windows=0A=
guest, and FreeBSD guest) - this showed the remaining node trying to bring=
=0A=
up the VM's (of which Windows came up OK, and FreeBSD got corrupted).=0A=
=0A=
=0A=
I've had to stop now as the guy here looking after the Synology kit on the=
=0A=
test network is applying a firmware update (this is apparently for some=0A=
appletalk issue or something).=0A=
=0A=
I'll re-run the test after this has been done - if it still fails, I'll=0A=
come back with a 'how to reproduce' type report (and I'll obviously let you=
=0A=
know if we can't reproduce it again!).=0A=
=0A=
At least I know it 'should' work now :)=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
