Hi,

Many thanks for the swift response. I have looked through this document and it does not really answer the question. All of the scenarios are based upon servers being disconnected from the network. In my scenario i have in effect two seperate switch stacks, one in each building. My question is what would happen if the interlink between the switches went down. In other words, none of the servers would lose their LAN connection. Would i be correct in saying that the state of the two unity servers would not change, so we would lose VM at the secondary server side.

Thanks

It sounds like you have two Unity servers at two sites but not in a failover configuration.

If you are in failover then the primary would be servicing both buildings. If the primary goes down then the secondary picks up vm for both buildings.

I do not understand this.

so we would lose VM at the secondary server side.

why would you if failover is setup right.

Hi,

The unity servers are in standby failover so you are correct that under normal circumstances the primary server services both buildings. My question is, what if the LAN connection between the two buildings went down, (not a server failure or server NIC connection) would the building with the secondary server lose VM? Or would both servers become active.

Thanks

Randy,

Many thanks for your time on this, we have exactly the same set up you. I am very pleased to have your import before i do DR testing of the whole system.

Many Thanks.

send me an email and I can help offline if you run into any issues.

We do a major DR test every year.

Thanks Randy
