Anyone have one working? I want a card that has two nics and fails open. That way if Astaro crashes, powers off, or has hardware issues, I can get out.
Hi, FYI, we have an IPS (Proventia from IBM nee ISS) which claims full pass-thru, but in fact it goes offline during reboots, etc., so I don't have much faith in the idea. Besides, you'd have to have a router or reconfigure your network.
How about a second box setup in case the primary one dies?
The custom hardware appliances we use have that capability built into the hardware (as does some if not all of the ASG appliances), but I believe you have to have a watchdog daemon installed that is used to detect when the system locks up; that woudl involve modifying the ASG software which would violate your support agreement, if you are running a commercial install.
I like Barry's Idea better.
