My company is evaluating LeftHand for our SAN and I'm trying to setup a demo for non technical users to show high availability. I've downloaded the VSA appliance and placed 2 copies of it in our ESX Server. VSA-1 and VSA-2. I've created a small 1Gb volume and placed a movie on it. My goal is to just play the movie for them and then show disconnecting one of the VSA's network connection and have it still play.
While I've got the volume running, both nodes in a management group, a virtual IP address and 2-way replication on the volume. Whenever I disconnect the network connection on either VSA, the iSCSI volume drops and the video stops.
I see in the licensed features that it says "Not licensed for Multi-node virtualization and clustering (in violation because of Virtual Manager)" I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it or its possibly something else I'm missing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

In case of a site failure you need a majority of managers to keep running.
You now have a cluster of 2 nodes = 2 managers.
For manual fail over you can start the Virtual Manager or
for automatic failover you need to download the Fail Over Manager (FOM) from the LeftHand site.
This is a VSA with no disks.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
