But is it necessary for you to get every update for a Failover Solution in your scenario? I assume if those boxes are locked up in a data center, without access to the Internet you could live very long with those kind of solution. Or buy Solaris 10 Licences and Sun Cluster 3.3 If its necessary for your business you should think about it. >> For the future You may have a look onto >> http://www.illumos.org/projects/ihac > > hmm, no release date .. > >> The other Alternative could be the FreeBSD HAST Project as you mentioned. > > HAST is only for create a mirror, what we don't need, 'cause the nodes > have access to all disks at the same time, through the SAS HBA. > > Also the ZFS Version is bit old (14).

Personally if i had to run a business... i would stick to the Original.
