Hey,

We got several HP-UX v 11.00 systems with multiple NICs connected into one
subnet. Each server provides services bundled with primary NIC's IP address
whereas we would like it can be migrated to the standby NIC whenever a
primary link down and switched back after recovery. Though mc/SG being
capable to take that role, I would like to know any other alternatives to
implement this simple HA structure. I heard APA would help but my situation
is each NIC connected to different switches which also cross linked to 2
alteon systems. Thanks in anticipation!

Sting,

APA will support failover with NIC connected to different switches that
are in the same VLAN.

Hi

Maybe those links gives some info. I am still looking if we can instal this
ourselves. It would be nice to speed up our backups over the network.
