    hi all,

    has anyone ended up happy implementing san based heartbeat with powerha 7.1 using vfc or vscsi instead of physical FC?

    any experiences to share?

    thanks & greets

    thanks, fine.
    but it's not "disk based" but "san based" heartbeat I am interested in (new 7.1 feature, no disk device needed).
