Highlights
- Automatic failover with notification - designed to support data availability for an unavailable filer and notify an administrator of failover
- Manual failover and giveback - designed to enable planned maintenance on a filer while avoiding impact to data availability; administrators can control when to restore a clustered filer to its normal state
- Non-impacting failover - designed to avoid impact of a failover to end users so they can continue to access data in the same way after a failover
