StarWind 5.0 HA/Failover and Windows Updates

Postby MatthewK » Tue Oct 27, 2009 2:52 pm

If I have the new StarWind 5.0 installed on two servers in a mirrored/HA configuration and one is restarted for Windows updates, will the node automatically resync and become available without admin intervention?

Assuming that the updates are done on different days, is it safe to use Windows automatic updates with StarWind 5.0 HA?

Thanks.
Matt

Matt,
Failover switching will be performed automatically, but the synchronization process is still to be initiated manually. The reason for that is that it is possible to synchronize the highly available targets in both directions. Administrator's participation is required to avoid a scenario where a wrong direction will be selected for the synchronization.

Thanks.
