Monitoring in a cluster

Thanks Hamish, that's my position as well.

 

 

Unfortunately a pre-sales from F5 told the net admin that a redundant switch layer between the F5s & the superdomes isn't really necessary so every time I push for a redundant switch layer he uses that to bludgeon me with...

 

 

I need more than just "it's not a best practice" or "use of this configuration is highly unusual and puts you at risk of encountering bugs that would never show up otherwise" to convince him.

 

 

Better arguments welcome...
