VIPRION vCMP and DSC with appliance

Hi,

 

I wonder if it is possible (as temporary solution for short period of time) to add vGuests from VIPRION to existing cluster based on 2000S.

 

My main concern is how to configure Failover. According to info from articles and KB documents best practice for VIPRION vGuests Failover configuration is like that:

 

Two options for Failover configuration are:

 

• Multicast failover
• Unicast failover mesh

Using the multicast failover or unicast full mesh failover feature on VIPRION platforms requires you to configure valid cluster member IP addresses for all vGuest slots on each redundant vGuest.

 

Important: Failure to configure the cluster member IP address on all vGuest slots may result in failover daemon (sod) communication issues.

 

Of course 2000S has only single MGMT IP, so question is how (if at all possible) configure failover on VIPRION vGuest and (if necessary) on 2000S:

 

VIPRION vGuest - use unicast mesh 2000S - just leave existing configuration with single MGMT IP

 

VIPRION vGuest - use multicast failover 2000S - enable multicast failover

 

Other combination?
