Yes, that was my guess, but, my hope was that you can provide some
reasoning for thismethodology way of redundancy which I understand you
were using also for SRP HA, so can you say anything in favor of the
way you were working till now? As I said, this problem of failure in
one side enforcing a failure in the other side, and worse, when there
are more than two players, eg one target and N initiators, fail-over
in one initiator forces the target to fail-over --> forces the other
N-1 initiators to fail-over!?
