Hi,

If I'm doing AFR server-side, if a server fails and it's IP address fails 
over to the backup server, what happens? Can operation resume as if 
nothing happened, or is state lost and files have to be re-opened?

If server-side AFT breaks with fail-over, is it possible to use 
server-side AFR on some nodes and client-side AFR on others, with the 
client side AFR nodes talking directly to the same storage bricks that the 
server side AFR is unifying for server-side AFR nodes?

Or would this break things?

Gordan
