Cluster network implications
The cluster network’s role in cluster management makes it undesirable to have the same failover
characteristics as a user network. Instead, it is important that each node has a unique identity on
the cluster network. If a node is degraded and the user network fails over to a backup node, the
degraded node can still be monitored and managed using the cluster network.
StoreAll node customer integration features
The StoreAll platform supports features that are not required when implementing a fully redundant
StoreAll cluster, but are supported to ease integration with existing customer networking infrastructure
and policy.
