Active-Active Failover for NFS and iSCSI boosts overall system performance and minimizes downtime since the read, write and replication traffic is balanced over two nodes. Active-Passive Failover provides fault tolerance via synchronous Volume Replication for NFS Shares or iSCSI Targets. The whole cluster can be conveniently managed with the HA Cluster Maintenance Mode which enables users to easily reconfigure their setup without downtime.
