If you update the zone configuration on one node you need to do it to all of them so when a failover occurs you don't end up with a different config. I didn't bother automating that part since that can be a tricky issue that adds complexity that I don't need in my case. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here's the core of the failover logic needed:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In /opt/HAC/RSF-1/etc/rc.appliance.c/ add these scripts:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">First, a kill script for ONLY the related zones on the shared storage going down.
