One funny story about redundancy in general: we run raidframe to mirror the 2 disks in the system... And like I said both firewalls were crashing together... After the crash our allegedly redundant firewalls were both down for 20 minutes for parity rebuilding... simplicity is a beautiful thing ;)
May be that's just me, but a very simple question for you. If you have redundant firewall and I guess you are running CARP on them right? Why would you even have raidframe setup on a firewall.
Isn't it the KISS gold principal would dictate otherwise here. Specially for a firewall. A good firewall needs the minimum setup on it.
Obviously I may be talking none sense here, but RaidFrame on a firewall is the last place I would put it.
What kind of data do you want to protect on a RaidFrame. The list of bad ssh attackers for your PF configurations? Must be a HUGE list to needs RaidFrame for it! (;>
Just a thought, may be review your setup might be much better then trying to get new hardware, but that's just me.
