Has there been any discussion here about the idea integrating a virtual IP into ZFS. It makes sense to me because of the integration of NFS and iSCSI with the sharenfs and shareiscsi properties. Since these are both dependent on an IP it would be pretty cool if there was also a virtual IP that would automatically move with the pool.
Maybe something like "zfs set ip.nge0=x.x.x.x mypool" Or since we may have different interfaces on the nodes where we want to move the zpool... zfs set ip.server1.nge0=x.x.x.x mypool zfs set ip.server2.bge0=x.x.x.x mypool I know this could be handled with Sun Cluster but if I am only building a simple storage appliance to serve NFS and iSCSI along with CIFS via SAMBA then I don't want or need the overhead and complexity of Sun Cluster. Anyone have comments about whether this is needed and worthwhile? Any good simple alternative ways to move a virtual IP with a zpool from one node to another?
