vCMP Failover Scenarios
Let's say I have (2) C2400 chassis with (2) B2100's installed in each. Network connections are as follows:
C2400-01/Slot1 - Connected to Switch_1
C2400-01/Slot2 - Connected to Switch_2
C2400-02/Slot1 - Connected to Switch_1
C2400-02/Slot2 - Connected to Switch_2
If Switch_1 dies, thus killing all network connectivity to Blade 1 on each C2400, what happens to the guest running on this blade? Will the guest still run on Blade1, but use the internal blackplane of the C2400 and use network interfaces connected to Blade2 on each chassis (hopefully)? Or will the guest try to migrate to a new blade? What if another blade doesn't have sufficient resources?
I realize that ideally each blade would be multihomed to each Switch, but I don't currently have the required port density to support such a configuration.
Thanks
