Re: [convirt-users] HA / Failover Questions

[jd <jds...@ya...>]

Guys
   Sorry for delayed response.
   Being not able to "move" the VMs out of the failed server is a bug in open source version. 
   We are also working on providing automatic failover from a failed node, this will be available in the Enterprise edition. Please register for beta if you are interested.

Thanks
/Jd
