Model: OC200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Latest

Regarding the Cluster feature—although I understand it is still in beta—may I kindly request that hardware controllers be included as well? At the moment, it appears only software controllers are supported.

Additionally, for the “Hot-Standby Backup” feature, would it be possible to enhance it into a full failover mechanism for high availability? Ideally, if the primary controller goes down, the system would automatically shift all workloads to the backup controller. Then, once the primary is back online, the workload would seamlessly switch back without requiring any reboots or manual intervention.

Thank you!

Hi  @ceejaybassist 

 

Thanks for the feedback.

>>>OC300 and OC400, OC220 already added this feature. OC200 doesn't have the plan.

>>>This is how it works already. You may have look as the following link:

It's not going back to the Primary node, though, when it goes back up. The secondary stays as the primary. So it's not really a full High availability.

 

"If the previous Primary Node recovers from failover, it will continue to run as a Secondary Node."

 

I'm thinking of making a raspberry pi the secondary node coz I have a x86 system running as the primary node. If the pi stays as the primary node even when the x86 system goes back up, then it's not a full HA.

Hi  @ceejaybassist 

 

I had confirmed and yes, you are right. 

 

Sorry for the confusion caused before. I had recorded this feedback and will forward to the relevant team. 

 

Thanks for your feedback.
