VSP HA Deployment Considerations
Consider the following restrictions when planning a high availability deployment:
•  High availability is supported between SteelHead EXs of the same model and series.
•  High availability is supported between SteelHead EXs, not in SteelHead EX-to-ESX configurations.
•  The primary interfaces and the in-path interfaces of the HA pair of SteelHead EXs must be on the same subnet.
•  The aux interfaces of the HA pair of SteelHead EXs must be on separate subnets.
•  SteelFusion must be licensed on the SteelHead EXs.
•  vSphere must be licensed at the Standard level or later.
