storage DRS HA

Hello,

I read and watched couple of videos about Storage DRS in vSphere 5.

One question that I didn't find the answer for is:

Is it possible with DRS to provide service continuity in case of the one clustered store failure.

If not with DRS what are other technologies?

Thanks.

Michael.

In case a storage/datatsore fails and is not accessibly anymore, storage DRS cannot access it either. To provide redundancy for storage you need to do this on the storage side. Most storage systems provide storage mirroring, some of them require a manual failover, others provide a transparent failover.
