	The High-Availability Virtual Network Interface provides the HA Group with a Virtual IP that can fail-over with the group between nodes, providing client connections with a consistent connection to the Storage Pool/Shares regardless of what node currently has the Storage Group imported. This will require another IP address separate from any in use for the Storage Systems.

	Once the previous steps have all been completed, the High Availability Group is ready to be activated. Once the HA Group is activated, the Site Cluster will begin monitoring node membership and initiate fail-over of the Storage Pool (+Shares/Volumes) and the Virtual IP Address if the activate node is detected as offline or not responding via any of the available Heartbeat Rings. This is why redundant Heartbeat Rings are essential; with only one Heartbeat Ring any transient network interruption could result in unnecessary fail-over and service interruptions.
