    [06/23/17] PowerVC 1.3.3 features a documented reference architecture for configuring PowerVC in somewhat of an active/passive mode. Please consult the 1.3.3 Knowledge Center for documentation on how to setup PowerVC to operate in this mode. Thanks again for your suggestion!

    Thank you for the feedback! We have been looking into this type of request and an upcoming release will document some best practices to achieving an active-passive backup model and the solution will be a documented reference architecture for this type of behavior. Please stay tuned and we'll update this once it's ready! Thanks again.
