Hi

Did you unplug the cable or did you disable the adaptor?

For a failover, the private and public NIC need to be lost.
If a failover were to be initiated by a NIC failure, there might be
scenarios where you loose communications for a few seconds, and it starts to
ping-pong the servers.

You may want to look at redundant NIC's if this is an issue for you.

Regards
Mike
