RE: 2 Real Servers & 2 Directors with only 2 machines

We use piranha in fos mode quite extensively, so it is somewhat disturbing
to hear that it has been deprecated.  We do also use Cluster Manager, but
not all the HA configs we use have shared disks, which rules out using CM.
Unless there is a way of using Cluster Manager without shared disks?
