Ah, ok.
Yep, I'm in a similar situation... I have a few VMs, but not enough for lots of failover infrastructure... (redundant switches, etc)
I was thinking you might be just cloning 1 device to the other or something.
Oh I have a pair of D-Link switches (again off ebay) that are stacked together. My router, NAS and both ProxMox hosts have LACP connections to both. And my home WiFi is a couple Aruba IAPs, one on each switch. So if I lose a switch then most things will keep running.
