There will be at least a momentary outage when you fail over between units. The process is described in SOL11215:

While true, this is usually only a loss of a few packets at the network level (in reference to hardwire failover). With unmirrored short-lived connection or mirrored long-lived connections, TCP handles this failure with aplomb and most nrt applications don't even notice. With rt applications you might see a miniscule screen freeze or some minor audio/video corruption.
