system ha lservice

set

system ha lservice

Use this command to configure HA primary unit local services monitoring. Configure local service monitoring so that an active-passive HA primary unit monitors its own network interfaces and hard drives. You must configure how long in seconds to wait between checks of the interfaces or hard drives and how many times the check fails before a failover occurs.

Network interface monitoring monitors all active network interfaces. Network interfaces with their HA interface configuration set to ignore this interface are not monitored. For information about HA interface configuration, see “set system ha takeover” on page 330.

If the primary unit detects an interface failure (for example, if the network cable is disconnected from a monitored interface) or if the primary unit detects a hard drive failure, the primary unit HA effective operating mode changes to off.

If the primary unit effective operating mode changes to off, the primary unit no longer responds to HA heartbeat packets sent by the backup unit. The backup unit assumes that the primary unit has failed and becomes the new primary unit.

Description

Default

 

 

 

{ports hd}

Enter ports to configure primary unit network interface monitoring.

 

 

Enter hd to configure primary unit hard drive monitoring.

 

<check_time_integer>

The check time interval in seconds to wait between checks of the

0

 

interfaces or the hard drives.

 

 

The check time interval range is 1 to 60 seconds. Set the check time

 

 

interval to 0 to disable interface or hard drive monitoring.

 

<retries_integer>

The number of consecutive times interface monitoring or hard drive

0

 

monitoring detects a failure before the primary unit changes its effective

 

 

operating mode to off.

 

 

The number of times the check fails range is 1 to a very high number.

 

 

Set the number of times the check fails to 0 to disable interface

 

 

monitoring or hard drive monitoring.

 

 

 

 

Example

Enter the following command to set primary unit interface monitoring to check the interfaces every 30 seconds and to change the primary unit effective operating mode to off if interface monitoring fails 10 consecutive checks.

set system ha lservice pprts 30 10
