system ha rservice

set

system ha rservice

Use this command to configure HA backup unit remote services monitoring so that an active-passive HA backup unit monitors the primary unit to verify that the primary unit can accept SMTP service, POP service (POP3), and Web service (HTTP) connections.

For each protocol you must specify the check time interval in minutes to wait between checks and the response time to wait for a response. You must also specify how many times the check fails before the backup unit decides that the primary unit has failed and a failover occurs.

If the backup unit detects a remote services failure, the backup unit HA effective operating mode changes to master and the primary unit effective operating mode changes to off. The backup unit becomes the new primary unit.

0

 

<service_port_integer> would the standard TCP port for

 

 

the service.

 

<check_time_integer>

The check time interval in seconds to wait between remote

0

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

 

 

time interval to 0 to disable remote service monitoring.

 

 

 

 

<response_time_integer>

The response wait time in seconds to wait for a response to a

0

 

remote service check.

 

 

The response wait time range is 1 to a very high number of

 

 

seconds. Set the response wait time to 0 to disable remote

 

 

service monitoring.

 

 

 

 

<retries_integer>

The number of consecutive times remote service monitoring

0

 

detects a failure before the backup unit changes its effective
