Hi, >- After modifying the file in both files, what must I do in order to >activate the new tests? I have read about "sbcontrol restart" in both >firewalls... is it right? what is the behaviour? is there some service hit? Yes, you need to restart StoneBeat any time you make changes to the configuration files in SBHOME/etc, including checklist. The "sbcontrol restart" command will perform this action. In order to restart, tell the primary to go offline, issue "sbcontrol restart", then switch it back online. The secondary will take over for a few minutes while you do this, preserving the connections. Then you can do the secondary when it's offline again. >- I don't understand very much the "timeout" field. I suppose the necessary >time to switch over in case of problems is "interval" * "retry count". >Therefore, what is the meaning of "timeout"? The "timeout" field is used whenever you specify an external program (as opposed to the StoneBeat built-in tests), and it specifies the amount of time in milliseconds that StoneBeat should wait for a response (either an error or success result) before abandoning that test run and going to the next test. It doesn't apply to built-in tests, so for those a placeholder of "1" is often used. The "interval" is how often (in seconds) that StoneBeat should run the test. It cannot be set to anything less than 3 or 4 seconds, as otherwise the product would spend all of its time testing and not actually doing the HA. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Boltz Stonesoft, Inc.
