Setting Failover

The Failover attributes determine the intervals at which the secondary host polls the primary host and also when the poll requests time out if they do not receive a response. After you define the primary and secondary hosts, the secondary host polls the primary host on a fixed interval. If the secondary host cannot communicate with the primary host, it attempts to take over the serviced systems for which it is designated the secondary host.

To set Failover:

CM Edit> set failover

To change the intervals:

Keepalive timer interval (120): 90
Polling timeout (60): 45

In the above example the Keepalive Timer default is being changed to 90 seconds and the Polling Timeout default is being changed to 45 seconds.
