Monitor Move

Command

MONITOR MOVE

Description

Designates the IP address that will be failed over to the specified target NIC

Syntax

MONitor MOVE <IP_address> TO NIC <target_NIC> INTERVAL <interval> TIMEOUT <timeout> | <NOTEST> [monitor]

Options

IP_address—The IP address which should be moved during failover
target_NIC—The integer value of the target NIC obtained from the niclist command
INTERVAL interval—The frequency, in seconds, of the monitor requests sent to the source machine to see if it is online and active
TIMEOUT timeout—The number of seconds before failover will occur. This number is reset to its maximum each time the source sends a response to the monitor request.
NOTEST—Allows you to failover an IP address without sending monitor requests or expecting responses from the source. This option should only be used if you are monitoring multiple IP addresses but do not want to send monitor requests to each address.
monitor—Name of the source machine designated as the monitor

Examples

Notes

If you do not specify a monitor, the current source designated as the monitor will be used. If you have not identified a monitor, you will receive an error message stating that a monitor has not been selected.
Monitor names, except for IP addresses, that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
