Configuring the heartbeat settings

If you install the Policy Master on more than one system, you must designate at
least one NIC for a private heartbeat link. A private heartbeat link is a link that
sends status information between systems within the Policy Master cluster.
Private heartbeats are generated every half second.
You can optionally designate a NIC for a low-priority heartbeat link. Low
priority heartbeats are generated every second and do not send status
information. If none of the high-priority links work, low-priority links are
automatically promoted to high-priority links.
To configure the heartbeat settings
1 At the first heartbeat prompt, enter the NIC for the first private heartbeat
link on your VCS One cluster. For example, enter the following:
■ (On Linux) eth0
■ (On Solaris x64) bge0
Type y to confirm the NIC entry.
2 At the second heartbeat prompt, specify if you want to configure a second
private heartbeat link. Type y or n.
3 If you configure a second private heartbeat, enter the NIC. For example,
enter the following:
(On Linux) eth1
■
■ (On Solaris x64) bge1
Type y to confirm the NIC entry.
