CLI for changing priority of gateways

[vijayant]

Hi

We have a remote site with R60 Cluster. At times it happenes that the primarry firewall misbehaves and we lose connectivity to the network behind that firewall. as it is not totally down so secondary do not take over. As we could not access the Smart center server at this moment but the firewalls are still accessible (SSH). So pl tell me the command that I can run on any one of these to change its priority.

the cphaprob command can be used to set arbitrary fail/restore conditions - look n he ClusterXL documentation for details.

However I think your Cluster setup is the problem - any failure on the primary of connectivity should trigger a failover event - it sounds like your state sync or interface polling is not working correctly. I'd debug that first.

It dont seem to be cluster issue.. please check my previous post

Connectivity Breaks with High Ping response

also when we reboot primary the failover takes place..

Is state preserved during failover?

[vijayant]

I am not sure about that, as the connectivity is already down and we reboot the primary... so no idea.

I could not find the required command. Please tell me ..

Do a controlled failover - cphastop on the primary would do it. Have a state-sensitive application running (e.g. FTP) at the time, and see if the connection is affected. If the FTP stops, then your state sync is broken. Fix that, and everything else should start going.

Also, are you using multicast or broadcast for cluster control protocol?

Sorry I could not test that way. Its in production, need multiple levels of approval. So isnt there any command etc to check the state sync. CCP is default so Multicast
