defining the network objective for cluster topology

[sebastan_bach]

hi

i am trying to edit the topology of the cluster object .in the network objective there are many options but their meanings have not been explained

monitored private
not monitored private
cluster
cluster + sync
1st sync
2ns sync and so on.

i checked the online help too but could't find the meanings of the same.

i have got meanings for a few.

1st sync i guess this for the interface which is dedicatly used as s sync interface.

cluster i guess this for data interfaces on which we have configured cluster virtual ip address.

cluster + sync i am not sure of this i guess it;s when we are having a vlan for sync interface on data interface on which cluster ip address is configured.

can someone pls correct me and tell what the other 2 options mean monitored private and not monitored private,.

regards

sebastan

Monitored Private -- Monitor the link but do not cluster it
non-monitored Private -- No clustering and no monitoring

All of this is documented in the ClusterXL guide. If you are going to be using ClusterXL you really need to read the documentation. It is a very sophisticated application, much more so than traditional VRRP.

thanks jim in the doc they had mentioned monitored private so i thought it might be something other than normal monitoring the state of the interface.
