9434.0. "ASE Monitoring" by SCASS1::DAVIS_R () Tue Apr 08 1997 17:25

    I apologize if this has been covered previously.  
    
    I have two 8200's, each having two 100Mb ethernet interfaces, which
    will be used as an ASE cluster.  I would like to set these up so that
    one of the 100Mb interfaces is up, the other is down, and the down
    interface will take over for the other in case of a failure.  I can
    see how I would use nfs_ifconfig in the ni_status_awk script to do
    this, but my question concerns ASE monitoring.  Specifically, do I
    configure ASE to monitor both of these interfaces?  Will ASE generate
    an alert only when a transition happens?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    
    A example of NET-FAILOVER that I set at one of my customer sites can be
    found in xirtlu.zk3.dec.com via anonymous ftp. 
    See /pub/ase/example/NET-FAILOVER.
    
    But, I suggest you remove the "ifconfig down" command from the
    ni_status_ksh script provided. It appeared after the example was
    copied, that placing an ASE interface in the down state with ifconfig
    that the inter-daemon communication is stopped if the down interface is
    the Primary or "hostname" one. I also placed a note in SMURF::ASE about
    that.
