High Availability Status - Field Help
Current Statistics
You can refresh the current statistics displayed on the High Availability
Status panel. Also displayed are a current list of heartbeats and reach targets.
- State
- The current state of the primary host machine. Possible values are:
- Active--this machine is load balancing packets
- Standby--this machine is not load balancing packets; it is monitoring the state of an
active Dispatcher
- Idle--this machine is load balancing packets, and is not trying to establish contact
with a partner Dispatcher
- Listen--this machine is listening for communication from a backup Load Balancer
- Sub-state
- The current sub-state of this machine; only applies if you have started to configure
high availability. Possible values are:
- Synchronized--this machine has established contact with another Dispatcher
- Not Synchronized--this machine is trying to establish contact with another Dispatcher,
but has not yet succeeded
- Port number
- The number of the port on which this machine is passing back and forth heartbeat messages
with its partner.
- Role
- The role of the port. The port will act as the primary, backup or both (in the case of mutual
high availability).
- Recovery Strategy
- The method in which the primary machine will resume load balancing.
- Automatically--the primary machine will resume load balancing as soon as it comes
back into service.
- Manual--the primary machine will act as standby for the backup machine until you have
manually forced the primary to takeover
Lists
- Primary Host
- The address of the primary host in dotted decimal format.
- Cluster
- The cluster name or address to which clients connect. The cluster value is either a
symbolic name or in dotted-decimal format. A cluster value of 0.0.0.0 can be used to
specify a wildcard cluster. Please refer to the "Use a wildcard cluster to combine server
configurations" section in the
Load Balancer Administration Guide
for more information.
- Cluster Address
- The address to which clients connect. The cluster address can be either the
dotted-decimal IP address or the host name of the machine. If the cluster value is not resolvable,
you must provide this IP address of the physical machine.
- State
- The current state of the primary host machine. Possible values are:
- Active--this machine is load balancing packets
- Standby--this machine is not load balancing packets; it is monitoring the state of an
active Dispatcher
- Idle--this machine is load balancing packets, and is not trying to establish contact
with a partner Dispatcher
- Listen--this machine is listening for communication from a backup Load Balancer
