Add heartbeat
Fill in the fields and click OK.
- Address or hostname for this machine
- Type an initial heartbeat source address in either dotted-decimal or host name format.
The source address is the address of the high availability partner machine that sends
heartbeats. This address must be defined on the physical adapter of the partner that you want
to use to monitor the health of the Load Balancer. You can define a source address for each physical
adapter in the Load Balancer machine.
Note: For mutual high availability feature (role of the load balancer machine is
both primary and backup), specify the Nonforwarding Address (NFA) of
the machine as the main heartbeat. Additional heartbeats can specify other network
addresses of the machines.
- Destination address or hostname
- Type an initial heartbeat destination address in either dotted-decimal or host name format.
The destination address is the address of the high availability partner machine
to which heartbeats and responses are sent. This address must be defined on the physical
adapter of the partner that you want to use to monitor the health of the Load Balancer. You can
define a destination address for each physical adapter in the Load Balancer machine.
Note: For mutual high availability feature
(role of the load balancer machine is both primary and backup), specify the NFA of
the machine as the main heartbeat. Additional heartbeats can specify other network
addresses of the machines.
